What Age is Best to Learn an Instrument?

What is the best age to learn music. The short answer is… ANY AGE! There are certain benefits to every age of learning. We take students as young as 5 with our Young Beginner program. Music is a language, one with many different dialects, and kids under 10 absorb languages a lot more easily than adults. That’s the main advantage of learning young. The key though is consistent practice and sticking with it. The majority of our adult students say they started with an instrument as a kid and just wish they stuck with it. I didn’t start getting serious about music until I was around 14, but having played violin and trombone in school for 7 years, I was able to hit the ground running when I picked up a guitar. Whether or not you stick with your original instrument or switch to another one, getting the ball rolling young is a great idea.
