29. Play first - lessons later!

This week, we expand on the idea put forth eloquently by the master painter, Pablo Picasso: “Every child is an artist - the problem is how to remain an artist when he grows up.”

Who said you have to be formally trained to enjoy playing with art materials, exploring instruments, or moving creatively? At Sunflower Creative Arts, we recommend waiting until age 7 to begin considering formal art or music lessons for children.

Susan talks about how she discovered the flute very early in life, but had to wait until high school to pick up formal lessons. Lindsey shares her contrasting experiences of learning piano and guitar.
