  Piano lessons- Is my child old enough to start lessons?
 As a rough general rule, I take on new students from age six upwards.  However, every child is different, and the following guidelines will help determine if your child is ready to start lessons with me, whatever their age.  If you think that they are ready for lessons then please contact me to arrange an initial lesson.

Can they...

  • Read numbers, count to 10 and do simple adding up (eg 2+2=4) ?
     

  • Read the letters of the alphabet and short sentences?
     

  • Physically sit still for 30 minutes?
     
  • Focus on having fun at the piano for 10-15 minutes?
     
  • Hold a pen or pencil easily to write with?

    Happily spend time without feeling anxious that you are not sitting in the room with them.

If so then they are probably ready to make the most of having lessons.  If not, in the meantime give them lots of musical stimulation at home, and go about arranging lessons for them when they are able to do all of these things.
