What's the right age to start music lessons?
We've all heard the stories of famous musical prodigy children, from Mozart writing his first symphony at the age of eight to Stevie Wonder, who signed with Motown at the age of 11. Even if your child doesn't perform, your family is undoubtedly exposed to talented children nearby. Whether it's the church or kindergarten choir or an elementary school band concert, it seems parents had their children from birth in music class should be immersed if they want them to succeed, and in a way they are right.
Music Lessons in Old Age
Parents often hear complaints from other parents that affect them to music class postpone until their child is older, such as: “My parents forced me to play an instrument when I was young. . I hated it then and still hate it.” To avoid this negative attitude, parents choose to postpone music lessons until their child is older and can choose their own instrument or make the decision that they even want to play an instrument. They too are right. These statements may seem contradictory. In reality, it's about how you define music class. To better understand this, it's important to look at the underlying reasons why a parent wants their child to be taught music.
Duidelijk en logisch dat je kinderen al op jonge leeftijd moet laten kennismaken met muziek. Mijn jongste kleindochter kreeg op haar 2e al een mini-xylofoon en op haar 3e een kleine gitaar. Ze is nu bijna 12 en heeft haar eerste composities (waaronder de musical voor haar school) gemaakt op een marimba. Ze heeft ook een eigen registratie-systeem ontwikkeld, die anders is dan het traditionele notenschrift.
