The above sessions are all suitable for beginners and all would be very much welcome to attend. Our Music Centres are a great way of getting involved with music. As such are in the process of reshaping our Music Centres offer and are looking forward to introducing our Early Years offer in the new year. We recognise the importance of children being able to access group music activities for singing and musical games as these can lead onto recorder or ocarina in groups as well as tuned and untune percussion in a more informal environment. As mentioned earlier, for some woodwind or brass instrument, having transitioned from milk teeth to their adult teeth is a prerequisite. Physicality plays a huge part and the child will need to be able to have the hand span and reach to be able to access the instrument. We would not normally recommend starting an instrument before the age of 6 years old but recognise that some students may not be ready at this age or might be ready a little earlier as they near their 6th birthday. Will they want to attend a lesson weekly and will they practise regularly?Īre they beginning to read and count? Can they identify and understand numbers and letters? String instruments, guitar, ukulele, keyboards, voice or a beginner session at one of our Music Centres (more details below) could be a suitable alternative.Ĭould they concentrate for a 20-minute lesson? How developed are their fine motor skills and their hand-eye coordination?įor woodwind or brass instruments has your child transitioned from milk to adult teeth (top front teeth)? Recorder, flute and fife would not require adult teeth. Is there a particular instrument your child has expressed an interest in learning to play? Here are some questions to consider before enrolling your child for music lessons: At what age can my child start Learning an Instrument?Īs every child develops differently, this will be very dependent on the child.
