A Career As a Musician Can Begin At Any Age Many careers sadly do have some kind of time limit to them. Starting out as a lifeguard aged 70 is highly unlikely to happen! However, if you wish to become a musician it is possible no matter what age you are. You just need the drive and some luck. Whether you are just a son, father or even a grandfather, it does not matter. Learning and music come fully equipped with no age limit. The more you play an instrument the more skilled you will become. Certain skills require you to be of a certain age to be the best, but with learning an instrument such as a guitar you can only keep getting better. As long as you practice often, especially if you can find time to every day, you will be able to accomplish a lot. The more you continue to play, the more you will be able to grasp harder songs and be able to accomplish more difficult chord combinations. Recently a man in his 60's just started his career as a guitarist in a band. How amazing to have lived a regular life as a suit and tie kind of business man, only to completely change direction aged 61. This man first started to learn how to play the drums, his first instrument choice, at the age of 13. His father was getting sick of the loud noise filling the house so suggested a guitar and they both never looked back. It has certainly paid off for him now changing his mind. Like many he was spurred on to play an instrument by listening and watching his favorite performers. Once older, he attended university and wanted to pursue a major in music, however there was no option to take one for playing the guitar. In the end he chose education instead. He became a teacher for three decades but music was still always his passion. During the time he spent teaching others, he did take part as a backing musician for many artists but wanted the spotlight to be his. After many years of this his big break came, and finally realized his dream of turning to his true love of jazz music. Releasing your own solo album at 61 and it becoming successful must be an even bigger achievement than doing so at 21. To think that people can appreciate your musical talent without regards to age and looks would feel incredible. No matter what age you are, why not pick up an instrument and give it a go? You have nothing to lose and lots to possibly gain.
