| May 8, 2018 at 19:13 | comment | added | gnasher729 | No problem as long as you get a teacher who understands that they are teaching children and knows what they are doing. Adults will understand that practice, practice, practice will make them better, children will tend to find it boring. A four year old I would be worried because piano keys are heavy for a four year old, so this might be hard work. Michael says it's fine starting at 6. An eight year old will be fine physically. | |

| May 15, 2014 at 4:22 | comment | added | Michael | I started Piano at age 6. At age 40 I ran a marathon in 3:06. Heart seems ok still :). It would only be bad for the heart to never get out and be physically active. I assume your child is not spending hours at the piano, 15min/day sounds right from what I remember. | |

| May 13, 2014 at 15:56 | comment | added | Doc | Sounds like BS. Old wive's tale perhaps? The only "dangers" I can think of are 1) Immaturity causing the learning process to be slower/more difficult and 2) more likely to "burn out" and lose interest sooner (especially if it's forced and the child doesn't want to do it). | |

Using bare URLs to questions on the site uses the question as link text, much better than "this"
