When is my child ready to start
private lessons?
For most children, the best time to start learning their
first instrument through private lessons is usually sometime between the ages
of six and ten years of age. Here is a
quick check list of questions to ask yourself before making the commitment to
enroll in private lessons.
Can my child sit and stay focused for 15 to
30 minutes on a series of directed tasks?
Is my child reading and writing yet? (Reading and writing are not necessarily
required prerequisites for music lessons, but both skills are very helpful when
it comes working and practicing more independently.)
Can my child identify patterns and recognize
up and down?
Is my child ready to accept the guidelines
and expectations of the teacher?
Does my child have the fine motor control, interest,
and attention span necessary for daily home practice?
If you answered “yes” to most of these questions, then your
child may be ready for lessons. At
Kathy’s Music we offer a complimentary evaluation with one of our Music
Artistry teachers.
Contact our office to
schedule a time to meet with an instrument or voice teacher to learn more about
lessons and see our studio spaces.
For some students, Group Classes are the best place to start.
We offer Group Voice classes for ages 6 to 10 years in Mt. Lebanon and McMurray
Our "Piano Corner" classes are group piano classes designed just for 4's & 5's.
Learn more about those offerings here.
