What age is appropriate to begin taking harp lessons?
My beginning students have ranged in age from as young as 5 years old to retired adults. I have no set specific age for young students to begin taking harp lessons, but there are some important factors I consider. The student must be able to properly sit behind their harp and comfortably reach the strings, their hands must be large enough to reach intervals of at least a 6th between the thumb and ring finger, and they must have a reasonable attention span for their age as well as good concentration abilities.
