Why It’s Never Too Late to Learn
Unlocking the Joy of Music: A Beginner’s Guide for Adults
Learning to play music as an adult might seem intimidating at first. Perhaps you think, “I should’ve started as a kid,” or worry that your fingers aren’t nimble enough.
Let me assure you — those worries are misplaced.
I remember a good friend of mine who decided to pick up the ukulele at 55.
She was hesitant, claiming she had “two left thumbs,” but she took it step by step.
Starting with just five minutes of practice each evening, she focused on learning a single chord at a time.
Overcoming her initial struggles, she celebrated small victories — like mastering her first strumming pattern — and kept things lighthearted by picking cheerful songs her grandkids loved.
With a bit of persistence and her characteristic humor, she soon had a repertoire of songs that delighted her grandkids.

As adults, we bring patience, discipline, and a knack for setting realistic goals to the table — qualities that make learning music easier and, dare I say, more rewarding.
