I have no musical experience, and I don’t even listen to classical music.

Honestly, what should I expect?

Of course you can. Its easier to do when you are younger but thats no reason not to start now. (you’re not that old)
It has to do more with your talent and work ethic than your age. There’s lots of different styles to play. Find something you like and then its a lot more easy to stick with it.

Of course it is. And who says that you have to play classical?

so then why do you want to learn the piano? you can learn anything you want to, at any age, but it seems to me that you aren’t interested in “piano” type of things.

Of course. You can learn any instrument starting at any age.
And why do you think you have to play classical music? If you like rock, learn to play rock. If you like blues, or country, or jazz, learn to play those styles. Its YOUR piano, learn whatever music YOU like best.

No it is never too late. If you want it bad enough you will be badass! how bad do you want it? If I wanted something I would practice, practice and practice even after I got good enough, because you can never be too good.

I have taught two seniors who have never had a lesson before. They did just as well as if they were 10 years old. It is NEVER to late to learn anything, especially in music. If you have a desire to learn piano, no matter what age, do it!!

You can learn piano whether you’re 17 or 70. Because you don’t have any musical experience, it’ll be a little frustrating in the beginning , but once you learn your chords, notes, and rhythms, trust me, you’ll be good. If and only if you practice hard enough.

Yes, this is definately possible, because I started taking piano lessons when I was 24. You should first find a good teacher, who also teaches theory as well as gives lessons.

Hey I’m 25 and I just picked up my piano lessons. It’s not really that hard unless you don’t have genuine interest in it.
Though it’s true starting young helps. But it’s not really a reason that you can’t start.
Anyway, expect any kinds of obstacles while playing and stay true to why you want to learn piano.
