I believe this is also a question that many parents want to ask. What I want to explain here is that the early education of children's music and instrumental music learning are two different things. In early music education, educators introduced music into singing, language, movement and instrumental performance in the form of games, even when children were 3 months old. But please note that the instrumental music here refers to some small percussion instruments, the most complicated of which is xylophone. Instead of what we usually call some playing instruments. Let's take a look at the development of musical ability of children aged 3-4:} They can distinguish between happy and sad emotions, rhythm, pitch and melody} In most cases, they can distinguish between major and minor, but they are not accurate} It is still difficult to roughly distinguish between fast and slow} It is still difficult to play rhythm} It is more difficult to play than to imitate} In most cases, they can sing a complete song} In most cases, they can't sing an accurate pitch} They have no sense of mode and tonality. The exercise of big muscles is easier to master the teaching of any subject than the exercise of small muscles, and it should follow the laws of students' physiological and psychological development. Education beyond their ability is mostly to encourage them. Many parents believe that the sooner children are trained to play the piano, the better. And experts think this is a misunderstanding. Because children under 5 years old have loose joints, ligaments and joints, it is easy to damage these tissues when they start practicing the piano with greater intensity. If you practice for too long or exert too much force, you may also damage the epiphysis, which will lead to changes in the length and thickness of your fingers. Moreover, with your age, your finger defects will become more and more obvious, and in severe cases, you may also make a fist. In Germany, generally speaking, children aged 3 to 5 will attend an early music education course, which is based on feeling, knowing some simple rhythms and tones, or expressing rhythms and music with their bodies. In this process, children's interest and sensibility in music can be stimulated, and parents can also judge their musical talents and musical preferences, and then choose whether to learn some instrumental music and what kind of instrumental music to learn, usually starting from the age of 6. In addition, if it is just as a hobby, it is ok to start at any time after the age of 6, even after adulthood. If you want to take a career path, it is more appropriate to be around 5 years old. Of course, it does not rule out that individual children are particularly talented, such as Mozart, who can play the violin on the stage at the age of five, but a Mozart has been out for hundreds of years.
