My little girl is 4 years old.
For awhile now I have been toying with the idea of getting her piano lessons. I would like to give her the opportunity to express herself musically if she is that way inclined and there are many times in my life I had wished I had learned to play. I am looking for comments from anyone who has been there and done this before, either themselves or for their kids.
Is 4 to young? Yeah I suppose it depends on the child but in general would it be suggested I wait a couple of years? She has shown good concentration.
Also she will need something to practice on. I considered the cheaper way out with an electronic keyboard but I don't want her distracted with special effects that would change her approach.
I have asked her if she wanted to learn piano and she said yes but this really means nothing. If I asked her if she wanted to be a clown when she grows up the reply would have been just as enthusiastic.
I have the budget for a piano so this is not really an issue but obviously I don't want to spend this type of money and have it go to waste. At the same time I would like to encourage any natural ability she might have.
Right now she is sitting beside me singing to Pink Houses by J.Couger.
