What is the easiest musical instrument to learn to play?

The Harmonica, Ukulele, Piano and Recorder are among the easiest musical instruments to learn to play.

What age should you start voice lessons?

Many parents ask for voice lessons for students as young as 3 or 4 years old, but formal vocal training is not usually successful or appropriate for students this young. It is best to begin voice lessons once the student's voice is more grounded and they have begun to go through puberty.

How long do singing lessons take to work?

This depends entirely on the amount of time a person is able to put into learning. In some cases singing can be learned in only a few months, but some people take 3 years or more to learn how to carry a tune. Learning the intricacies of singing like harmonizing with other vocalists or the skill of vibrato, can take longer.
