Hi, I’m new here, recently i enrolled my son to Aureus Academy. Have anyone send their child there for lessons before?


My son is 3 years old and turning 4 years old in April. Is it too young for him to start learning piano?

You haven't started lessons there yet?

I sent him for the trial class last saturday and sign him up for the piano class. I am a bit clueless if it is too young for him to start learning a musical instrument although the teacher did said he can start learning piano.

It's quite rare to find a 3/4 year olds who can start one-to-one lessons. My take-up rate for this age group is very low and I have advised many parents of children whom I assessed to start the kids in appreciation classes instead first.

What I'm looking for and assess before considering to teach a 3/4 year old kid:

1. Can sit still and concentrate for at least half an hour?
2. Can clap in time, sing reasonably in tune?
3. Can tell if the note played on the piano is higher or lower from previous one?
4. Can identify mistakes in simple songs like Twinkle Little Star?
5. Can tell apart the difference between a step and a skip on the score?
6. Can understand basic instructions e.g. sing just the first sentence of Twinkle Little Star?
