Advice needed for a future Piano student
on: March 26, 2008, 11:55:51 PM
I'm 19 years old. My qeustion. Do you think I have a chance of succes in a career involved with the Piano. Am I to young? Should I start learning the Piano?

PS: I just wrote of a whole story about my life and my passion for Art.
My story got deleted by a click accident. And I don't have the time anymore to write it all back again. Not to mention my lmited writing skills of the English language, since i'm Dutch.

I would do anything to be able to play pieces like these one day:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVeaIHWWck

I haven't been allowed, gotten the chance to start since I was a kid in my childhood. So am I simply too old now?

Note that I have currently no occupations. And I'm prepared to spend a lifetime to be a skilled piano player. For career purposes also.

Thank you for time.

4I've started at 38 if this tells you something and in three years time I can play Mozart Bach Grieg Medelson Chopin is next but I practice a lot. The point here is that if you want to learn and you are determined you are going to make it. Find a good and experienced teacher, it is very important. For a carreer I do not know but I think in ten years time, if you can afforred it financially I mean and your life path does not change dramatically, you would be mature enough for a carrer if you are that good. And a last piece of advice lissen lissen and watch watch great pianists in action.
Good Luck ;)

You are not to old at all.
I advocate learning by playing chords because that may help you 'see' the music pieces clearer... identify them by parts/sections... even to implement your own style... or write your own songs.
I offer free tips and tricks for fast learning. It's something I do just for fun.  :) Check out my blog at PianoShortcuts.com
