Okay, I'm nearly 77. Never picked up a clarinet in my life until age 70. I never played anything in high school band (I did take piano lessons at age 40 to the 3rd book which helped me learn to read music).

At age 73 I started playing in the local community band, and if I do say so, I hold my own against almost any of them. I consider the main reason for that is that I practice every day for at least 45 minutes to an hour, while most of the others do not pick up their instruments between rehearsals.

A very good motto is, "Perfect practice makes perfect".
