Whether your child enjoys singing along with the radio or you’re looking to develop his or her musical skills, voice lessons are an excellent way to give them a music education. Before you sign them up for classes, the teachers at Suzuki Music School of Maryland in Columbia say it’s important to ensure they’re ready by calling the school to discuss their options based on age, musical experience, and interests. This premier music school offers private and group lessons for a wide variety of instruments and voice, as well as early childhood music education programs.  We also offer enrichment opportunity classes in music theory, music history and many other music topics of interest to families of all ages.  

While some parents may be thinking about enrolling their children in singing lessons at 3 or 4, there are more beneficial classes such as Early Childhood Music Education Programs which include singing which is more appropriate to this age group. Around age 5 many children are ready to start singing lessons.  However, real voice lessons can start around puberty which occurs at a different time for each child.

Boys and girls reach puberty at different ages and experience changes respective to their sex. If your son’s voice has deepened, he probably is at the right age to begin taking voice lessons. While a girl’s voice typically is higher than a boy’s, it will begin to sound less juvenile as they get older, and this change marks the time to begin serious instruction for a female singer.

If it’s time to sign your son or daughter up for voice lessons, enroll them at Suzuki Music School of Maryland in Columbia. Call (410) 964-1983 to speak with a representative of the school and visit their website to learn about their selection of music classes. Like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter for advice and updates from this respected institution.
