There really aren't any hard and fast rules when it comes to introducing your child to the joys of the guitar. With that said, we'd usually suggest starting them around the age of six. You don't want to start them too early and scare them off the instrument forever. However, it's worth remembering that you know your child better than anyone else, so it is worth encouraging them when you feel they are ready. If you want to develop their musical appreciation early then, we recommend the ukulele, as it's the perfect gateway instrument.
