It is Never to Late to Learn Music
It is good to encourage people of all ages to learn music. Older students, like adult beginners, would benefit from the skills developed in music lessons. It takes a different approach to learn music at an older age; you are developing new skills that you may not have come across so it takes a lot of patience to really work at it. It can also be a great way to change up your usual routine and benefit from having a creative outlet.

So I think there’s a difference in strategy.”
