what age do kids start losing teeth youngest age to start learning

I was recently contacted regarding teaching trumpet to a couple of 5 year old twins. My youngest student prior to that was 8. He's progressing nicely. I told the parents that 5 years old is probably too young but they wanted to pay if I was willing to be patient. These lessons are like no other, as their attention span bounces violently from playing on the mouthpiece to eating noodles to demonstrations of gymnastics. Believe it or not, after I split them up and had them taking turns in 15 minute intervals, I had one of these kids actually playing a nice whole note C, resting for 4 beats and repeating a few times. Are their any trumpet playing parents of 5 year olds who can give me some advice about this situation? Is time and money being wasted here? The other problem I see is that both are going to be losing teeth soon which will negate everything I've managed to teach them. Any comments will be seriously considered. Martinis after the lessons help.

I had a similar experience trying to teach my 6 year old grandson....I don't think that his changes in embouchure will have anything to do with the learning process....Just developing their musical ear at that age is what's important. I got my grandson to play the five notes from C to G inclusive. I was working on getting him to play a simple melody using them, but we live a state apart, and my wife and I had to leave. I had a cornet, so he could reach the valves while his lips were still on the mouthpiece. I don't think any age is too young, if you've got the patience for it.....IOW, YOUR age is more important than their age......Keep up the good work......

I think that before this you are going to get problems with loss of teeth and physical size (possibly mitigated by starting on cornet rather than trumpet).
