I played woodwinds instruments including clarinet, flute and tenor sax as a kid. I played in the marching band, a jazz group and orchestra throughout high school. It stopped when I graduated and I've only picked up a sax once in the past 35 years.
I took up piano about 3 years ago, something I always wanted to play since I was a kid. I am now working on jazz standards using a fake book and am also working on several Joplin rags and just completed learning my first Chopin Nocturne Opus 9 no 2. Its been a blast, all you need is a piano. With virtually all other instruments it is more fun to play in a band/orchestra.
The reason I posted is that I suspect there are others out there like me that always want to learn to play the piano, it is a most rewarding endeavor. If you do, don't hesitate and no, you're never too old!
