as someone who took up another instrument as a young adult, I would say no, the entire point is to do that while you're a kid and willing to practice shit endlessly

maybe a different answer if you're a multiinstrumentalist

Seems CR if you can devote at least a few hours a week to it.

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

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. I'm white btw not a striver azn

depends on what you're into. you can play and sing 95% of pop songs within a couple years and write your own stuff which is fun. but if you're trying to play chopin or thelonius monk, you missed the boat unless you're retired and can devote 4 hours a day to it for 5 years.

CR.

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.

piano is easy to romanticize as an instrument, muh chopin and all that, but you need to fight off your natural autistic urges and just learn a few open guitar chords. a whole new world of chill frattiness awaits.
