Is Summer a Good Time to Start Piano Lessons?
The school year is almost over and many parents are looking for new and exciting activities for their children. From my many years of experience I know that summer is an excellent time to start piano lessons since there is:
- no pressure of home work and tests
- no tight schedules with other activities
- more free time
Keeping all of the above in mind, you can see if your child is ready to commit to long term piano lessons and if the teacher is a good fit for your child before he/she gets fully involved with school and other activities in a fall.
Summer is great time for adults to start lessons as well. Some of my adult students who started lessons in the summer commented that it is a much less stressful time of the year for them. There are no major holidays in the summer, which can be sometimes quite hectic and distractive.
My own schedule usually is not as tight in the summer. So, there is more flexibility and availability for scheduling lessons.
Try it and decide for yourself!
