Hello steemians friend..thisvtime l want to share about What is the ideal age for children to learn music?..
Music is believed to bring a myriad of benefits. Many parents start introducing their children to music from an early age, even facilitating them with music courses.
Then, what is the ideal age for children to learn music?
Famous musician and composer Erwin Gutawa said, there was no definite age for children to learn music. Learning music according to him needs to be done as early as possible, but there are many determinants.
"As early as possible, but depending on the device, motorbike,".
There are several musical instruments that children can play from an early age. For example, drums, musical instruments that can stimulate the child's motor nerves in almost all parts of the body.
Children also tend to think of drums like toys. However, usually children tend to learn the instrument first, not yet entered the notation.
"Like a drum. We know harmony, notation later. Little kids are fast (learning drums). Because it's like a toy," he said.
In my opinion, children generally learn to play music at the age of 5 years. Even though age is limited to musical instruments.
Some musical instruments are not easily accessible to children because of the size or weight of the instrument. Erwin gave an example of a guitar or bass instrument, which is quite difficult to carry by children under 5 years.
"But there are people who play 3-year violins because the equipment is light. So it depends. But that's an average of 5 years," said the man born on May 16, 1962.
One of the media that children can use to stimulate their talent in music is through music school.
From the music school he formed, Erwin had many hopes. One of them is looking for young talents from school.
It provides a wide selection of musical instruments. He believes, children have wide opportunities to study in music schools.
"For vocals, it can be made for children's quartets, for example. This can be a band, a jazz trio, for example. It will be very possible. Not just an ensemble, many ideas that we can develop,"
