My child is only 5 years old & wants to learn flute. Can he/she learn?
While most beginner students start around 6th grade (11 years old), willing younger students can learn as well. However, for smaller children, you would definitely want to look at the Prodigy flute by Jupiter, which is sized down considerably. Slightly older children younger than 11 can play on full size flutes, but it is recommended to get a flute that has a curved & a straight headjoint & play on the curved headjoint until the child’s arms are long enough to reach with the straight headjoint. It is my personal recommendation for very young children to start on piano to develop good basic music skills, & then start the flute a few years later (ie, 8-10 years old).
