It's very obvious you're not motivated enough to learn an instrument and use this as an excuse, making a thread to confirm your cop-out excuse for being too lazy to learn something new.

Ryo fuki learnt to play piano at 30 and released Scenery at 36

Is never too late anon

I hate how people think you can only make music if young or done it all your life. For more popular stuff, maybe, yeah, you'd be taken more seriously or be more popular if you were young and attractive. But for everything else, as long as what you make it good, in some way, that's all that matters.

Don't let your age stop you doing from what you love

I tried taking piano lessons but the Chinese woman said she was expecting someone a little younger and laughed at me. After the lesson, she said there was not much point learning an instrument at my age because adult brains and muscle memory find it too difficult

>>73045860
What a great teacher

>>73045753
What the fuck are you talking about?

>>73045860
Wow reading this just made me unrepress a memory of my Chinese violin teacher making me eat her out whenever she was dissatisfied with my progress

>>73045860
Get a better teacher

>>73045882
You used to go down on Lavren for hours, what the fuck happened?

>>73045860
>listening to chinks
they arent even human

>>73045860
Teach yourself

>>73045860
sounds like a teacher who's not confident in her abilities desu

>>73045882
Look every the fatso with Down syndrome that sent bjork a bomb is trying to communicate with us

>>73045860
you'll never get to professional musician standard, that's what she meant

>>73045918
I wish

>>73045860
Any teacher telling you not to do something because it is too difficult is a shit teacher. If you have the motivation it can be done, find a teacher who is actually supportive of you.

>>73045822
Literally who

>>73045822
He was 22 when he self taught himself the piano, 28 when scenery was released

Mfw when I coud I have played percussion but I dint wanted to do The homework

>>73046012
Want* I meant sorry

>>73045860
literally lol
i taught myself guitar and guitar-associated music theory. eventually evolved to decent partiture reading skill and smashed it on the piano. not nearly a skilled professional, but i can manage some plays, and i'm pretty sure anyone could ace everything in a conservatory after doing what i did

>tfw you'll never find anyone who plays the tuba that isn't fat

Do they exist?

>>73046000
>>can never truly appreciate music in this lifetime

She was harsh, but she was a good player. Halfway through the lesson, she stopped me from playing so I could learn by watching her play.

>>73045993
start listening to jazz you moron

recently I bought a trumpet because I love the sound of wind instruments and I found a super cheap one on the internet. The lady that sold it to me told me "don't expect to be good at it, I have been playing for 24 years and I am still not good at it"

while there is truth in what she says, I do not want to play at orchestra level where intonation is make or break for a solo trumpetist. Everything else? Miles Davis made a career of sounding like there was a cat inside the fucking thing

tl;dr teach yourself how to play, there is literally a giant network that can teach how to do anything in life ever, make good use of it

>>73046072
Being able to play doesn't make you a good teacher.

>>73046076

oh fuck off. He's not even an important jazz musician

My old guitar told me it's not about age, it's about how much time and practice you can put in. He told me this once when I said when I was around 16 I was too old to learn guitar.
God rest his soul.

>>73046186

You should call it "To Make Up For Lost Time"

I'd give it a spin

The middle of the Alto clef is C
The dot on the treble and bass clefs are also C
Congrats you can read now

>>73046385

I'm not saying I don't enjoy the album, I'm just saying you shouldn't berate someone for not knowing about a relatively inconsequential or for that matter unremarkable musician, you fucking dick

>>73046614
