How Do You Know If Your Child Is Ready for Piano Lessons?

It’s one of the most common questions parents ask: how do you know if your child is truly ready to start piano? In this video, Vivia Taylor, founder and director of The Vivia Taylor Music Program, shares five signs parents can look for at home.

The signs go beyond age. Vivia points to real, observable behaviors: does your child gravitate toward the keyboard on their own? Can they recognize and trace the letters A through G and the numbers 1 through 5 — the building blocks of the musical alphabet and finger technique? Can they sit and focus for 20 to 25 minutes, follow spoken directions, and coordinate their left and right hands independently?

She also shares a bonus sixth sign that often matters more than any checklist: genuine excitement to learn.

Watch the full video above for all the details, straight from Vivia’s years of experience teaching beginners.
