These are portable and often easier to start, since the student begins with one line of music on a single staff. Your child's starting instrument isn't critical. What is crucial, however, is that the instrument capture the child's interest. The public and private schools generally start music lessons about the fourth grade. But students develop a strong sense of esprit in mastering music with their friends.
Private lessons work well with school training.
Good private teachers communicate with school teachers to get students ready for important events. Some schools even let students out for private music lessons. When you sign your child up for lessons, you're taking on the responsibility to team-motivate. Think of the last time you built a campfire. You and the teacher will share the experience of creating the musical fire.
