I have read [this][1], [this][2], and [this][3]. 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?
