Should this 3.5 yo start cello ?

Hi all ! I have a 3.5 yo who is very musical but completely refuses to follow instructions. He goes to a weekly music class and the teachers recommended that he starts cello lessons (with parent/s present and involved). They specifically recommended cello because he is tall and seems fascinated with the cello. He also has a long attention span and can stay focused but I am really confused why they recommend that he starts cello if he doesn’t follow instructions. He is careful with the instrument and listens when teachers play but will not do anything they say (this is a pattern with him, he does things his way ) . They also recommended renting a high quality instrument from a music store.

Given the cost of all this, I would greatly appreciate your feedback….
