I often get asked what a good age is to start learning the guitar. My initial answer would be when the child shows interest.
On average, I would say that between the age of 8 and 10 is an early starting point. Playing the guitar takes a certain hand dexterity that tends to be difficult for children who are younger than that. However, I have taught younger children. It all depends on the child and how badly they want to play. Playing the guitar can also be a little painful at first. It requires pushing down hard on the strings and sometimes tiny fingers don’t like that. If the child is younger, I like to recommend a music exploration lesson that combines a little bit of guitar time with a little bit of piano, singing and/or drum.
