Question 1

Is 6 to 8 too young to start an instrument?

Accepted Answer

No, provided the steps are small enough. Children this age have the coordination for simplified beginner parts but limited patience for drills, which is why Band In 60 breaks each part into short video segments a child can pause and rewatch until it clicks.

Question 2

Which instrument is best for a 6 to 8 year old?

Accepted Answer

Keyboard and drums tend to click fastest at this age because the first sound requires no hand-shaping. Guitar and bass work well with a smaller-bodied instrument. Band In 60 teaches all four across the same song, so a child can try more than one and settle on a favorite.

Question 3

How long can a child this age practice at once?

Accepted Answer

Ten to fifteen minutes of focused work is realistic, and a 60-minute adventure is usually best split across two or three sittings at this age. Because the video is self-paced, stopping and picking up later costs nothing.
