Nowadays, most parents pay close attention to their children's extracurricular interests, some let their babies learn piano, some let their babies learn art, and some let their babies learn music. However, cultivating children's interests and hobbies is not always better the earlier. So, at what age is it better for babies to start learning piano?
Baby learning piano first requires two conditions: first, the baby's fingers have enough strength to press the piano keys, and second, the baby has a certain understanding of the melody. Babies generally cannot meet these two conditions before the age of three, so they should learn piano as early as 4-5 years old.
When teaching a baby piano, there are several aspects to pay attention to:
One is to cultivate the baby's interest in learning. Many parents who encourage their children to learn piano are actually following the trend. They are not willing to fall behind when they see other children learning piano, and they also encourage their own children to learn piano. If the child does not have such interests and hobbies, cramming the baby to learn piano will not only have a mediocre effect, but may also cause the child's rebellious psychology.
The second is to practice in moderation. When a baby is young, it is not advisable to sit in front of the piano for a long time, as this can affect the development of the baby's spine. Moreover, when practicing playing the piano, the baby's fingers are also quite laborious, which can easily cause excessive fatigue over time. So it's important for babies to practice playing the piano in moderation, and it's best not to practice for more than an hour every day.
