Who should take piano lessons? What age is best to start?
It is highly recommended that parents wait until their child is at least six years old to start learning piano. This is because the piano requires dexterity in both fingers and ability to control them. Before the age of six, many children do not have ligaments and bones fully connected [see image below]. As you can see, the ligaments continue to develop and it is after year four that we find it to be easier to control the fingers. If you are wanting to get your child involved in music lessons, I would recommend group classes or the ukulele (you can visit that page here).

The teachers at Level Up Music Academy are passionate about creating an atmosphere of learning and welcoming all skill levels. Generally, the lesson will consist of work with scales, chords, lesson and theory book. There is discussion on technique worked in, and we always make sure to include a song the student would want to learn. Do they love Minecraft? Mario? Great! We will include a song from something fun they enjoy in the lesson too. Music lessons are not meant to be stressful. If the student at any point feels overwhelmed, we want them to feel comfortable discussing that with the instructor. We can always adjust the workload.
