It’s Never Too Late

Written By Dan Burch

Sarah Phillips with The Guardian has written an excellent article on the benefits of participating in music no matter what age you are. “There is no age limit on learning,” says the singer-songwriter Billy Bragg, who lives in Dorset. “It is not a teenage thing. If you feel the music, you can probably play it and turn that feeling into something creative.”

According to Ms. Phillips, we are to do the following:

  • Listen Deeply

  • Pick Something Easy to Learn

  • Find a Teacher

  • Practice Hard But Don’t Obsess

  • Play With Others

  • Use Your Lungs

  • Don’t Worry About Messing Up

  • Write Songs for the Right Reasons

  • Accept that No One is Perfect
