At What Age Should My Child Begin Taking Piano Lessons?

Each and every child is different, which is why I do not like to assign an exact age for beginning piano lessons.

However, there are a few basic requirements that a child should meet before beginning lessons, in order to ensure their success:

• The child should recognize the ABC's and be developing basic reading skills.
• The child should be able to sit through a 30-minute private lesson.
• The child should have a desire to play the piano and a willingness and ability to practice regularly at home.

If your student meets or exceeds each of these expectations, then it is time to get them started in their musical lessons!
