[quote=Anonymous]I started my son on piano when he was 8. I had started at 6, but his fine motor skills weren't great. He's really enjoyed it and is pretty good. I don't know if he's learning faster than I did because of the methodology (different than how I learned) or he's just better at it. But for him it was a good time to start. He picked up clarinet at school this year (age 9) and enjoys that more. So he will finish this year out on piano and focus more on clarinet next year. FWIW he goes to Gaithersburg Academy of Fine Arts in a group piano class. And it's very age appropriate and fun. If you can a class like that, it's generally cheaper than private lessons, and a good way to gauge interest. Also, we have a digital piano. It's been perfect for him. I won't invest in a real one unless he becomes a mini Beethoven, and he's not. ;) I'm very happy playing on a digital piano for my own enjoyment. [/quote]
