Quick – sign your kid up for music lessons! The best age to start playing...

There’s more evidence supporting the theory that musical kids grow up to be smarter...

New research found that starting music classes at age seven speeds up the development of motor skills. Anywhere between the age of six and eight is the best time to pick up an instrument and start playing. 

If you’d like your child to have an even greater advantage, start practicing sooner. Children who take music lessons before the age of seven tend to mature the sensory regions of the brain faster.
