At what age should you start taking lessons on the piano to be good at it.?

Answer 1

The younger you are when you start, the better you will be. 'Good' however is an entirely subjective value judgement and has no concise meaning.

Answer 2

Had you started to learn to play the piano either formally or self-taught beginning around 9-10 years of age; you would be very fortunate in becoming a talented performer [assuming that you practice regularly]. On the other hand, with advanced age, say after 30, it becomes more difficult to pickup the physical placement of one's hands and developing a "natural" quickness of touch.

If you really "want too bad" to learn the piano, invest in a private piano instructor and bypass any self-taught strategies which may not provide enough feedback in how you perform with both hands.

In the meantime, should you achieve some success in learning to play the piano, you will be rewarded with being able to play any type of music just by reading the notes.

Good luck!

Answer 4

In piano learning the most important part is not an age, but the approach. Mozart was as young as 3 year old, but he had interactive way of learning and a great teacher ( his father). Every child beginning from 2 is capable to control each finger of right and left hand and to coordinate both hands. This is the youngest age for ANY beginner

Answer 6

You learn piano at any age..if you are specifically asking because you have kids, then around 7 is a good starting age.

Answer 7

I'm a piano teacher, and I've learned that it doesn't matter what age you start lessons at- you just have to have a really great teacher, be dedicated, and most importantly- you have to really love it!

Answer 8

I started at 7 - the trick is to practice

and here is a $10,000 lesson from my teacher who taught 20 years at Julliard

play your song (or section) 5 times slow - for every time at tempo - as soon as you make a misteak - STOP

and 5 more times slow - then - a tempo - until----

thought she was nuts - and then a Chopin piece fell into place!

She is the greatest!

best of luck!

Answer 9

Well here is a question that’s floored too, what are you people doing with your time?

Yes, it’s always good to start something when you’re a child because your ability is proven to be far more concentrated. You ability to absorb is so very higher.

To be good however, is based upon what? What standard?

By genetics alone, we should evolve to better at what life throws at us over millions of years, so what my friend, are you asking this question with regard to?
To what do you judge quote.. Being Good…?

Answer 10

i started at nine. and i turned out to be pretty good. it takes time. i guess in a sense you could get better at an earlier age if you start young, but i think nine was a good age to start.
