Best Age to Start Music Lessons (by Instrument)
Guitar Lessons
6+ Years Old
Learning guitar can be stressful on a child’s fingers and ultimately become frustrating. This is especially true for younger children.
When it comes to fine motor skills, finger strength and flexibility, we’ve found it’s best to start guitar lessons at age 6 at the very minimum. If a student younger than 6 wants to play guitar badly, we recommend starting with ukulele as a much easier alternative.
Piano Lessons
4+ Years Old
Piano lessons are a wonderful option for young students wanting to begin music lessons! Students are able to start at an early age because playing the piano consists of pressing down keys easily with minimal strength. This makes learning songs a fun and exciting experience!
Voice Lessons
11-12 Years Old
The minimum age we recommend a student start voice lessons is around 11-12 years old. A voice lesson which focuses strictly on technique can be very challenging on younger vocal chords that have not yet developed. Students who usually gain the most out of private voice lessons are going through or have fully gone through puberty.
Bass Guitar Lessons
8+ Years Old
Electric bass strings are very thick. Because of the string thickness, students will need greater finger and hand strength to press each string to the fret board to create clear and sustained notes. Considering this, we recommend bass lessons to students above 7 years of age.
Drum Lessons
5+ Years Old
We recommend drum lessons for interested students ages 5 and up. Drums is a great introductory instrument when it comes to learning rhythm and timing. For younger students (5 and 6 years old), we recommend starting with a small practice pad or single drum and eventually moving up to a full set of drums if desired.
Violin Lessons
6+ Years Old
Violins come in four sizes; 1/4 (quarter size), 1/2 (half size), 3/4 (three quarter size), and 4/4 (full size). The size is based on the student’s arm length and any qualified string instrument provider will be able to measure your child quickly and accurately on site. They will also ensure that size is comfortable for the student. Due to the fine motor skills needed to learn how to play the violin, we recommend starting violin lessons at the minimum age of 6.
Cello Lessons
8+ Years Old
Students beginning cello lessons will need to ensure they are properly sized for their instrument. Cellos also come in four sizes (1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 4/4 sizes.). When measured, the cello size is based on the student’s arm length and ability to sit with the cello sitting comfortably against their shoulder at the correct height and between the student’s knees.
Cello strings are much thicker than violin strings, also requiring the student to have more hand and finger strength to press strings to the finger board. A student can start cello younger than 8, however, due to the fine motor skills needed to learn the instrument, we recommend starting no younger than 8 yrs. old for the best experience.
