From what I've seen that may be a bit on the young side, but don't think I am saying no. I've seen kids as young as 4 learn. But those can be attributed to several factors.... great and patient instructor, parent involvement, attention span of the child, maturity level, and a boatload of natural talent on the kids part. So please don't think I saying no. Just play it by ear. But I can give one huge piece of advice from personal experience. You need to make sure that it's what the child wants to do, not that they are doing it because they think it's what you want them to do. Trust me, I know this from personal experience.
