Piano/Guitar/Ukulele/Violin/Viola: Many children are ready for lessons as early as age 5, and most are ready at age 6. Although every child is unique, the requirement for our youngest students is enrollment in Kindergarten. Students should be able to stay focused throughout a 30-minute lesson. If you are unsure about your child’s readiness, please do not hesitate to contact us here.
Voice: Voice lessons should typically begin later than piano. This is due to the constantly changing nature of the growing vocal folds and larynx, as well as the abstract nature of many of the concepts taught. Many students are ready for lessons at age nine, depending on maturity. Early lessons will focus on musicality, breath support, and musical concepts and reading. At middle school age we are able to begin exploring more advanced concepts. Students with an interest in singing who are too young for lessons would benefit from piano lessons, where they will learn valuable musical skills that will apply to singing as well.
Clarinet: Clarinet lessons are perfect for students playing in an orchestra. Students’ hands should be large enough to hold and play the instrument before taking lessons. Although this can vary, students are generally ready around 10 years of age.
