You’re never too old to start and I guess you could say you're never too young to start but we used to teach three-year-olds and we were successful. But the problem is by the time I was finished teaching a three-year-old student I was totally exhausted! You know, because just to keep their attention [was difficult] so we raised the limit to five years old. So from five years old to any age there’s no limit. Even if you’re in your seventies, eighties, and you can hold that ukulele, take lessons because there's so much love and joy in playing the ukulele.

In contrast to the piano, the logic of the tonal structure in the ukulele is harder to understand and therefore often a challenge for very young students.
