A Guide To Suitable Musical Instruments For Children
It is good practice to introduce your child to as many new experiences as possible when they are young, this includes music. Most music teachers agree that it is not a good idea to expose children to formal music lessons too early because that is a sure way to put them off music. We recommend avoiding lessons before the age of eight, unless they show a real interest in childrens musical instruments before then. Let them hear a variety of different styles of music and genres. Take them to live music experiences as often as you can.
In order to learn to play a musical instrument properly they will need to be able to recognise numbers and letters up to G. They should also be developmentally ready as well, both physically and emotionally. For example, children should wait until their second set of front teeth are fully grown before picking up the trumpet or cornet.
The recorder is a very popular childrens musical instrument, and is a good introduction to other wind instruments as a child grows. The recorder can also be played to a high standard and can sound good when played solo and a part of a group. A child can play a recorder early, as soon as his or her fingers are big enough to cover the holes.
For other wind and brass instruments, the child needs to be big enough to hold and blow them. Strong lips and being able to produce a good “puff” is crucial. These instruments do not usually come in smaller equivalents, and when they do (the piccolo or soprano saxophone, for example), they require a higher degree of skill, so they are not good choices for young children. As children mature they usually progress onto more complex instruments.
The piano can be played as soon as a child can reach the keys and have enough strength to press them down. Some children can handle a violin as early as age four, but most start the violin when they are six. Stringed instruments often come in smaller sizes, so children can start playing them at a young age. A number of stringed instruments can be 1/8 of the size of full sized instruments. The majority of guitars, for example, are available in smaller sizes and are suited for children aged eight and above.
Sometimes children and their parents forget that the singing voice is the perfect musical instrument. Children should be prompted to sing from a young age and have self-confidence in their own ability. Singing is a thing which all children can be concerned with and is a terrific group activity for school music sessions.
