When to start piano lessons age
What is the Best Age to Start Piano Lessons? What Age to Start Piano Lessons
hi I'm Robert Esther here at living
panakam the question today is what is
the right age to begin piano lessons
perhaps you have kids and you're
wondering should you start lessons now
or wait a while and you know there's a
variable here because each child is
unique so I have seen four-year-olds who
are ready to go and I've seen
eight-year-olds who were not ready for
lessons
generally speaking somewhere between the
ages of 6 & 9
for many kids of the good age and it's
no accident kids are going to school
have learned how to take written
direction and how to work independently
and this is what is required in piano
study now if you're a parent who has an
active interest in your child's studies
and have some musical background it's
possible to work with a very young
children and be productive however
different children have different levels
of maturity some kids just will can't
sit still on the banks for more than 30
seconds without slithering under the
piano and obviously you don't want to
make it a battle trying to keep them
there on the bench so maybe it's a
better idea to just expose them to music
play games at the piano play recorded
music keep them to outdoor concerts
exposure after all is a big element of
talent developing the musical language
from a young age you'll know it's the
right time if your child can take
written directions if they can do their
homework on their own chances are they
can also be successful at piano lessons
consider helping your child because
practicing the piano done correctly is
hard work you want to encourage your
children and make it fun for them as
much as possible
so check out your child you could always
try lessons to see how it works out and
if the child is not taken to it the last
thing the world you want to do is have
them burn out a piano
so be sensitive to your children and see
the right age and you'll probably sense
when they're ready and if you have any
questions about a specific child or
situation feel free to contact me Robert
