Learning objectives - Baritone horn
![](/sites/default/files/media-library/glaer_baritonhorn.png)
Students can start learning the baritone horn when they are physically able to play the instrument. It's most common for the study to begin at the age of 8 to 9 years. For such young students, it is preferable that the school provides instruments for use during lessons, as they might find it difficult to transport an instrument of this size.
