Am I Too Old To Learn Piano?

[@plind67]

I totally agree about the age excuse and thank you. I started playing the guitar when I retired at 64 and did very well. Unfortunately I have tremor and it has taken my ability to play at 71 to an end... my hands shake uncontrollably. Now at 75 I find that I can control my shaking hands to a degree to learn playing the Piano and happy to say I'm doing well and truly enjoy it although it is not easy. I'm determined to play as long as I can and find your teaching Piano on KZbin extremely beneficial. Again thank you.

Hi Paul! That's very unfortunate you can no longer play the guitar, but great news you can play the piano! It's great that you can put that limitation behind you and get on with it, most people in your situation probably wouldn't even try - so keep it up :) I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@debbymiller8828]

I am 64 years old and have been taking piano for 5 years. I love it!!!

[@Piano_Pig]

Nice! Keep it up! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

Juat because she's old doesn't mean her name is gladis. Rude.

[@PhilipDunn]

78, started 4 years ago. Go for it! Good digital pianos are cheap and hold value.

58 next month, short stubby fingers and no real musical ear. Never played an instrument. Now 3 weeks in, progressing, and loving it :) Thanks for the videos. #NotTooOld

I am 69 years old and have started to seriously to learn the keyboard and am finding these tutorials very useful indeed, please keep them coming.

[@Piano_Pig]

Good work! I'm happy to hear you've been enjoying the tutorials :) If you want a load more lessons and a ton of other useful stuff then feel free to check out the PianoPig Academy: goo.gl/tyYDcE

I am 41 and I am learning to play the piano. PianoPig's tutorials have been very helpful and I am very thankful. I think that as average age of western world population gets higher (older people) it will become more common to see mature adults learning the piano.

[@Piano_Pig]

That's great to hear you have been enjoying the lessons! You're certainly right there, a huge amount of mature adults are learning the piano - and that's great to see! The more the merrier :) Thanks for the positive feedback!

And here I am, a 17 year old kid saying that I'm too old to learn the piano 😬

[@Piano_Pig]

Haha not a chance! Get learning right now :)

[@frankiefrankie9973]

Thanks! I started a few days ago :) am 43 now.

[@Piano_Pig]

Awesome! Good luck with your journey :)

Same here

[@MortemVetus]

Thank you so much. I'm younger than several of the other commentators here (a mere pup of 47), but unfortunately, I have Multiple Sclerosis, which among other thing involves muscle spams and a loss of movement in my legs....no pedals for me. So I'm using a synth on the computer, and thanks to all these wonderful lessons, I'm actually starting to see progress. So thank you, thank you, thank you. Primarily, I just want to create a little music for my own enjoyment, but if it goes well, then I'd like to be able to add a some to 3d digital animations that I make together with my wife, and it's now looking (sounding possible) possible.

[@Piano_Pig]

It's my pleasure Mortem, so glad to hear you have been improving! That's so great you have the motivation to keep on learning with a disadvantage like that, awesome! Keep up the good work :)

[@076657]

Bla bla bla excuses excuses excuses. Just practice dude, didn't you hear the guy in the video?

[@michellelawrence2574]

Thank you for sharing this. I so needed this!

[@PianoMatronNeeNee]

Agreed!

[@MarieAi]

i am 24 wants to learn piano :D will practice everyday.

[@GarryBurgess]

I thought that I was never too old, but then the age police came to my house, arrested me and confiscated my piano. My sentence was to never touch another piano key ever again, and 2 years of community service.

[@076657]

And you didn't have to deal with the Jazz Police.

[@lindacoled1629]

Mmmmmmm getting very tempted to join the pig 🐷!!!

[@premasru]

[@Piano_Pig]

[@scootin123]
