i am 28 this year,i always wanted to learn piano last time but due to financial problem so i give up the dream of learning.

now i'm a working adult,no need to work on weekend,plus i have spend too much of time on gaming and felt like wasting my time.

so is it ok like my age now to start to learn piano or maybe guitar?

thanks for the advice in advance wink.gif

It is never too to learn anything. But to be very good at it, you'll gonna need talent and practice..

I got a church member who learn how to play guitar from me at the age of 25... Now he is better than me coz he practiced alot sweat.gif

to control 10 fingers u need dexterity , which mean u 10 fingers "live" at it own.
Watch/listen Yanni live performance to boost u. He my favorite pianist.

You should really give it a try, if you are very interested with it. After some time learning, you might find yourself maybe you dont like it that much. Hence, dont buy an expensive keyboard or piano to start with. smile.gif

Started when i was 5-6 years old but gave up. Interest came back when i was 18-19 years but i procrastinated till around 26 years where i forced myself to get the keyboard. It's a new journey from there till today biggrin.gif

My hubby gave me a digital piano as wedding gift when I was 32. I never played one in my entire life before and I didn't know that I'm already interested in it. Took me only few months to be able to play with all 10 fingers. Point is it's never too late to learn anything what's more if you are already keen on it. Support you! It's really fun and gave you a lil peace of mind at home smile.gif

It can't ever be too late to learn something new, especially something for your personality. Just don't be afraid to start and remember that every new day is an opportunity to start a brand new life!

Learning is a lifelong process la. It's never too late to learn anything. I'm 26 and going to learn piano. I self taught myself to learn playing guitar before, why not piano?

And dude, learn piano first, then guitar. I think it's better that way, IMO.

No, it's not too late even the adults of the age of 40 above can learn piano. It is just that you have to choose the right method, a beginner-friendly if you are a beginner, otherwise, you may feel lost in your learning. There are good beginner-friendly piano lessons. Piano For all is one of them. You can check the details. Just practice consistently.

usually ppl say too late when old because they work until no time or family
If your weekend very free can always learn.

Guitar is great for portability and soft volume so can play nonstop without bothering ppl

Piano if standing type can bother ppl and electric piano doesn't feel right.

Maybe I'm just biased against piano because when I play I get complain from neighbor but honestly if you like an instrument you'll play till u forgot what time is it like gaming
