Am I too old for music lessons?

I want to play piano. Always have. That urge never died. I think I'm gonna buy a keyboard for Christmas. Maybe i get a good deal on it

I teach piano lessons and a couple of my students are older adults. It鈥檚 never too late to learn and enjoy the beauty of music 馃幎

you are never too old to take lessons

Nah. I'd also just find a few songs you really like and start figuring them out and practicing. You'll pick up skills and muscle memory while you're doing it and enjoy it. Do that with some practice exercises.

That's what I did for guitar and I never had one lesson and i'm pretty good tbh.

Never!....there's so many videos and instruction(s) out there on-line,
you can even buy keyboards that will light up the appropriate notes!
GO FOR IT! CREATE!

Age is never a factor to learn something. It's all the boundaries made by us.

If you have the passion to learn then you can pursue it at any age.

Never too old, but I'd do it sooner rather than later. A colleague at work (who is a lot older than you) tried and gave up because he said he'd never master using both his hands in different ways at the same time. I've played all my life so never think twice about it, but I think he's right. Good luck with it. It's really, really rewarding. Probably more than anything else in my life.

@GlassDog so one can't learn two hands if they are older馃
GlassDog41-45, M
@iamnikki I'm pretty sure people can. Just that one person in my life found it difficult. We think it's a bit like patting your head with one hand and making a circular motion on your stomach with the other hand. The brain doesn't naturally work that way.
iamnikki31-35, F
@GlassDog well I can do that. Just cant play both hands simultaneously, unless one hand is playing whole notes.

It鈥檚 easier to retain as a kid, but you are never too old to learn:)
iamnikki31-35, F
@Caprice yea, i can already read music though. Was in band for 6 years
