The ideal starting age depends on both the instrument and the individual child. As a general guideline:
• Piano and ukulele: From the year a child turns 6, or when they are beginning to read and can focus for short periods
• Clarinet: Recommended from around 10 years old, as it requires stronger breath control and slightly larger hands
Every child develops differently, and we are happy to discuss whether your child is ready.
Students are encouraged to own or rent an instrument so they can practise at home and get the most out of their lessons. Instruments do not need to be expensive, especially when starting out.
If you would like to try lessons before committing to an instrument, that is absolutely fine.
• The teacher’s piano or ukulele can be used during lessons
• For clarinets, students must bring their own instrument due to hygiene requirements
We are happy to advise on suitable beginner instruments and rental options.
