Preschool Music lessons

I'm often asked about teaching very young students, here's my thoughts on those lessons. I feel that for most preschoolers a classroom experience which is based on getting to know many instruments and sounds, exploring music by moving your body is a great introduction to formal music lessons. As the student becomes more adapt at rhythms and singing, they  also pick up some of the language of music.  Being in a group with friends makes the study of music more of a fun. 

That is not to say that it's for all students, as there are some children who will excel in private lessons, as long as the parent remembers that private lessons started so young will take many hours of parental help, and progress will be slow. The young student doesn't have the developed fine motor skills of an older student, nor the attention spans.
