Hi Diana,

While it's true that the young learn faster, there's something adults have on kids when it comes to learning -- discipline and experience! I don't buy the theory that you have to start as a kid to be good at something. Whether or not it will "pay off" is up to you, and also depends on what your definition of "pay off" is. If you mean will you get better, the answer is YES!

Of course, I think 21 is pretty young to be worried about being too old :) Enjoy your lessons. You're never too old to learn.
