Learning Piano can be incredibly beneficial to your life in so many ways. When one studies music, you begin to open up doors to your creativity and a new side to yourself. (See: The Importance of Music in Your Life) Many scientific studies have proven that music has incredible effects on our mood and ability to learn.
Most importantly, Music can be learned at any age. I have met plenty of people who started learning an instrument at age 40 and found it to be a wonderful exploration of a whole new side of themselves. In fact, I started playing piano at age 18, unlike many of my friends who started at age 5.
I believe its good to meet with some instructors to get opinions on how to approach learning the piano. Talk to other musicians and find out ways to learn piano as efficiently as possible. If you have any questions: Contact me.
