How Old Do You Need to Be?
The minimum recommended age for Guitar at Swar Kala Sangam is 7 years. Below this age, children's hands typically lack the finger span and strength required for comfortable guitar playing. For younger children interested in music, Piano, Vocal or Kathak are excellent starting points. Adults of any age are very welcome — many of our Guitar students started in their thirties and forties.
