I have read: - https://parenting.stackexchange.com/q/4797/4174 - https://parenting.stackexchange.com/q/452/4174 - https://parenting.stackexchange.com/q/805/4174 But I still don't have an answer. Are there any dangers associated with starting a child to play the piano at too early of an age? My daughter is 6 years old and some friends have told my wife that learning piano before age 7 can cause problems with the child's heart, somehow relating it to finger movement. I've searched elsewhere and have yet to find any reference of any health-related dangers. Are there any that I simply have not found yet?
