Children can start piano at the age of 5. This is the best instrument for any student to start because piano is the basic foundation of music. If you are skilled at the piano, it is a lot easier to pick up any other instrument. All music majors in college must have courses in piano before they can graduate.  Professionals highly recommend that all students begin their musical studies in piano.

It is never too late to learn piano! I am finding more and more adults enrolling everyday. This is usually for one of two reasons. Either they quit as a child and are full of regrets or they were never given the opportunity to play. Whether it is for relaxation, personal enjoyment, or for a specific purpose, learning an instrument is a rewarding experience for students of all ages. Don't give up too quickly either. It can be more difficult for adults to learn as with many other things, but the benefits will outweigh the obstacles you will overcome.

It is just fine for beginning piano students to start off on a keyboard. In the beginning, you would not be using all the keys, and children are generally too short to reach the pedals to start. As the student progresses, you would want to select a piano or full size keyboard, preferably with weighted keys. There is a different feel to the keys that you will want to address at a later date. Don't hesitate on taking piano lessons because of the cost of the instrument. There are ways to get around it and you can always find a used piano at a reasonable cost, or a rental keyboard at around $25 per month.

If you can't have a piano, don't feel bad about being stuck with a keyboard. Actually, depending upon the type of music you wish to play, an electric keyboard might be more versatile. A keyboard is portable and it can readily integrate well with other music gear.
