Not a weight loss question: Do any of you play piano? I want to start learning this summer, but I'm wondering if I'm too old *sniff sniff*. How long would it take me to learn how to read the notes and play on my own, do you think? Thanks! ~~MissyK~~

It is hard and also takes a lot of time and effort but if you really practise hard then it should not take you long to get good hope this helps.

Reply from Winona, Age 17 - 06/12/04 - IP#: 63.183.113.xxx It all depends on the time you put into it. But you're never to late to start. Good luck!
Reply from Emily, Age 13 - 06/12/04 - IP#: 209.137.211.xxx It's not that hard I've playted for 8 years! and I'm only 13 and ur never too old to play if your a quick learner it would take you about 2 weeks to start out on level 2 like me I've played for 8 years and I'm pretty desent!
Reply from MissyK, Age 18 - 06/12/04 - IP#: 24.84.212.xxx Thanks for all the replies! I've never learned theory before, so it'll probably take me ALOT longer, eh? How long does it take to learn theory?
Reply from Emily, Age 12 - 06/12/04 - IP#: 68.148.144.xxx I play piano and i started when i was 5, but people i know who started a lot later or in or above the same level as me since they were able to catch on so much quicker! Hope you have fun with it.
Reply from Marina, Age 16 - 06/12/04 - IP#: 24.215.12.xxx No way-it's never too late. If you're *truly* interested in it, you'll succeed in it. I started playing piano when I was 4 years old. & I'm still pretty lousy at it. However, back in September I picked up the flute, and I'm really good at it, just because I'm so interested in it. It won't take you long to learn the basic theory you need to play. Good luck!!
