Imagine this scenario: you\u2019re the parent of a curious five-year-old child (we\u2019ll name the child \u201cJulie\u201d) who can sing her favorite song on the radio in key by memory. After recognizing Julie\u2019s growing love for music, you buy her a keyboard to play that she loves to bang around on for what seems like hours every day, creating new and wonderful songs for all to enjoy. Her enthusiasm for music by this point seems unquenchable. Finally, the thought manifests in your mind\u2014Julie may be exhibiting some musical talent.<\/em> Maybe it\u2019s time to sign her up for some music lessons for kids. <\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"girl<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Few situations are more fulfilling for a music teacher than recognizing the origins of a lifelong passion for music developing in a student. However, passion and enthusiasm are often difficult to distinguish, particularly in young children. Many teachers choose to opt out of having a fixed age requirement for their studio and will accept nearly any young student who is willing and eager, largely due to the fact that it\u2019s incredibly difficult to gauge whether a young student is ready to begin lessons based on age alone. Enthusiasm for music can certainly develop into passion that will provide all the motivation and perseverance required to learn an instrument; however, it\u2019s essential to ask yourself the following questions as the parent or guardian regarding your child before enrolling them in music lessons<\/a> for kids:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is my child able to sit and focus for a 30+ minute lesson?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most music lessons for kids, especially very young ones, will last for 30 minutes, though some teachers prefer longer sessions (sometimes up to an hour). Even 30 minutes can be extremely difficult for a young child to sit through attentively. However, if you\u2019re worried that your child might not be able to sit and focus through an entire lesson, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that lessons won\u2019t be successful. I would recommend asking your potential teacher(s) the following questions to accurately assess how your child might do in his or her music lessons for kids and to help establish expectations:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How do you organize your lesson time? Are multiple activities involved to help break up the lesson, or is the focus based on one topic for the full duration? \"music<\/em><\/p>\n

This question is not only important for preparing your child for what to expect in his or her first lesson but also for helping evaluate the level of flexibility allowed in lessons. Some young students thrive off of stricter, more focused lessons while others succeed at lessons that bounce from activity to activity every few minutes. Some teachers are willing to adjust to each student\u2019s particular needs, and some teachers stick with a set teaching style. There\u2019s no correct answer for what method ultimately works best, but it\u2019s worth both your time and your teacher\u2019s time to investigate this relationship before lessons begin.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Does my child travel to your teaching studio for lessons, or do you travel to my home? <\/em><\/p>\n

More often than not, teachers and students consider location a non-issue. That being said, if you know that your child will have a much more difficult time focusing at home rather than in a teaching studio (or vice versa), then it\u2019s worth considering the location for music lessons for kids. The travel time to the teaching location will also factor into whether your child has enough time to devote to music lessons, which I\u2019ll elaborate on later in this article.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"children<\/em>Do you currently have other students around the same age as my child? <\/em><\/p>\n

The teacher\u2019s comfort level with teaching young children impacts your own child\u2019s comfort level. Though it\u2019s not necessary for the potential teacher to specialize in teaching young children, a teacher who currently teaches students your child\u2019s age could open the possibility of doing group lessons with other children (usually at a lower cost for you and sometimes more stimulating for young children than individual lessons).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

How well can my child read?\"mother<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While communication between student and teacher in music lessons is primarily verbal, teachers will almost always write down assignments for practice time. Additionally, lesson books<\/a> contain instructions that need to be reviewed while the student practices, and the basics of learning any instrument (music theory) require an understanding of the alphabet<\/a>. The ability or inability to read won\u2019t impact the success of the music lessons for kids itself, but will inhibit any progress the student might make if he or she is unable to practice and understand assignments. If the parent is willing to sit down with the student to help communicate written assignments and directions during practice time until the student is able to read proficiently, however, then the student\u2019s reading ability won\u2019t cause too much of a disadvantage.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Does my child realistically have the time to commit to learning an instrument?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Take a moment to consider the hours spent in school each weekday, time spent completing homework and participating in other activities (such as sports, dance, religion class, etc.), time spent at day care or play dates, and time needed for everyday needs (meals, baths, downtime). Once you have an idea of what your child\u2019s daily schedule looks like, factor in not only the 30+ minutes needed each week for the music lesson but also the time spent commuting if traveling to the teacher and a few minutes each day to devote to practicing. Equally important, do YOU as the parent or family member have the time to help your child with his or her practice if needed?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My personal teaching philosophy with young students (based on what I\u2019ve found most successful over the past few years) is consistency over duration\u2014practicing for 10 minutes a day will be much more beneficial than practicing for an hour once a week. If it doesn\u2019t seem feasible for your child to spend 10 or so minutes a day while still enjoying the process of learning an instrument and not feeling overwhelmed, then now may not be the time to enroll in music lessons for kids.<\/p>\n

\"child<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My goal in writing this article is for anyone debating whether his or her young child is too young for music lessons can make this difficult decision with confidence. Your child\u2019s age is only one of many factors to consider, and approaching lessons with some contemplation beforehand will undoubtedly result in a more successful and rewarding experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
