Q. What age should my child begin taking lessons?
A. Generally, piano is a good beginning instrument for children. Most teachers will accept beginners as young as 2nd grade, or age 7. Most instrumental teachers (percussion, brass, woodwinds & strings) prefer that children be in at least the 4th grade, or age 9. The teenage years, after children’s voices change, is a good time to begin voice lessons. This varies slightly from teacher to teacher. Our private instructors list their beginning student ages in their respective biographies on the Looking4Lessons™ website.
