Page 1

Piano lessons improve concentration & memory skills, better child's self-confidence, & hand-eye coordination!


How’s Your Child at Counting & Reading? Your child needs to know how to count to five to learn rhythm & time! Knowing the alphabet is important & basic reading skills are a big plus

Child needs to know how to identify symbols on sheet music!

“No, Your Other Right” Many parents of young kids have heard this phrase jokingly said to young children who are learning a skill when using the wrong hand or foot! However, your child needs to know the difference between left & right to learn how to play the piano

Piano playing involves specific use of left and right hands


Consider Basic Motor Skills & Hand Size A child’s hand size is also a factor in determining their readiness to start piano lessons

If hands are too small, & they cannot touch 5 adjacent white keys at the same time, it’s best to wait until this is possible!

How’s Their Attention Span? Kids usually need an attention span of 30 minutes to successfully start piano lessons Instructors will divide lessons into smaller sections so younger children maintain focus from section to section


Practice, Practice, Practice This will help them remember what they learned in their lesson & improve their skills! In the early stages of piano lessons, it can be helpful for younger children to break up their practice time into 10 or 15 minute intervals..

Expressed Interest in Learning the Piano When a child is motivated by interest, they progress faster & further "They will focus better during lessons & will want to practice more" If your child has expressed interest in learning the piano, it’s an important indicator that they will benefit from piano lessons
