It's definitely feels easier to learn something when you are much younger.

Swimming, cycling, piano... Very Happy

I do, and I started learning since I was four.

It is never too late to start, the only problem is time and commitment. Good luck. Smile

I started teaching myself to play the keyboard six months ago.

Progress has been slow - Right now I can only play 'Mary Had a Little Lamb'. Embarassed

And yeah, you're never too old to learn - it's all about your level of commitment and dedication to learning, rather. Wink

As long as got $$, got time, and got patient. Any age also can learn.

Piano should be learn from as young as possible

Hmmm....I totally forgot how to read the music scores.

Can someone recommend some good books to pick up keyboard or piano?

I really would like to try to pick them up again as well as train my year old neice for the next 3 months.

haiz...im way past that age.

almost every post seems to point towards 'learn piano when young'.

consulted my parents abt it and they say "huh learn piano for wat? so old liao! last time small ask you to learn you dun want, see lah see lah!"

i think i have to erase my thoughts on learning piano....

maybe im not determined enough, but i think it's better to put the time and effort to learn other more tangible stuff instead...

anwyay thank you guys for the advice Smile
