Q: At what age should I start lessons?

A: (Piano) - It really depends on the student's ability to focus and motivation to practice!  In general around 6-9 years old is the ideal age range to start piano lessons, but I've had students as young as 5 and students older than myself. If you want to learn, any age is the perfect age to learn.
