How Young is Too Young for Piano?

My First Piano Adventures

Several months ago, I attended a workshop for piano teachers and the topic was how to teach 5-year-old children the piano. Before the workshop, I had only had a little experience teaching kids that young and figured that maybe some people really love teaching 5-year-old kids, but it was not my “thing’”. But after the workshop, my mindset has totally changed. I have started a few 5-year-old kids with Faber’s My First Piano Adventure books and it has been a blast! The books move very slow (it takes 3 books to cover the material in the Primer level) and are full of fun songs and games. They even have an app with all the songs recorded (with kid voices) so the kids can sing along. So do I teach 5 year old kids? Yes! And we have lots of fun!
