Question:
Any thoughts on what is a good age to enroll a child in guitar lessons. My
son will be six in December and has expressed an interest in lessons. Has
anyone had their children in guitar lessons at this age or taught five and
six year olds? Also, any recommendations for a particular brand of guitar for
kids of this age. I presume they would be starting with nylon string.
Answer:
interest, he probably is ready. You would have to be careful about the
teacher, though. Not all teachers could handle a six-year-old, at least not
without committing some violent act in the process. ( I think I belong in that
category. )
He will most likely progress more slowly than an older child, but as long as he
sticks with it, that doesn't matter. The thing I would try to guard against
most is having music become a chore. Music and making music is supposed to be
fun. What is the point otherwise
