  At what age should a child start taking music lessons? This is a question that many parents are confused about. To answer this question, we need to know if and when the child is ready.

   First, parents should watch and find out if their children are interested in music. A piano is fascinating to children that like music. When they sit at the piano and start playing, they always enjoy themselves. To those who have no interest in it, however, the piano just makes a noise. So it is never a wise idea to make children do anything that they don’t like.

   It is very important to communicate with your children. Explain to them that if they want to take music lesson they should be willing to learn, study and practice. Tell them they may get tired of practicing the same piece again and again. But practice make perfect and it does help them a lot in the long run.

   Finally, sometimes the children aren’t confident in themselves, so parents also need to encourage them and support their learning.
