is it possible for one to learn the piano when they are 22 years old? if yes where do i start?

Answer 1

of course you can you can start at any age it just might be a tiny bit harder because your a little older

Answer 2

Very much so. I am 19 and just starting to learn keyboard right now.

I would first recommend learning all the keys of the piano. Which is fairly easy, its only A through G, over and over. Then you should learn how to read sheet music, search for a tutorial on this via the web, if you plan on playing by sheet music. You will also need to learn how to play different chords, which is keys played together with the left hand to get different tones.

If you are a visual learner, there are several How-to videos on YouTube on how to play certian songs. Just search "How to play so and so on keyboard/piano." This might not teach you how to play how a music teacher would show you, but you will eventually pick up on things and learn for yourself.

Of course you could always take private music lessons.

Answer 3

Any age is young enough to learn anything provided the interest is there.
Last week i saw a video of a 71 year old lady who too up dancing classes in waltzes, tango, cha-cha, rhumba etc when she was 69 ! She was amazingly graceful in execution and style.
So at 22, it will be fun and you can go far - check up the classifieds or ask the music shops for their recommendations of places teaching piano playing.
Have a Happy New Year learning .

Answer 4

Of course you can . I started learning violin at age 35 and I know many people who started learning piano in their forties.
You have nothing to loose and everything to gain.
Just think how good you can be in ten years time with regular daily practise......... and you will only be 32 years old !

Hint : get a teacher ; you will progress much faster than trying to teach yourself.

Buying a piano : if you get an electronic piano than make sure it has weighted keys and a full size keyboard.

Answer 5

Although my response will # 20 something, and no one will read it, I nevertheless will post it in the hope it may prove to be of some value to you later on in you piano career.

Firstly, I ditto all of the above responses: it's never to late to learn how to perform on a musical instrument; and I applaud you for becoming interested at the ancient age of 22 years.

My only advice(?), suggestion, recommendation, is that if you really become committed to studying and practice of the piano, that you sooner or later be sure to get the HERTZ practice techniques book, in order to learn how to best practice and develop your skills at performing on this wonderful instrument: it's really important, to practice correctly.

Anyhow, full steam ahead, and the best of luck,
Alberich

Answer 6

It's totally possible! You start with passion for music and the deep desire to play the piano. Everything else, then, has it's way of falling into place. Age is never an issue.

Answer 7

Absolutely! Find a teacher who is willing to work with you and who you want to work with. When I first started taking piano lessons again about three years ago, I first called a friend of mine who used to teach piano lessons in my area and asked her for a recommendation. I ended up being directed to a person at a local music store who gave me names and phone numbers of piano teachers that I could work with. I called these teachers and narrowed it down to two, then went to meet both of them. I chose my current teacher after asking her if I could observe her teaching a lesson. I feel that she and I get along very well and I get satisfaction both from music making and from feeling that I'm making progress in developing my abilities. My teacher has mostly young students, but I feel that she respects me as an adult and allows me to make my own choices.

If you live in a place with a college or university nearby, you might also want to call that school's Department of Music. Some of the students there will be piano teachers who might be looking for students.

Congratulations for wanting to learn to play piano! I hope you find it very enjoyable.

Answer 8

you sure can - practice - practice - practice

Rome was not built in a day -

your first $10,000 lesson - play everything 5 times slow - for everytime at tempo

you need to train your fingers 'where to go'

and if you make a misteak - mistakk - - error
just start the 5x slow all over again

learned this from a great lady who taught 20 yrs @ Julliard

all the best

have a great 2008

Answer 9

Never too late to learn something like that. One of my best tuba students didn't start until he was 45.
Call the local high school or university with a music department. They can be honest with you as far as teachers who will be suited to help you. It's not going to be easy, you will not be playing 'Claire deLune' in two weeks.

Answer 10

yes I started when I was 29, never took lessons and now I play classical. learn chords, learn the notes on the sheet music and on the piano. once you learn how to play your first song, pick up some books and start learning, its eaiser than you think, good luck.

Answer 11

No, I'm sorry but the cut off age to learn piano is 21.but you still have plenty of time to learn the banjo
