There isn't really any perfect age to start learning the Saxophone. It is just like learning any instrument it is better if you start as early as you can but you can never be too old. I would say the best age would be about eight years old but do not stress if you are older than that you can start at any time.

Many schools start their "full" music programs in 3rd grade, some as early as 2nd grade.

Hand size and finger coordination limit very young players. By age 6~7 kids can usually begin with a Clarinet, particularly if it is a smaller Eb (e-flat) sopranino clarinet - particularly if they have a real interest and aren't being pushed into it.

There is a "Kinder Clarinet" that uses a simplified key system for very young players. However, they're rather expensive, particularly given the short time before your young student would transition to a standard clarinet (and have to learn a new key layout)

There is a review of the Kinder Clarinet here: http://www.shwoodwind.co.uk/Reviews/Clarinets/kinderclarinet.htm

There is no minimum age that you have to be to play any musical instrument. You can play saxophone at whatever age you want.

It is never too late to start playing any instrument. Just remember that it typically takes about 10 years of diligent work to play at a professional level so you would be there at 24.

It does take a long time, depending on how good you want to become. Below is an article that can help you if you're interested, though you should get a teacher.

What is good? After a few years I thought I was pretty good. I could play most of what was put in front of me. Now after several decades, I'm not so sure. I still have a lot to learn.
