Taking piano lessons as an adult

(Los Angeles)

April 17

Hello, I never took piano lessons as a child. I've always been curious about the instrument but I never had the chance to learn how to play it. I know how to play the guitar a little bit, mostly pop songs. I am in my late 30s now and I really want to learn something new. I wonder if it would be too late to start learning to play the piano at my age. What are your thoughts?

Hello dear, I generally consider the age to be irrelevant to any learning process. I think the only thing that one needs, is the appetite and curiosity to learn. If you would like we could have a first lesson in my house in Neukölln and try out how it feels. Let me know

what is your name by the way?

Hello, I don't thin there's any age limitations really. I have recently started teaching an 85 year old lady and after a few months she can already play simple songs she likes.

Hello! It seems to me that it is always possible to start studying, especially if you like it! You have to take it as a game, it's the best way. Likewise, a lot of responsibility is necessary in the process, are you ready?

That is a trick question. I am also on my late 30s and I started dancing ballet. Will I ever go to perform in public? It will depend on how much I practice, but for sure I won't go to the Deutsche Oper Bühne. Maybe ballet is a bit more extreme because it's body demanding, but it's a good comparison to answer to that question. There are many factors that influence your learning process, but I would definitely encourage you to start the path and see how does it feel for you. Music is a very rewarding activity.

Never too late to start! Being flexible and realistic with your goals is very helpful. While "...to become a concert pianist" is a bad goal, it's not exactly flexible in regards to the result whereas "to be comfortable playing the piano in front of others" allows plenty of flexibility in both what you play as well as achieving your goals.

Hello. I think it's never too late to start learning again. I have taught plenty of adult beginners who were able to make real progress and feel confident playing piano.

Would you like to arrange a trial lesson with me some time to see how you like it?
