Hello everyone! I’m 14th years old, and I started in summer to play piano because I started to listen on Mozart. I liked him so mutch that I started with piano. My mum can piano very well, pluss I have a teacher too. When I read about many famous people and composers, ALL OFF THEM start when they are 6, 5 etc. I feel that I have started too late  . Is it too late to be very good? Bye bye, must go too bed. Hehe! Bye!

Welcome Wolfi. If you check out the FAQ section this question has been answered before. If you are considering a life of concertizing, then you may be a little late. However, I believe there are some who started late and were still successful concert pianists. But, if you're interested in playing piano to enjoy music, then don't worry about your age and just practice, learn, and enjoy yourself. By the way, your English is excellent, your parents should be proud. Jon If Mozart is God, than Schumann, Mendelssohn, Chopin, etc must be angels sent by him to inspire us.

Remember this Wolfi, George Gershwin started playing piano at 10 and look what he accomplished in his short life. It is never too late to dedicate yourself to pursuing something you love, just enjoy and stay focused on your goals.

All it means to start at age 14 is that you have 50, 60, 70, or more years to get good.
