Hi,


I'm thinking of letting my children learn piano. Purpose is to strengthen their ablity to focus, increase their self-confidence and also if any luck, they would love playing piano as a lifelong hobby.

However, they are 7 and 3 years old respectively, with no music background at all.

Is it too late to start my 7 year old? (if not, what kind of lesson is recommended?)
Is it too early to stary my 3 year old? (if not, what kind of lesson is recommended?)

Sorry if I've asked questions which have already been discussed in this forum long ago. I have gone through this forum from 2008 posts till now but still confused and have no idea what is better for my children.

Please anyone can advise?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Arelina,

7 years old is by no means too late to start, unless you plan your child to finish grade 8 by P6. I myself started as complete beginner at a very \"young\" age of 17 and still ended up as a professional, so really it's never too late to pick up an instrument.

3 year old is possible to start private lesson, but the primary considerations here will be if you are willing to sit down with your child during practices and finding a teacher who is familiar with teaching methodologies suitable for this age group.

There are various factors that may affect what kind of teacher will be suitable for your children. Perhaps you can provide more info by answering the following questions:
- Do you play the piano yourself to a decent level and willing to assist regularly in practice sessions? No I don't play the piano at all
- Are your children naturally competitive in academic studies? No, the 7 yr old is actually is quite active, he lacks concentration.
- Do you expect regular exams be taken and the results to be consistently excellent? Exams is good to be taken for recognition of their skill, but excellent results not required.
- Would you mind if your children don't play at the highest standard but love learning and playing, or do you place excellence above the interests? I just want them to love playing and enjoy it as a hobby.
- Do you want regular performance opportunities for your children?Yes, this will boost their self confidence too.

Thanks for help

Hi :rahrah:


Just to double confirm, Northoaks Pri will be using the former Sembawang Primary premise right?

:thankyou:

Yes... but the P1 registration is done at Endaevour Pri School.

Does anyone know if Northoaks Pri has school base student care service?
