Would this work for a large second grader to learn on?

I believe so. My daughter is in 7th grade and learning to play the clarinet. So far she loves it and this particular set comes with everythg you need.

I seriously doubt it. My daughter's in 5th and she could never get a consistent sound out of it. She got dizzy and light headed everytime she used it. I asked her music teacher about it and she said that it's that particular brand that doesn't blow well. I wouldn't recommend you buy any instrument from Mendini. Hope this helps.

Most band teachers don't like it however my daughter lives hers. It's a good starter instrument. As the years goes by, you will need to upgrade to something better. My daughter is in the 8th grade and has had this particular clarinet for over a year. I know that when she go to high school, I'll have to get her a much better and expensive one.

Don't waste your money. My child's band teacher told me these clarinets are crap. My daughter could barely play one note on this thing. They are made very cheap and tend to break. You're better off going to a music store and buying a quality used clarinet.

I think it would. I got it for our 2 year old twins but my 4 1/2 year old niece comes over and can use it as well.

Yes. It definitely is designed for around 2 years old. For a 1 year old it's too big and a little bit complicated for them to understand in my opinion.

It will be fine. We got it for a 7 year old. Just keep in mind that attention span for lessons starts at about 7-8 years for guitar, piano and othe technical instruments. But introducing the instruments younger is a smart idea.

Possibly. My very bright 12-year-old granddaughter had the little critter running around the house on Christmas day last year with only about 10 minutes of input from me--otherwise she just read and followed the manual. So I guess it depends on the child's reading level and the giver's availability for some help.

I believe so. My 10 yr old son is a beginner and just starting lessons, but I wanted to give him something he can grow with.

I bought it for my daughter's 2nd grade teacher because every other model she tried quickly died, unable to handle the fatties or the coated pencils. She knows to return it to me if there are any signs of failure so I can return it and she has not said anything so far. I'll ask for an update specifically tomorrow afternoon and report back. (if I remember, maybe ask me again if I forget :-)

Absolutely!! The design, goals and rules are easy to understand, teach and follow. Not only will the 2nd and 4th grader have fun, the parents will as well.

For my classroom purposes, it's fine. My warnings, however, are that the board may be too high up for a three year old. Also, the surface of the board is a bit delicate. Get water, juice, even the oils from your fingers on it, and you will have problems getting it completely clean. I guess my answer is "Look elsewhere".

It is full size, so I suppose that depends on what you'd like him to learn on first. My 8 year old plays on my banjo at times and she just sits down first and that seems to help a lot.

I think itwould big enough ... then again it probably will depend on the specific activity ... but kids have to learn to adjust and share space in my opinion... my 2 cents... good luck

I would say a little yes but I buy more advanced toys for my kids and they usually catch up with them. Also it will help them learn the alphabet too.

I am sure it would. If I were you I would start at Level 3 or 4 as 1 & 2 are fairly basic. There is not a lot of grammar - what is there you learn by speaking, but that is the way most of us learned grammar anyway.

We actually bought it for our two year old grandson. Yes, I think your child would enjoy it now and as he grows older. Enjoy watching him learn important tool safety, building even a little item, and the feeling of accomplishment!

Mmm i think not... :( because it's more useful for kids who are learning writing and reading... more for less children from 5-9 years old...

I would say yes. We bought this desk for our son who was in kindergarten at the time. It fit it perfectly at that point. He is now in first grade and the desk is almost too low/small for him. I would suggest a step larger for a 2nd grader. Our son is also small for his age so this desk may not even work for some first graders.

It would depend on the child. If the child likes creating things then yes it would. This was bought for a 3 year old but the older siblings ( 8 & 10) enjoy playing with it. I would rate it pre-school to year 3.
