Thread Name: Am I too old to learn?
Subject: RE: Am I too old to learn?
As far as I'm concerned, music keeps you young, singing certainly has done that for me (which all my friends can attest to). I only added the Duet McCann concertina when I was past 45 and am performing with it now. What I'm working on now is to try and harness the "young" effect so that I go in reverse. I'll let you all know when I am successful.

I think that learning to play a new instrument is just as good at stimulating the brain as the little box they've been advertising on television, and it's more fun and you can share the enjoyment with friends and make new friends.

Never say never too old - I know the body has it's limits, but the mind certainly doesn't and, anyway, who says fun is only for the young! (If you know that person, let me know who it is and I'll put them straight).

Cheers
