I am 28, is it too late for me to learn a musical instrument i was thinking either the guitar or violin?

Question

I am 28, is it too late for me to learn a musical instrument i was thinking either the guitar or violin?

Answer 1

ABSOLUTELY NOT TOO LATE!!!!!! You don't have to be a child to learn an instrument. My dad is 60 this year and he started to learn the flute only about 4 years ago and he already wants to do a recital next year so you are definitely not too old!! Honestly it does'nt matter at what age you start, its just the amount of work you put into it and if you really want to then I'm sure you will learn quickly. I think some people think that some people are put off learning because some children (I believe) are very musically gifted and do excel when they are younger but you don't have to be Mozart to learn!! I personally think that you should try the violin because its such a nice instrument and I if I could learn another instrument then I would choose the violin. Music is really easy to read and its only the first few steps that are hard. Its just like reading a book once you can do it so don't worry about that. I think the thing with music is that its can seem really hard if you can't play but its mainly just about the work you put into it and then you'll realise that its not that hard. Also it does'nt matter if you older and you want to learn because you already have enough life skills to learn and try new things so you will probably learn just as quickly or even more quicly than some children.

Hope you decide to learn and good luck to you if you do:)

Trust me I think it'll be one of the best things you will ever do-or trust 280 people who also think you should!!

Answer 2

Not only are there thousands of people learning at various ages, many are adults.

Now it may be easier as a child to master both an instrument and reading music, but an adult can master both with a bit more effort. Effort because of life. Children don't have to worry about work or rent or other adult worrries, so they can devote more of their time than adults.



I'm 40 myself and learning guitar. So if you start now, I wouldn't be surprised if by the time your 40 you would be a great musican. Oh yeah! Go ahead, take up guitar, and when your 40, you'll probably be better than I will at 50! haha!



Go! Enjoy! learn what you want to learn!

You only grow old when you stop learning!

Answer 3

Hey keep the noise down you whipper snapper, they are playing that music I like.



What was that you said, memory is a going?



Jeez it's hard getting 30 and lets face it I will be 31 this year. I know time to look in to the dipens but will face that problem when I get there.



Wait a minute now I remember your question; I stopped learn at 20 my brain just got to old. Right after college I had to say to those jobs forget the training brain is just too old to retain anything more or new.



Then again, your 28 still a kid go ahead learn the musical instrument, and listen to me youngen cause I am your elder.



Now I have to go, looking for the right words for my tombstone. At my age one can't be too careful. Maybe I'll engrave finished learning at 21 now all my fun is done.

Answer 4

Both can be learned at any age.

Guitar is more flexible as you do not have to read music to learn to play, or you can just learn chords. A good guitar is cheaper than a good violin, more teachers are available, and your opportunities to play will be greater. There are many types of music you could learn from country, blues, jazz, rock, classical, spanish etc.

With some exceptions, violin requires a more classical trained background, requiring more music study, for small string quartets, ensemble, or orchestra.

Visit a local music store and take some introductory lessons with each instrument, and see which one you enjoy more. Music requires practice, so you want something you love to hear. You can rent the instruments, until you decide which you want.

Answer 5

Its never to late to try a musical instrument. Here are 5 reasons why:



5 Reasons to Play a Musical Instrument



Learning to play a musical instrument offers a lot of benefits. I personally believe that if there's one thing you should learn in your lifetime, it is how to play an instrument. Here are 5 reasons why:

1. Playing a Musical Instrument Makes you Smarter

Many studies have been conducted on the effects of music to the brain. Scientists say that children who are exposed to music or those who play an instrument do better in school than those who don't. Recent research suggests exposure to music may benefit a child's reading age, IQ and the development of certain parts of the brain. Adults can benefit from learning to play an instrument too because it helps the mind to be alert and active eventually helping to sharpen the memory.



2. It Teaches Discipline

Learning to play an instrument is like learning to speak another language and it can be challenging at times. One of the qualities music players possess is discipline. You have to be disciplined in order to master playing your instrument. You have to set time each day to practice, practice and practice some more.



3. Playing a Musical Instrument Relieves Stress

We all have days when we are so stressed out and we just want to take a break from it all. Have you ever noticed that when you hear soft, soothing music you feel more relaxed? Playing an instrument can do that and more, especially if you're the one playing. Music is one of life's simple joys, it helps calm the mind.



4. Sense of Achievement

If you're a beginner learning to play your first piece, it can be frustrating. But once you've mastered it, the satisfaction you'll feel is priceless. Never mind if it's just a simple piece, believe me you'll never forget the first piece you've mastered. You are one more step closer to achieving your goal. that is certainly something to be proud of.



5. Playing a Musical Instrument is Fun

Sure it can be a lot of hard work but there is no denying playing an instrument is fun. Once you get better at it, opportunities will arise for you to share your newly learned skill with your family and friends. Who knows, you may also consider playing professionally in the future. Playing a music instrument opens up a lot of good possibilities that will surely enrich your life.

Answer 6

Never too late never too old ,if you have interest time and commitment you can accomplish the instrument you choose. Violins are beautiful to look at and listen to,it will take time to pick up the skills and put the notes together to make music but worth it and if you can play a violin you have the skills then to play any stringing instrument. Guitars is an excellent choice too both come in electric as well. Enjoy all the best take care ~A~

Answer 7

Hey!!!, no ways. If you are really interested in doing this, then I dont think Age will bar you doing it. Infact, 28 is the age you should be doing it, you are independent, you have the resources needed. As far as I know , I dont think there is any rule suggesting that you cant understand or read music once you are 28. I needn't be done when you are a kid itself. If a young child of 5 or 6 can learn the violin or guitar, barely when he can hold it, then surely you could do it at 28. Children start music at 4 and 5 ........barely when there voices or fingers have developed to strum the strings, then you could do it.

All the best............. I suggest you see the film "SUR" as a confidence booster. Ananya Rao

Answer 8

OUch!!!!!!!! I am only 30 and the day someone tells me I am too old they'll get a cane in the face. Your question hurts me as I look into the mirror wondering if it means I will need dentures. Am I that old dog you can't teach new tricks to. Wait chronic back pain coming in again. Lick me and call me a Salty Dog. Wait whats this ipod thing, can't keep up with these new fangled gadget in my day they had walkmans. Yeah and CD players but those were for the likes of my younger sister she 26 not quite as old as you.



Hey keep the noise down you whipper snapper, they are playing that music I like.



What was that you said, memory is a going?



Jeez it's hard getting 30 and lets face it I will be 31 this year. I know time to look in to the dipens but will face that problem when I get there.

Then again, your 28 still a kid go ahead learn the musical instrument, and listen to me youngen cause I am your elder.



Now I have to go, looking for the right words for my tombstone. At my age one can't be too careful. Maybe I'll engrave finished learning at 21 now all my fun is done.

Answer 9

Hey there. I dont know if you'll get this due to the amount of replies. I actually found this "chat room" by typing to old to learn to play guitar in the search engine. I also am 28 and picked up a guitar for thr first time in the past 3 months, I've been having doubt's. I say we go for it. If we were 15 and started by now we'd be pretty damn good! So why not be 40 and be even better! Lets go for it!

Answer 10

Absolutely not! In fact, scientists are finding that learning to play an instrument can help delay or prevent the effects of alzheimers disease. Doing anything that is not in your usual skill set does this. For example, taking a poetry class when you are used to doing math or learning to do math when you've only done creative writing. Another good exercise is switching routines. If you always get up in the morning and take a shower, then eat, try eating first every now and then. Switch which hand you normally do things with. If you normally brush your teeth with your right hand, use your left. Just be careful! Anything you learn especially if it really takes you out of your comfort zone can not only be fun, but lifesaving. Good luck and have fun! By the way, I'm 47 and getting ready to try piano and guitar!

Answer 11

It all depends on what you expect to learn. If you just want to learn a little and be able to play a few tunes then that is quite possible. If you have the want to entertain people then it is much more practice and learning. It is not likely you would become a professional musician beginning so late.



To be good in music there has to be talent to start with and then it is a lot of practice with instructions from those that know. You will have to commit yourself to at least two hours of practice every day. More is better in this case.



It is possible to get rich without knowing very much about music. Just look at all the punk noise makers out there getting paid big money to annoy the world.



No I am not a musician. I spent 40 years working in the music industry and knew many musicians from very good to very bad.

Answer 12

It's never too late. Sometimes when you're a child you think you want to do something and then you lose interest. At this age, you know you want to do it. Start with guitar. Violin is difficult so you may get discouraged. Piano or guitar would be a good start and once you get you confidence in place, go for the violin or other instrument.

Answer 13

Its never too late to do anything in life. Especially if you really want to do it, then it will be that much easier to learn. Yes musicians who are brought up with the instrument are naturally better and know how to read and write music. Dont worry about that, plan ahead with your instrument as to what you want: Is it to help you relax? Help your creative mind? Or you just want a new skill under your belt. So many questions, the best thing to do is if you do get a musical instrument, find someone else(a friend, family, or even hire someone) to help you through the tough phase of beginning stumblers.

Answer 14

I join the rest of the optimistic crowd at encouraging you to learn to play an instrument. You may have hidden talent yet to be explored. What's more, the avocation of playing music is good for the soul and keeps your mind active.



I learned to play the five-string banjo at 21 years of age, but started to play the guitar when I was 16. While I concentrate on guitar because there is so much more to learn, I can still pick the banjo using the different chords it has.



Learning some basic music theory will open the gates of progression for you. Playing by ear is fine, but there are compositions that will elude your ear and that is when playing notation comes in handy.



Playing "The Flight of the Bumblebee" by sheet music made it a worthy accomplishment. Trying to play that piece by ear would have been impossible.



So go for it! Choose your instrument and watch life become richer for you.

Answer 15

No girl, it's never too late to learn to play an instrument. 28, u r still very young. go 4 it girl. Age aint nothing but a number. i think u should learn both at the same time. that way, you apply what you've learnt to both instruments @ d same time. of course both can b mastered well especially when you are a child. since when you are a child ur mind is normally quicker in catching on to things.

Answer 16

It is never to late to learn to play an instrument,lots of people say children learn faster but that isn't true,it's just they have no distractions from everyday life like an adult might have,bills,debts,relationships etc,so no i think you should take up playing an instrument,it's got to be the guitar!! so much more usefull than a violin,when did you last see a band in a pub with a violin player? I myself started playing guitar at 26,and although i'm no jimi hendrix i really enjoy it,so go ahead get that guitar!!.

Answer 17

I think it's wonderful that you want to learn to play an instrument.

You need to put in a lot of work, learning to read music will be the hardest part, it's like learning another language. If I were you I'd invest in some good lessons to get you started.



My belief is that you can do anything that you put your mind to. I think when people say things are easier to learn when you are a child is rubbish! Life is a learning experience. Generally people don't find so much time to learn new things when they are older due to other commitments.



Good for you and good luck!

Answer 18

I know that it is much easier for a child to learn to play an instrument. There is something in a child's brain that helps them retain information better. That is partly the reason why we go to school for such an important period of our lives. While it is not impossible for you to pick up an instrument, it will definitely be a bit harder for you then for, say, a 10 year old. No offense to you, I'm sure you'll do great, but mastery will take a little longer for you. By the way, what instrument are you picking up??



Have fun! (I play the oboe, piano and the flute so I totally know where you're coming from. :)

Answer 19

With a boyfriend like yours, you NEED a hobby that will give you an excuse to be around other people! There is no age that is good or bad to learn something new. Give it a try & if your don't like one instrument, you can always try another! Don't forget that your voice is an instrument too, so if you can sing, you already have mastered one instrument & the others will just be icing on the cake! Have fun & enjoy your new hobby! Violin tends to be harder on your neighbors ears when you are first learning to play it!

Answer 20

Of course it's not too late. However, don't be too hard on yourself and expect the same results as with a child - you will learn some things faster than a child but others a bit slower. The thing is to ENJOY doing it because it's something you want to do for yourself.

You can achieve quite fast results with the guitar if you can get through the initial fingertip pain. Violin can take a bit of time to get through the squeaky, screechy stage but well worth it.

Answer 21

I think it's great that you are going to learn a new instrument. It's never too late to learn anything. Yes, at 28, you could master the instrument. Go for it.

Answer 22

Not at all! I learned the viola when I was 12, and guitar when I was 21. I think it's never too late to learn a musical instrument or a foreign language... people believe that it's easier for children to do so, but that doesn't mean adults cannot. Go for it!

Answer 23

It is never too late to learn something new. As far as reading music goes, it just takes skill and you either learn it or not. You don't have to be a kid to master it. All it takes is years of practice. I personally play the Flute and Piccolo and would love to learn the Violin. I say you should go for it and while you are at it chuck that boyfriend of yours for not being supportive of the things you would like to do.

Answer 24

Absolutely Never too late to begin learning a musical instrument! I have been playing the guitar since 1991, and I am starting new lessons on Saturday! I have played the sax, flute, bass and drums and never taken lessons other than when I was an elementary school student. There are different hurdles and stumbling blocks at different times, which all prove your accomplishment when you are able to look back and see your progress. (Just like life, huh?) Your first hurdle will be to train your fingers to move in new ways, muscles will be soar, but move in little steps with practice. Next will be hand eye coordination. As we grow we become more skilled and efficient at learning, so your maturity, and personal interest and drive, will allow for an ability to grasp musical concepts quickly. It is true that children poses pure and open minds that are able to accept things that adults have been trained they are not capable of, and adults have been beaten down by society to do only that which makes them fit in. Your friends will admire and be jelous of you, do it for yourself! ...And pooh pooh to your boyfriend for Noit being Supportive of You! GoodLuck and enjoy!

Answer 25

It is never too late to learn an instrument. It all depends on the drive and ambition you have to learn music and anything related to a specific musical instrument. Pay attention to several instruments and take it from there... the instrument you identify yourself with is the one you should learn. Now if it's just a "phase", then trying to learn how to play something wont be really helpful, 'cause you never will. You have to and be able to want to enjoy the music, and the instrument itself.

Answer 26

No it's not too late, in fact I think that's a great idea. It'll give you something extra to be involved in. Since you can't read music you can start off taking lessons for beginners or there are even books you can buy that can help you and pretty soonyou'll be playing the guitar and violin like a pro...good luck!

Answer 27

It is never too late - and now you are at an age where you can truley appreciate learning a muscial instrument! I started playing the cello when I was 5 and hated it. I love it now - but I think it's partly a maturity thing and being able to appreciate the music. I was just encouraging a friend of mine to start up an instrument and she's 26. It's never too late - go for it! :)

Answer 28

Well, it's much easier to learn to play an instrument when you are younger, as your brain picks things up easier. Much like language.



I began playing the piano at around 6, and at 10 I began learning to play the oboe (they consider it to be the most difficult woodwind to play, but I don't know about that).



It's never too late to learn to play music. I would recommend starting out with piano, as it is a good instrument for learning to read music with. There are many guitarists out there who can't read traditional sheet music, and rely on chord progressions. We classical musicians tend to make fun of them, as they usually struggle. That's why you should definitely start out with all the basics. It will expand your knowledge regardless of what you end up playing.



See if you know someone who teaches piano lessons, or even try to find one in the yellow pages. Good luck to you! :)

Answer 29

It is never too late to learn if you have the 'gift'. I started playing guitar at age 25. After a few years I switched to bass and started playing in bands shortly after that. I'm 42 now and I am thinking about getting a keyboard and learning to play. My mom makes a little extra money playing organ at her church and at weddings. I think I could do something like that.

Answer 30

No! It's never too late. We have a man at out church that learned how to play the violin and he is 40!

Reading music gets easier the more you practice. Plus you will only be playing cord or treble clef which is pretty easy.

Don't ever ever give up! You can do anything you put your mind to!

Answer 31

It's always not too late to learn a musical instrument as long as you want to learn it! There's still some parents that learning piano with their children, if they can do it, why cant you? so, be brave and try it! you can do it! guitar is more to improvise while violin is more to classical, it depends to what song you would like to play with. If you like to sing a long pop song, guitar will be the one. If you want to enjoy the music, violin be your choice. i got a lot of friends cannot read music but can play guitar, while violin, you need to learn to read 1st then you ll master it very fast! so, hope you enjoy the beauty of music~

Answer 32

Although learning something completely new, and with so many complexites to it, is better the earlier it is learned - it is never too late.

When we are toddlers even, the amount of information we can retain is amazing, and we learn at an amazing rate. However, the older we get, the less we are able to learn quickly. That's why it is sooo much harder learning a language after the age of 18-21.

You still can learn anything at any age, but just so, it will take more patience and tolerance as it will take longer.

Answer 33

It is never too late. A friend of mine in his EIGHTIES (!) learned to play the piano.

You'll probably not become a virtuoso, but you will get a lot of satisfaction and pleasure out of learning to play an instrument.

I would advice against the violin, because that is a much more complicated instrument than the guitar and to master it would take considerably longer.

Good luck!

Answer 34

I love music. I feel it teaches you a lot of things that books and words can't. If you want to learn a musical instrument, go for it!!!! It'll be one of the best things you ever did. I'm sure you can master it even though you are not a child. We learn new things every day, right?

Answer 35

Learning to read music as an adult is much easier than learning it as s child. Children have hard time reading the normal letters. You already have fully developed mind.



On the other hand, training your ear might be a little harder. Do the piano first, then violin. Piano, when properly tuned, will help you with that. Nowdays with wonderful electronic pianos tuning is no longer an issue. If byuing one, make sure to get one with the real "weighted" keys, not with the spring-loaded keys.



If I were you I'd hint it to your bf that you want more support out of him. 168 answers out of strangers, and no answer out of him.

Answer 36

#1..I'm so sorry that your B.F. wasn't able to answer you..or would not answer you..#2..oh honey..go out and learn learn learn..there is nothing better than music...I took piano lessons for 13 years...and NO! You don't have to start young...and sweetie, you are still young..do what is in your heart..if you have the music inside you..do not let that passion slip by. Today, I play the piano flute, and piccolo...

Guitar and Violin are both so hot.

I wish you the best of luck...get out there and do it!

I hope to get an update on what you decide and how it goes.

Wishing you all the best... ;)

Answer 37

Of course not Hun!You are never too old to learn. And learning an instrument is the best! I may take time but you'll catch on. You should make a list of things you would like to learn and then go for it! Life is too short so you must live it up while you can!

Answer 38

No problem. It's easy if you really want to do it. NO, you don't have to be a kid. Guitar or violin? If you mean classic guitar, then whatever you like best. If it's just for fun, go for guitar. I play guitar, keyboards and some flute, and can read music (not really well, but I don't need to) I played by ear since forever, but learned to read music in my 20's. So you see, no problemo..... ☺



Music is the best thing there is in the whole universe. GO FOR IT!

Answer 39

No way! Anytime in life is a good time to learn an instrument. As a kid I played viola even though I wanted to play piano - I can now play both and a few others. It takes, time, commitment and a bit of patience, but it is well worth it!

You didn't say what instrument but here are some great starting sights:

Piano: http://www.learnpianoonline.com/

Guitar: http://www.wikihow.com/Rapidly-Learn-to-Play-the-Acoustic-Guitar-Yourself

Flute: http://www.fluteland.com/

Answer 40

I been playing guitar for 14 years self taught and i still cant read music. Where most musicians can read music as easy as a child book I would have to study it just to get a few notes worked out. Thankfully its easy to hear some music and figure it out and i really dont need to read music for what i play. Never to late to learn anything especialy if you really want to learn it.

Answer 41

Its never too late for anything in life. The more you enhance yourself with any kind of knowledge, the more would you and those around you, appreciate your knowledge. Music helps bringing out a cool & calm personality. So go ahead with not only Guitar but violin too.

Answer 42

I don't think that you are too old to learn to play an instrument and as far reading music I used to be able to (as a child also) but its cake its so easy. If senior citizens can get bachelors and masters degrees you can surely get learn one musical instrument.

Answer 43

I am a seasoned musician currently teaching a gentleman

over 65 how to play guitar and read music.

so the short answer is NO.trust me if you want to learn

you can however I would reccomend a qualified instructor

to show you proper technique and how Not to do things.

you will not get that from a book or CD.you need the human element to show you what's what.go for it

next up is a lady over 40 so you have it made

Answer 44

No. I don't think so. But it will be more challenging than with a 10 year old. It's like learning a language. The best time to learn languages is before age 14, but I know dozens of people way into their 50's learning new languages, so it shouldn't be different for instruments.

Give it shot, though!

Answer 45

it's never too late to learn to play an iknstrument. Depending on if you are willing to pay for lessons of not I would go with the guitar if you want to learn how to play on your own time. It's easy to learn guitar on your own. My suggestion is to rent the instrument from some sort of renting facility of instruments. that way you can work your way up to buying it and if you decide you don't like the instrument you can just stop renting it.

Answer 46

no no no.



it's never too late.



well your boyfriend isn't into creativity and the enrichment of you...



talk to someone who can teach you violin.. the lessens are cheap! if you have an local music store or go to your yellow pages, online.. for locals who teach violin.



it's that easy.



to hell with those who can't be bothered.. is what i say..find out who can teach... if they teach violin and what their rates are.. and start from there!



:"D



good luck!



oh yes those telling your that another instrument is better.. no no... all instruments are great.. but if you want violin... yes do so!



i mean seriously!



the violin is such a beautiful and wonderful thing... do this!



just takes the inspiration and of course the time and money.



go check it out... there are tutors who are CHEAP! and you will get the quality!

Answer 47

As long as your practice you should be just fine--no matter what age. When you are younger you may grasp things a little faster, but it's like the saying goes, you can teach an "old" dog new tricks.



I plan to learn an asian language someday, and I am 25. So don't sweat it. I see lots of support already listed, and I say go for it too!



If it is something you want to do and learn you'll keep at it. :-)

Good luck!

Answer 48

Of course not. You're never to old to learn anything. I just saw on TV where a lady graduated from college at the age of 82. By the way, music is easy to learn. Good luck and have fun.

Answer 49

Guitar is a good musical thing to learn. I am 31 and started at 25

Answer 50

How long it takes to learn guitar depends on how good you want to get and how much practice you put in. How good you can get with 1-2 hours a day for a few months depends on what methods you use to practice. There are effective practice methods that will help you make the best use of your time. This course is one of the best. https://bitly.im/aMSPd It's not just about how much you play but how effectively you play that will determine how good you will get.

Answer 51

Not at all. As long as you are interested in learning something, there is nothing called too late. Learning something is what our brain does which starts from the day you are conceived till you die. "Learning iscontinues from womb to tomb" and learning music just like learning any other skills is one of those things you can do. Your interest and passion for it will help you to learn fast and easy.



I do not know what you will choose-guitar or violin but just check out these links for beginner lessons:

Godluck! ♥

Answer 52

It's never too late to learn something. I am 40 and I am learning more because of going back to college. Over all it isn't too late for anything, as it is good for the brain at any age. I could teach you some guitar......

Answer 53

28...to me that is still young. In this say and age you are only about a quarter way through life. There is no reason that you couldn't start any musical instrument that you wanted to. I'm 33 (which is still young) and I'm still tossing around the idea to pick up an instrument myself. I say go for it.

Answer 54

By "standards" yes you are old. Most musicians do start young, but what does that matter? You're going to be doing this just for you (I assume). It's perfectly fine to begin playing an instrument. It's lots of work whether you start young or not.



I mean I'm 19 and I started piano a year ago. Do I care? Not at all...

Answer 55

There is no age when the brain cannot grow new synapses.

In other words, learning never ends. 28 is not too old - 65 is not too old - to start. Reading music is not difficult to learn either - it's not any more complicated than reading the alphabet.



Good Luck



;-)

Answer 56

Absolutely not too late- and good for you! Although it is much easier for one to learn while still a child (no preconceptions), give yourself some credit. You're a much wiser person now than you were then, so start from the platform of life experience in learning other skills and go from there.



Music is a wonderful outlet. And besides, if you don't do it now, in five years, you'll be five years older and you still will not have done it... but if you start now, you'll be five years ahead.. it's all in how you look at it. Good luck.

Answer 57

Who says so? You are never too old to learn. Though age may create some difficulties ih learning singing and also playing a musical instruments you are not in that age category. Even with his handicap my friend learnt singing when he begain at 50s. You are just a young lass. Go ahead and pursue Venus till she blesses you.

Answer 58

Of course not! As long as you have the time and money for this instrument..put ur heart into it and go for it!! Violin will take a few weeks to get the basic notes down but its worth it as I play it myself! There are private tutors out there for both guitar and violin..so just go for it!

Answer 59

Uh, I'd definitely lean toward the gee-tar. The violin is much more difficult to play and sounds a lot worse when you don't play it well. There's a TON of online resources, videos, etc. that will teach you to play guitar. And even if you're not that good, as long as the guitar is in tune, it will sound pretty decent.



Of course, I'm sure you will rule at it. :-)

Answer 60

Not true. Anyone can learn to play an instrument if they put their mind to it. I never learned to read music and picked up guitar when I was 12 and now I play very, very well. Yes you can.

Answer 61

It might be better to start when you are younger but you can start now. To read music it may be better to have lessons. Usually the store you buy the guitar or violin from can make suggestions about lessons/instructors. Also, you can find used instruments on ebay, internet or and in stores.

Answer 62

It's never too late.There are some great sites out there for learning the guitar. The guitar would be a better bet to start on,you would notice your own progress on it quicker.You only get out of music what you put in practice wise.Go for it and good luck.

Answer 63

Nope I am 32 and just picking up new things all the time, in fact a friend of mine was an accountant until he was 5 then packed it all in and trained as a pychologist which he has become really successful at. Too many people write off the chance to change and explore new aspects of thier lives because of their age, go for it have fun!

Answer 64

Its never to late for anything. You go and learn how to read music and learn how to play an instrument. That great that you want to learn. Good Luck. And let me know when your album comes out!!!

Answer 65

My daughter says your never too old to learn. She is nearly 21 and has just started to learn the guitar on a saturday afternoon. She can't read music. She has only had two lessons and can't wait for saturday!

Answer 66

No , you may be 28 , but I say when you're left behind there's no such thing as not being able to catch up. So pick up an instrument and learn

Answer 67

In the Constitution of the Homo Sapiens, in Chapter 387, #453, it says:



"No human being over the age of 27 years and 11 months and 364 days may learn a new musical intrument"

Answer 68

It is never to late to learn anything. Just because you reach a certain age doesnt mean your brain stops. In 10 years when you are 38, you might say, "I should have done it. I should have tried." How are you ever going to know if you dont try? If you want something bad enough, you can make it happen. I am 42 and I refuse to let a number (age) stop me from doing anything.

Answer 69

I don't see why it's too late.



Say it takes you 5 years to learn. So you can be a 33 year old who plays guitar or you can be a 33 year old who doesn't. Regardless, you're still going to be 33 right? You might as well be a 33 year old who is doing something that she wants to do.



It might take a little longer to master, or you might pick it up like it was what you were born to do.



Enjoy!!

Answer 70

Yes, you can still learn to both read music and play an instrument, You should try to find a good teacher and a boyfriend who listens to you.

Answer 71

you're never too old to learn to play an instrument.You only need to have the desire to play and practice,practice,practice!



A lot of musicians can't read music. They play by ear!

If you plan to sing along as you play the guitar is the one for you as playing fiddle "violin" is a bit more involved and next to impossible to sing while you play!

Answer 72

You're never too late to learn a musical instrument. You'll just have to learn how to read music someday. Never give up on your hopes and dreams.

Answer 73

Hi SJ!



Definitely not.

I play the guitar almost professionally, but I cannot read music either. On top of that, I am left~handed and play strum with my left, on a regular guitar.

Yeah, being left~handed on a right~handed guitar, I practically a;most learnt it by myself.

Think of the many benefits of knowing how to play {and sing along} musical instruments. Music is powerful! Especially if you play spiritual music that can heal and creat strong positive vibrations!

Happy playing!

Answer 74

I say go for it. Playing music is a wonderful thing to know how to do.

I wish you the best of luck in learning.:)

Answer 79

No. I think that anyone can learn anything at any age. I am of 15 and had learnt harmonium. I know I am very small but I know about it. And remember, don't believe that any book will teach you this thing. Because there are certain things which are not in book, like feelings, etc. And last thing, remember, there is never too late.

Answer 80

I don't think it's ever too late to bring music into your life, but what do I know? I was 11 when I began music lessons. Don't worry about reading music. It'll probably be the easiest thing to learn.

Answer 81

Take a look at the greats - mike Oldfield plays all instruments himself and Moby never stops learning. I begin jazz lessons on the piano shortly - i can read music but the guy who is going to teach me can't read music!?

Answer 82

It certainly is not too late, if you are motivated.

If your bf can't answer you, maybe it is time for a

change.

For guitar: get a decent acoustic for about $150. Start out playing folk music, it is easiest.

"Ralph Denyer's Guitar Handbook" is by far the best all in one book to take you from beginner to expert.

here is a good beginner's site:

My dear it is never too late for you to do anything. So I think you should follow your heart and go and play what ever instrument you like. My Grandmother at 76 years of age did Spanish for the first time and now is very good at it. Saying this to say GO FOR IT.

Answer 85

Man, what a support you've got from everyone... Well, you know what to do. Go for the guitar, it is more diverse so you can adapt it to your changing musical taste over the years... and you really should leave your boyfriend as he will obviously not be supportive of anything you do in life.

Answer 86

no you're never too late to learn anything. i'm 13 and i know because i've started playing three years ago and i can play and read notes almost as well as those who are much older than me and has been playing since they were toddlers. first, buy one those teach your self how to play piano books and so you get the basics. then, you can buy more books ( more cheaper than getting a teacher) or if you can afford it, get a teacher but i have to warn you, it's like over 40 bucks for a hour.

Answer 87

you can learn to read music at basically any age, it is very easy, but it takes some time to be able to read it fluently.

My little brother passed away 2 years ago and I was fortunate to be blessed with his piano (which he LOVED to play and share with my family)....I was motivated to learn how to read music and play....Like I said, it is NEVER to late to dive into something that you have a passion for!

Find out games you don't wanna play

You are the only one that needs to know



I'll keep you my dirty little secret

Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret

(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)

My dirty little secret



Who has to know

When we live such fragile lives

It's the best way we survive

I go around a time or two

Just to waste my time with you



Tell me all that you've thrown away

Find out games you don't wanna play

You are the only one that needs to know



I'll keep you my dirty little secret

(Dirty little secret)

Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret

(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)

My dirty little secret



Who has to know

The way she feels inside (inside)

Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)

These sleeping dogs won't lie (won't lie)

And now I try to lie

It’s eating me apart

Trace this life out



I'll keep you my dirty little secret

(Dirty little secret)

Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret

(Just another regret)



I'll keep you my dirty little secret
