Hello Everyone!
I think that the disposition and enthusiasm, or lack thereof, is more important than a specific age. I started playing when I was 6, but with no private instruction and no music program it was a frustrating on/off thing for many years until I got to a school with a music program. Three friends of mine, triplets as a side note, didn't start until much later than most kids; I believe they were 10 or 11 and now they are on their way to the type of professional career that most of us just dream of! If the kid is excited about the horn by all means encourage them!

Have a Great Day,
Dan
