Hi, relative newbie here so unsure if posting in the right place!!
It’s not so much a ‘aibu’ but more of a would you?!
Anyway, my child is 6 and very very much into music, he will sit and listen to his favourite musicians for ages! He has quite an ‘old’ taste in music for his age!
He has put on his Christmas list that he would like a real guitar and that he would like to learn to play. He specifically says he doesn’t want a ‘toy’ one.
He’s 6 though. What are the chances that at his age he has the skills to be able to learn to play, will he find it boring, give up after a month etc etc. I don’t want to fork out for one only to find he’s not bothered about it in the near future but it’s one of the only things barring Lego that’s he’s asked for!
Do we get him lessons? Do they even do lessons for young children.
Does anyone have any experiences with music lessons for this age group or should I make him wait til he is a bit older?!
Obviously I want to encourage it as I think it’s great that he wants to take up an hobby but I just feel perhaps it is slightly young!
Thanks
