When should my child start piano lessons?

The average start age of our students is around 5 years old. However, it is different for every child! Some start earlier and some start later, the little girl below in the video started her with us at 4 years old. Here is a short checklist of things to consider before enrolling your child in our program.
1. Attention Span: Is your child able to direct their focus for an extended period of time? Lessons start at 30 minutes long. Can they sit, listen, learn and play for 30 minutes straight?
2. Alphabet: Can your child identify the alphabet letters from A-G?
3. Interest in Music and Desire to Learn: The most important thing to consider before starting lessons is your child's own desire to learn. If the motivation to learn comes from within it will drive them to overcome all sorts of difficulties that they will encounter.
