A friend of mine had been playing guitar since the age of 7, and was a prodigy, so I thought it was too late for me... Looking back on it, it is pretty obvious that I could have become a great player, EVEN if I was FOURTEEN! :) Now, at 28, I have a passion for clarinet, and I will be beginning lessons in Montreal in 2009. I won't tell myself that "I should have", looking back on it when I'll be 82. Thanks Tracy!

I really enjoyed getting inspired by your blog! I'm nowhere near you--- I'm in Redwood City, CA -- but I can relate to teaching adults. I'm starting an adult piano class at home in Jan. (I've done about 5 classes at home before).I also started classes at a senior center. Teaching adults is great .. Thank you and carry on! --Anne Hi, Tracy!

Thanks a lot for the insight Tracy, and I think this may be a similar situation with a lot of teacher out there. If you're a music teacher, how much of your students are adults compared to youth?
