I began playing when I was 5 and no I won't tell you how old I am now, just lets say I'm over 50 . I reconnected with a teacher several years ago just to polish my technique and add new ideas and work on some bad habits and it's been a wonder. I've learned more and developed more and enjoyed it more than I did when I was younger. Keep up the good work and practice, practice, practice!
