An 89-year-old pianist just passed his Grade 3 exam – proof you’re never too old to learn

Jack Skelland has just passed yet another graded piano exam, ahead of his 90th birthday in July. Here’s proof it’s never too late to learn a musical instrument…

Jack Skelland passes ABRSM Grade 3

Recently, I received an email inquiry that kicked off with,

"I am a total beginner, I cannot read music and I am old"

We had an absolutely delightful first lesson, and I discovered this person is full of energy, has nimble fingers, is a quick learner, and is... 82 years young!

This same month, I also had the pleasure of a first lesson with a bright 5-year-old.

I find this incredibly exciting and inspiring! So many people think that if they didn't start when they were a small child, there's no point. But in reality, I have numerous adult students who gain immense satisfaction from learning and make remarkable progress. They tend to practice with such dedication!

So, whether you're 5 or 85, does it really matter? Music can be something that challenges, engages, and stretches you in countless ways.
