It's never too late to learn how to play anything. As long as u have air in your body and a desire in your heart, then hit it.

As others have said, you're never too old. Making the effort to learn new things is what helps keep us young.

You don't look a day over 30 so at least you don't look too old to learn to play an instrument, even if in fact you are. hug

Yeah, I do. I grew up in a musical house. My dad played guitar and bass. My mom, she plays piano, violin and clarinet. I play guitar, bass, keys and drums. See when I was a kid, you had a lot of kids that played an instrument. I knew so many girls from grade school where it was damn near standard that they knew how to play piano. It wasn't a big thing back then. Kids in the 70's, we grew up wanting to learn how to play something. Now, kids are so into games on the computer, the interest just isn't there.
