Q: What is the recommended age for starting an instrument?
A: There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question as people of all ages can learn a new instrument. However, it's generally recommended that children start learning an instrument at around 7 years old when they have developed enough fine motor skills to handle an instrument. Ultimately, the most important factor is the individual's interest and dedication to practice.
Q: What size instrument is best for beginners?
A: Depends on the instrument but the best way to know is to go out and try out the instruments. If you feel cramped while playing, the instrument may be too small and if you are needing to reach further than is comfortable then your instrument may be too large. Most instruments are available in small and large sizes to accommodate for any player's needs.
Q: Can I learn to play without taking lessons?
A: It is possible to learn an instrument on your own, however, taking lessons from a qualified instructor can increase your learning and help you progress in your playing exponentially. Instructors provide detailed instruction while keeping an organized approach to help you succeed and improve at the most optimal rate.
Additionally, your instructor will be equipped to relate what you learn in an easy to understand way and help you truly know your instrument instead of just knowing notes and chords. Private lessons also help you to maintain consistency and steady progress throughout your musical journey.
Q: Should I get an electric or an acoustic guitar?
A: Why not both?! Many guitarists are versed in playing both the acoustic and electric guitars. Our instructors have studied multiple genres on both the electric and acoustic guitars making them ready to help you learn all the music you absolutely love!
If you desire to focus on one instrument, focus on what you want to play or do? If you are looking to perform your favorite rock songs, the electric would be a great choice. If you are one that loves playing music around the campfire for a small audience, the acoustic may be the better choice. Depends on your preferences and the music you want to play.
