Some teachers actually let the students skip too much so that they can charge higher since the fees for higher grades are higher.

So far so good. I'm reaching level 2. Hopefully I can reach grade 1 as soon as possible. can't wait to play all those pieces

Actually i was in a similar situation like you, left piano lessons when i was 6 years old and picked it up again when i was 25 years. Well, besides starting all over again, if the passion is there, you can pick up faster. I also forced myself to sign up at Yamaha music school & i enrolled for keyboard this time since it's about the same. Got myself a mid range arranger series since i know i won't just leave it half way (passion). Many told me to get the basic PSR series models but luckily i did not.

I agree with the keyboard feel being too light but you can aim for Clavinova series. I love the feel and sounds of it. My next aim

Passion is really important. It gives you the drive and determination to succeed in whatever you endeavour.

I've been playing keyboard since Darjah 5 until now (25 y.o.). I can play many songs by hearing but when it comes to reading music I'm absolutely clueless. Therefore I decided to enrol in Yamaha Music School and am taking piano classes now.

My passion is classical music. Its just too bad that I need proper technique to be able to play my favourite pieces so I guess I made the right decision by taking proper classes. Currently still in grade 1/kindergarten, but aiming to become a part-time concert pianist. LOL.

My youtube channel is youtube.com/abafamny90 . Try have a listen.

TS is still relatively young. I hope TS wont stop learning and continue even after school years. Goodluck!

It can never be too late to learn an instrument!
