Music is something that people of all ages can enjoy. Even small children love music - even if they aren’t sure what it is yet. As kids grow, they might become more interested in music - listening to it, even playing it! But are they ready for music lessons? What is a good age for them to begin music lessons? This article will help answer those questions and help you decide what action to take for your kids.

Music Lesson Age Groups

Past studies have shown that early exposure to music helps children cultivate their interest and skill as they grow older, which can often lead to some long-term benefits of learning music. Let’s take a look at what ages you can begin to encourage an interest of music in your child, and what ages are ideal for starting music lessons.

6 Months - 3 Years Old

Babies fall asleep to lullabies for a reason! When a baby is introduced to music at around 6 months, they might begin to engage with it - moving or dancing. As your child grows, they will be able to familiarize themselves with music even more. Once they are around age 2, they will begin to recognize songs and instruments. A great way to have fun with your child and encourage their curiosity in music is to take a class at Creative Soul. We offer a Makin’ Music Rockin’ Rhythms Program for children ages 0-3. Check out all the details on our website. We’d love to meet your little musician.

4-7 Years Old

The ages 4-7 are usually the most ideal for starting to learn an instrument. Not only are kids’ hands and minds functional enough to play, but they can actually begin to understand the basics of music. A great way for kids to start learning more about music is to sign them up for a weekly class at Creative Soul called Little Soul Rockers. Children will be able to interact with each other, learning an instrument and the basics of music theory in the process. This also gives parents a little bit of a break in their busy week. If your child decides that music is something they want to adopt as a hobby, you can also sign them up for private lessons to learn a variety of instruments! And the best part is that they aren’t required to have any prior musical experience or knowledge. Our instructors are here to befriend, encourage and teach your child wherever their skillset lies.

Ideal Instruments: Drums, Guitar, Harmonica, Piano, Ukulele, Voice, etc.

10+ Years Old

If your child started learning an instrument at an early age, by age 10 kids can have a moderate to advanced set of skills that they can further work toward developing. Private lessons at Creative Soul are offered to ages 4 all the way to adulthood. If you, as a parent, would love to pick up a new skill - or maybe you used to play - we’d love to teach you, too! You can choose to learn an instrument with your child or not. It’s never too late! Even if music-making isn’t your interest, you can always stay supportive as your child begins music lessons. Talk to them about what they are learning. Ask them to show you! Ideal Instruments: Banjo, Bass, Drums, Dulcimer, Guitar, Harmonica, Piano, Saxophone, Trumpet, Ukulele, Violin, Voice, etc.

What age should you start keyboard lessons?

Many experts agree that ages 6-9 is a good window for starting your child at the keyboard. They've probably experienced classroom learning by that time, and they will be large enough and strong enough to sit at the piano and play.

Is It Ever Too Late to Learn the Piano?

Can you learn the piano as an adult, and is it ever too late to get started? Individuals at all stages of adulthood successfully learn how to play the piano, and we have young adults, middle-aged students, and retirees taking lessons at the Philadelphia Piano Institute. If you are starting from scratch, you should expect about two years of practice before you are able to play satisfying music and “sight read,” but if you are particularly motivated, you can cut that to about a year or so. The real question to ask is whether or not you have time to practice every day. Piano is a lot like learning a language, and you have to devote consistent effort if you want to really learn. Practicing three hours the night before your lessons won’t do much, but if you practice 30 minutes every day, you will see significant, regular improvement. So no, it is almost never too late to learn the piano. And the sooner you get started with lessons, the sooner you’ll be able to play!

Can a 2 Year Old Learn Piano?

No. You should encourage musical discovery with your child by getting musical toys, letting them fool around on your piano if they express interest, and maybe enrolling them in music classes for toddlers and similar activities.

Can a 3 Year Old Learn Piano?

We’ve had one instance of successful lessons with a three year old at the Philadelphia Piano Institute, and his parents were musicians, he watched his older sibling all take piano lessons, and he exhibited remarkable intelligence. Outside of a child prodigy scenario, this is really the only situation where it would be worth your time to enroll your three year old in lessons.
