You may have a child that is desperate to start learning the acoustic guitar, but what age should they start. This is like asking the question "How long is a piece of string?" You must take into account some very basic questions.
First, is your child big enough to hold an acoustic guitar comfortably? The smallest real guitar that you can buy is a ¼ size guitar. This guitar is designed for kids between the ages of 4-6 years old whose height is between 3ft 3inches - 3ft 9inches.
The next size guitar is a half size for kids between the ages of 5-8 years old and whose height is 3ft 10inches- 4ft 5inches. The ¾ size guitar is designed for children 4ft 6inches- 4ft 11inches and the full size guitar is for children 5ft and over.
Once you have established the size of the acoustic guitar that you need the next questions to ask is "Are their fingers strong enough for them to be able hold down the strings of the guitar."
This is a very important point, just because they can hold a guitar doesn't mean that their fingers will be strong enough too able to play it.
I would also like to point out that when buying an acoustic guitar, make sure the guitar has nylon strings.
Why you may be asking? This is because nylon guitar strings will be much kinder to soft finger.
Metal guitar strings are very hard and after a few hours of practising their fingers could become very tender.
And last but not least do you think they are old enough to sit down and practice, will they really have the commitment and how long will their enthusiasm last.
If you can answer yes to all these questions then your child will be ready. If on the other hand you have the smallest doubt, then I would wait a couple of months and review the situation.
If your child is not ready wait and save yourself some money. If you rush them into it to early they will not enjoy it and you will only find yourself stress and your child will be unhappy.Take your time, when the time is right you will have more fun and less heartache, and you will not have wasted your hard earned cash.
Good luck I hope this has helped.
I work full time and have a teenage daughter who wanted to an acoustic guitar to learn to play. Because of the problems we had I decided to set up a site to help other parents, so they don't make the same mistakes as I did.
