Absolutely! Its never too late! Just be prepared to practice. Realize that the older we are when we begin to learn new intricate things we may not progress as fast as we want so be patient with yourself. Don't expect to play a Chopin polonaisse after your first lesson. I have started many "older" students and its never too late! Good Luck.

I've been working with the course for about a week now, and it's incredible. Just the practice aids and the different scales and memory techniques in Book 9 are worth the price of the course, alone! There are two things that make this course stand out. First, all the video and audio files are embedded in the lesson. I have yet to find another piano course that makes it this easy. It's so nice not to have three files going at the same time!
The second thing is that you actually get to play in each lesson! And the songs are not "Mary had a Little Lamb" types! From the Beatles to Bethoven, it's all there. I have several piano courses that I have ordered over the internet. This is the one I use because it makes learning fun! I'm amazed! Once you get the rhythms down, you really can sound like a pro! Great fun! Thanks for making this available at such a reasonable price. Anyone who doesn't grab this up is going to go the long way home! Joy!
Now ANYONE Can Learn Piano or Keyboard?

You may never make full orchestral piano, but there is no reason why you couldn't bang out some Elton John, Billy Joel, or the Beatles in a year or less.
The idea that you cannot take up an instrument after childhood is really a hold over from the old days. Sure, if you start at 24, you wont play like someone who has been eating and breathing piano since they were five, but rock and roll is still well within your grasp!

Are you able to "read" music, even for another instrument? If you can, you will not have much trouble picking up piano playing.
On the other hand, should you want an affordable way to learn piano, first look at your local adult night high school or junior college [on weekends] curriculum for group piano lessons which are very affordable. Once you advance to more individual lessons, look for a foreign exchange music student who can provide private one-on-one lessons at a very reasonable rate. And in some instances, if your English is good, you can exchange skills in kind.
Good luck!

Of course you can learn. It's never, never too late. Adults will mostly make quicker progress than children because they are self-motivated. Find yourself a good teacher - ask around. The very best recommendation is word of mouth.
There are easy books published which could be used as do-it-yourself, but a real teacher is the best to explain things clearly, to show you how, and for you to ask questions
Good luck!!

24 is ok, but at 26 you will no longer be able to. There. I just started a fire under you to go do it.
