I’m 16 now I played from age 6-8 when I stopped I was at a grade 3 level. I only stopped because my piano teacher stopped teaching. I love piano and am willing to work really hard. Do you think it is possible to get to a grade eight level?
Of course! You have the rest of your life ahead of you, and it is awesome to have a hobby that you love to work on in your free time. I am a piano teacher and I have several adult students– some used to play piano when they were younger and are restarting lessons years and years later and others are learning piano for the first time ever. They are some of my best students because they have a genuine interest in learning and are willing to dedicate time to practice during the week.
You are already off to a great start because you already have a few years of piano experience. You might need to do a few weeks of review at your first lessons, but then you can go from there and keep growing in your musical skills! Don’t feel like you have to quit piano when you graduate from high school… if you are planning on going to college, most colleges allow students to take lessons there even if you are not a music major. Just make sure to ask if you’re interested and they will be able to give you information! The best of luck to you!!
