Not CR if you only have an hour to play here and there. |

Date: January 5th, 2026 3:08 PM Author: 180 pearl box office legend I played piano at a high level as a kid, I won my age group for musicfest northwest, I played baby elephant walk iirc. I had great voicing. I quit in 6th grade cause I hated it and wanted to only do sports. I got a concussion in college and couldnt play football anymore and mellowed out and tried to get back into piano, a little asian twink gave me lessons in exchange for letting him hang out with us, and it was like starting all over again. I don't think you can do it. My mom taught piano lessons too and people who started as adults basically never got better or worth a shit.

Tbh just being able to play pop and rock songs is fun. I enjoy it a lot. But agree no reasonable adult with a job and other interests is going to learn to play classical music at 30. |
