Wind instruments are mainly played by human vital capacity.

Therefore, it is better to start learning from the fourth and fifth grades of primary school.

At that time, the child's trachea and lungs were fully developed and his vital capacity was greatly increased, which is suitable for learning clarinet from now on.

Of course, woodwind instruments can be learned earlier than brass instruments.

Because woodwind instruments like clarinet are not very vital compared with brass instruments such as horn.

Age limit for enrolling in interest classes or children's palaces

Clarinet training institutions, such as local children's palaces, orchestras or other interest classes, also decide to enroll students according to their cognitive level and physical development level.

I study the horn and trombone of brass instruments. When I was in the fourth grade, Guangzhou Children's Palace, where I lived, personally came to my primary school to choose children suitable for learning brass instruments. At that time, I was the biggest in my class and had the largest lung capacity, so I was lucky (or unfortunate) to be assigned to a brass band.

Of course, after more than ten years, the situation is very different now, but I don't think the age limit for learning clarinet has changed much-because it mainly depends on the child's vital capacity level, physical development level and cognitive ability of the staff.
