Is this piano too small for an 8 year old?

It was the perfect height for my three year old. I would imagine that an eight year old would have a really hard time sitting at it.

This piano is probably too small for an 8 year old, but it has so many features that it might be alright for an 8 year old, especially if that child loves music. (Might have to sit on the floor to play it) I brought this for a 2 year old, who was really too young for this type piano because he has yet to comprehend all the feature that this piano has but he will grow into it.C

I think he may be a little young. I bought if for my girls who are 6 and 7 they seem to be a good size for it. There are drum sets that are a bit smaller( Jr sets) they may fit him a little better.

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.

The best answer is "PERHAPS." It is a nice playing miniature guitar with good intonation and good sound (for its size). But the body might be too small to feel like he's playing a guitar. The body is the right size/scale for my 2-year old (although two is too young to learn how to play). A small body classical guitar could be another option for a six year old. But the look, sound, feel and quality of this tiny Gretsch is as good as one could wish for. So if your six year old likes the look of a ukelele, then this is the one for you.

I think it is geared more towards smaller kids but I think 6/7 year olds will still enjoy them if they like music at all. Symbals rarely get old, tamborines are always fun. With the low price on the set I think it would be worth the risk.

My kid is 7 months and he enjoys it. As long as they can keep their head up you should be fine. Mine loves to kick so the piano buttons on the bottom is great.

Yes. The stool is a little short for my 8 & 10 year grandsons, but they enjoy playing the drums. They play piano and the drums were an extension of their music lessons.

No it is very small. My 2 and 3 year olds play with it. You will need something larger.

Yes, too small. My four-year old loves this, but needs help putting things together.

It is very small. I'd definitely get something a little bigger. Was perfect size for my 8 year old boy.

It would be perfect for an 8 year old. Four is about as young as I would start if you wanted the child to work it herself. The adults hve enjoyed it also. I would buy this again and it has held up really well. Hope this helps.

Mine came with a wonderful adjustable bench. I am a very short person only 5 foot 1 inch and it adjusted fine for me and would go some higher for a very young student. You will like this piano if that it what you are looking for a student. It is not perfect, but for the money it is a real bargain. Sounds are not perfect, but they are good enough for me. I am a old piano teacher and a graduate, BA in Music Education. I love to use it and show it off. There are higher ones out, but for the money ,this is the best buy. If you aren't expecting it to sound like the real instruments. I say again, it is close enough for me. I enjoy playing it. Hope this helps you. Mine came with a wonderful adjustable bench.

Nope. Just the piano. But the keys are at an adequate height to where my son just sits crossed leg or kneels down an he's at perfect height. (He's 2 by the way) Guess it also helps to have on carpet.

I think its more for ages 12 and up because of its advanced features. What I mean is that you could make serious music tracks with this keyboard. If this was a monophonic keyboard than yes it would be for a 4 year old. The keyboard is polyphonic and has many of the same features as a keyboard played by professionals or even church keyboard players. Then again, like someone else answered... it depends on how serious the child might be about music. Overall, this keyboard doesn't have to be a toy unless you want it to be!

We bought this for our two year old but our eight year old plays with it sometimes. It's is short, but if she interested in playing with it, it might be good for her. I think she may grow out of it quickly just because of the size.

It completely depends on what she wants to do with it. To me, there are not enough keys to make it any sort of adequate substitute for a full piano, using two hands. It's generally intended to be slung around the shoulder and played with the right hand only. It's not self amplified, so it needs to be connected to some sort of powered speaker, unless you use it exclusively with headphones. That being said, I think the sounds and the physical keyboard touch are nice. If it were me, I might look for something like a Yamaha YPG 235 instead. More keys, self amplified, meant to be played with two hands, many sounds, accompaniment features. My own opinion only!

Nancy, my grand child is only a year Old. I bought it in hopes of her enjoying Music time and eventually learning piano. I can teach her since I know how to play myself. But it's just for her entertainment!
