OT--how old for music lessons?
Since I had no musical talent, this was not an issue for me, so I have
nothing to relate to. But my 2.5 year-old son is exhibiting remarkable musical tendencies not seen in his twin sister. For example, when he bangs on the piano, it usually makes some sense, has some sort of order to it. And the other day, he was hitting the keys, and singing (humming, really), and when he went to higher keys, his singing got higher, and when his fingers went to the left and started playing lower keys, his singing got lower. So at what age do you start teaching them? Can I just buy a "Teach Yourself Piano at Hime" book for now, and go through that with him till he can deal with organized lessons? At what age for formal lessons? If this was sports, I'd know what to do, but for music, I am clueless. In case you are wondering why we have a piano if we have no musical background, my wife had taken lessons when she was a kid, and can't play now, but her parents asked us to take the piano off of their hands. It's electric, about 25 years old, and mostly just collected dust until we had kids. |
