On the 13th December 2004 at the age of 43, I took my violin grade 1 exam after taking up the instrument 8 weeks before. I did it to keep my 10 year old daughter company whilst she practised and to learn to play the violin I inherited from my granfather. We both passed, naturally Amber got a higher mark than me, but she has been having lessons for considerably longer.
Never let age be a barrier!
Cheers,
Lucy
