Music Education

General Questions

Q. When should my child begin music lessons?

A. There is no research that suggests any age is better than any other. However recent research from University of California indicate that the positive effects of learning to play a musical instrument on cognition and brain development in children is most dramatic before the age of 12. The best time is when a child wants to learn.

Q. What should I look for in a teacher?

A. Teaching children music is a specialty. Any teacher of children who does not allow parental attendance should be avoided. Teachers should have experience and training with children.
