I started nearly four years ago at age 57. I thought it would be a nice hobby. It's not: it's a hard road with no ending but well worth it. Playing music with others is the most joyful thing (for me) - 57 wasted years, but making up for lost time. You have to practise, and think about how to practise. And be honest - "oh that'll do" won't work. A teacher is essential but they can't actually teach you, you have to teach yourself. The teacher just helps you do that. And as a late starter, I often play with returners my age. I have the advantage that I don't have a vague memory of a) being better once and never getting back to that standard and b) knowing my limits. Enjoy!
