As a parent, you want to expose your children to as many interesting experiences as possible, and that includes exposure to music. Most music teachers agree that it is not a good idea to expose children to formal music lessons too early because that is a sure way to put them off music. We recommend avoiding lessons before the age of eight, unless they show a real interest in children's musical instruments before then. Expose them to different styles and genres of music. By taking them to see live music they can really engage in the whole experience and it may just inspire them to learn to play a musical instrument.
They should be able to recognise numbers and know the alphabet up to G before taking up a musical instrument. They should also be developmentally ready as well, both physically and emotionally. For example, if a child is to play the trumpet or cornet, really they should wait until they have their second set of front teeth.
A popular children's musical instrument is the recorder, it also provides a good introduction to other wind instruments. The recorder can also be played to a high standard and can sound good when played solo and a part of a group. Because it comes in a variety of sizes, there is a recorder suitable for all aged children.
Other wind instruments such as the trombone or clarinet are better suited to older children as they require a lot of effort to produce a sound. Generally, these types of instruments don't come in smaller sizes and when they do (the piccolo or soprano saxophone, for example), they require a good level of skill and so are not really ideal for young children. Most children start with the cornet and progress to larger and more complicated instruments as they mature.
A popular musical instrument for having lessons on is the piano, which acts as the foundation to most musical learning. Once a child has enough strength to press down the keys they can learn this musical instrument. Another popular children's musical instrument is the violin as this comes in smaller sizes. Some stringed instruments can be 1/8 of the size of full sized instruments. The majority of guitars, for example, come in smaller sizes and are suitable for children aged 8 and above.
Of course, singing is also a wonderful way of enjoying music without needing an instrument. Children ought to be inspired to sing from a young age and have self-confidence in their own ability. Singing is a thing which all children can be concerned with and is a great group activity for school music classes.
