Perfect age to play piano?

[gnutela]

is there an ideal age to play piano? what's the type of music should i play to begin with? any recommended sites or teaching materials as well? thanks for all those who will answer.

The perfect age is and always will be now.  The perfect music to be learnt is a piece that wants to be played.

I don't think "perfect" exists in the real world for anything.

Any age is a great age to play piano.

The optimal age to learn to play piano is, in my opinion, long past for anyone old enough to read this.

for me it would be 10 years, because that was the age I asked my parents to learn to play the piano and went to conservatory to ask about lessons. it was way to expensive and I couldn't go...
so maybe the best age to star learning is 20 years because it was the time when I started to have money to pay for some lessons and started learning.

I'll second that.
