Hi there.
I was just wondering whether starting late in piano playing would really affect you if you want a professional career as a pianist, or concert pianist?
The thing is I am 19 going 20 and only seriously started to play the piano at the age of 17. It is not that I am an ambitious person...I have only managed to concentrate fully on my passion now- after taking a science course and realized that it was not appropriate for me.
Until now, I still haven't pursue any grading examinations despite being able to play a couple of solo songs with the piano. Well, I understand that it is definitely the best to hire a teacher but somehow, I feel that I am too old to go for serious grading system and by the time i get to a professional level, I might have already turned 30!
Furthermore, I still need to save up for an upright piano since I am interested in classical music.
It really might take ages!(I didn't come from a rich family background)
Overall, it is definitely very hard work.
Willl get piano lessons (tho most of them are KIDS).. and try my best to save up for an acoustic.
But looking at my age...I am still wondering whether...
Is it really WORTH it?
Or am i just wasting my time...
It will be great if you can voice up some opinions on this matter.
