For private lessons, the main criteria is attention span and desire to learn. But equally important is the fact that different instruments require different degrees of physical strength. For example, acoustic guitar requires much more finger strength than the electric guitar and the bass guitar requires more strength than both. So, there is no firm minimum age. It all depends on each student’s individual readiness. 

We have different programs for children at different ages and stages of development. If you are uncertain what kind of program is appropriate for your child, or if you think your child might have a special talent that would allow him or her to participate in our programs for older ages, please Call or send us a message right here for a personal assessment.

Our program provides a strong foundation in music theory on your instrument and incorporates reading music at different stages of your musical development, depending on your goals and knowledge. If you already know how to read music from previous experience, you might start using your reading skills with your MusicInstructor.Net program from day one.

• You can get one-size-fits-all instruction that way, but videos can’t identify and correct what you might be doing wrong.
• They can’t troubleshoot for you and tell you how to fix a problem or how to maximize the effectiveness of your practice time.
• Videos will not assess your skill level and arrange the songs you want to learn in an order that will continually help you develop new skills and become a better musician.
• If all you have is a video or a book, you could be struggling for weeks to fix a musical phrase that just doesn’t sound right. But a skilled music instructor can diagnose the problem immediately and help you fix it on the spot! That´s why MusicInstructor.Net can often help students achieve in three months what otherwise would take them a year to learn on their own.

There are various signs that indicate an inclination for music. The most important is musical imagination. If you see anyone at any age frequently vocalizing on their own -- particularly singing original melodies or humming made up “action soundtracks” while playing a game -- that’s musical imagination in action. Singing drum beats or imitating the sound of instruments is also a great sign because this future artist is articulating musical “images” -- a skill which is critical to learning. Dancing, “grooving” to music, or playing ¨air¨ instruments in sync with a song are all indications of musical aptitude. Another strong sign is any interest in listening to instrumental music.

Absolutely not. In music, some start very young and others start in retirement. It makes no difference because it’s all about your enjoyment and personal satisfaction. If you are motivated to learn, call us. With the help of MusicInstructor.Net, you can be playing the music YOU want to play in a much shorter time than you can imagine.
