I realize this is an old post, but can you tell me at what age they recommend starting lessons? A neighbor told me about the thames valley suzuki school that has a program for babies/toddlers that is an option, but wondered if I should just wait and do lessons when my son is old enough.
Thanks!

Here's what I went by. An old acquaintance told me she enrolled her girls when they were 4 and 5. She told me to wait a couple of years, that its better than. My DD started asking to play it when she was 7 and after asking us a few times, we went with her interest and set up lessons.
Now, at the weekly group lessons there are people of all ages; kids, young kids and adults and they all play together. I can't say enough about the program. Some of these little 4 year olds are really good. Honestly, I wish I would have started my DD then. Its so cute to watch them bowing.

Thanks Jasmin. May I ask where you do your lessons? I have no idea if my son will be interested and I have a little while yet before he is 4, but would like to start researching places. I thought I had heard that some people start at 3, but that does seem rather young. Guess it depends on the child.
