How young should someone be to take percussion lessons?
We like the young student to have some reading skills. Generally seven or eight year olds do well. There is study after study showing that learning a musical instrument increases one’s ability to read. According to the Center for Arts Education Research at Columbia University, students involved in high arts schools display more innovative approaches to solving problems, worked better with peers and teachers, and have higher self-concept in reading, math, and general academics.
