What Age Should My Child Start Piano Lessons?

One of the most common questions we hear is, “When is the right time to start piano lessons?” The short answer: earlier than you might think!

At Selah Music and Arts, we welcome students as young as 5 years old, as long as they’re ready to follow simple instructions, sit for short periods, and show interest in music. You don’t need perfect hand coordination or the ability to read—those skills develop naturally as we go.

Starting young gives children a head start on building rhythm, listening skills, and muscle memory. We use games, movement, and creative exercises to keep early lessons fun and engaging, while gently introducing musical structure and habits that will stick for years to come.
