FAQ
What is the minimum age recommended for my child to begin piano lessons? When should my child begin piano lessons?
Most Children can begin private piano lessons as four or five. Some exceptional cases have been noted from as early as 3 years old, however it depends on their aptitude and attention span. Research is showing that the natural sense of pitch and rhythm is at its peak between ages of 4-6. So it is always better to start them young to get an early foundation in piano study or musically skills and it is never too soon to start music lessons.
At this age children easily imitate piano player's movements that is important for laying the foundation of good technical mastery.
Do I have to have a piano or digital piano for my child to take piano lessons? Can my child learn begin on a keyboard?
Although having a piano or digital piano is desirable, it is not necessary for beginning students. Beginners may begin learning keyboard skills on an electronic keyboard for a while; however, the keyboard must have full sized keys and at least six octaves and damper pedal. Renting piano for a term of 6 month, for instance, is another option.
However, if the child demonstrates good musical abilities, the acquiring of piano becomes a necessary condition for his/her successful development.
