I started at 45 so you are just a kid at 30. Try it - if it works for you, great. If not, what have you lost? But...
Get a good teacher (especially to get started).
Prepare for a lot of work, practice and frustration, because it is harder than you might think and gets harder as you get older (like all learning processes).
Use the Nike Principle - Just do it!
Good luck!

it's NEVER too late! and I think it's wonderful that you want to learn at your age. It's hard to find the incentive to do so when you have the time frame and responsibilities as an adult. A family friend started playing the piano when he was 50, and he's very talented 10 years later.
it's really worth it.

Turn that frown upside-down. It's never too late to learn ANYTHING!!! =] I taught myself piano at 15, im still 15 btw, then i got lessons after. so if you want, you can buy books that start off slow and work on scales and chords, then work your way up. then you can start to play pieces. if you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask me!! im not totally sure, but A LOT of people have told me that I have perfect pitch. which pretty much means i can pick up any instrument play it well and good, and listen to a song and play it back on piano. so if you have any questions or anything about piano, just email me!! i'll help you anytime!!

Never too late. Trust me, you should pick it up. I know people who started in their 40s. As long as you know you're going to pursue and love it, go for it. Piano has always been a great source of comfort and fun for me, so I just want to share the love. Do it :)

Malcolm is right. I am learning guitar at 47 so you should be able to learn piano at 30. I would like to add one thing to Malcolm's advice. Get your piano tuned before your first lesson. It will be much easier to learn if it sounds right.One last thing - practice, practice, practice.

A friend of mine decided to learn to play the piano at age 52. He had always wanted to learn and just never had the opportunity. He is now 58 and he plays every day. He is quite good. He won’t become a famous concert pianist but that was never his intention.

I think you can't lose if you constantly better yourself. I'm not about that Dr. Phil crap, but what i am about is quite simple. You get one ride, so, it's much better to try something than to look back and say "well, I coulda" so, knock yourself out and good luck

A good book is "Never Too Late" by John Holt.
He learned to play the cello in his later years.

Not at all....if you do not start now you will regret it when you are 50. That will be twenty years wasted. I started the violin at 35.
Go for it now !
