When is the best time to start learning music?

A musician is one of those professions in which, in order to achieve success, it is necessary to begin training in childhood. Almost all famous musicians began their studies for another 5-6 years. The thing is that in early childhood the child is most susceptible. He just absorbs everything like a sponge. In addition, children are more emotional than adults. Therefore, the language of music is closer and more understandable for them.

We can confidently say that every child who starts training in early childhood will be able to become a professional. An ear for music can be developed. Of course, in order to become a famous choir soloist, you will need special abilities. But everyone can learn to sing competently and beautifully.

Getting a music education is hard work. In order to achieve success, you need to study several hours a day. Not every child has enough patience and perseverance. It’s so difficult to play scales at home while your friends invite you outside to play football.

Many famous musicians who wrote masterpieces also had great difficulty understanding the science of music. Here are the stories of some of them.

Niccolo Paganini

This great violinist was born into a poor family. His first teacher was his father, Antonio. He was a talented man, but if history is to be believed, he did not love his son. One day he heard his son playing the mandolin. The thought flashed through his mind that his child was truly talented. And he decided to make his son a violinist. Antonio hoped that in this way they would be able to escape poverty. Antonio’s desire was also fueled by the dream of his wife, who said that she saw how her son became a famous violinist. Little Nicollo’s training was quite tough. The father beat him on the hands, locked him in a closet and deprived him of food until the child achieved success in some exercise. Sometimes, in a rage, he would wake the child at night and force him to play the violin for hours. Despite the severity of his training, Nicollo did not hate the violin and music. Apparently because he had some kind of magical gift for music. And it is possible that the situation was saved by Niccolo’s teachers – D. Servetto and F. Piecco – whom the father invited a little later, because he realized that he could not teach his son anything more.
