People always talk about musical prodigies, I’m way more interested in late bloomers. And that’s partially because I am one - I did start learning piano around 5 or 6, but didn’t take it seriously and basically had to be forced to practice for 20 minutes a day by my mother. I only started putting any effort in around 19, which is supposed to be after the cut-off point but clearly isn’t since I got into one of the most competitive music programs in the country. But, again, 19 wasn’t anywhere near my first exposure to learning and playing music.

Now I have heard about other people like me, who were exposed to music at a young age but weren’t serious players until they were older - Wes Montgomery didn’t play the guitar until age 20 for instance. But are there any masters who didn’t have any musical training until their teens or later? Traditional wisdom says the cutoff point is very young but I’m curious if anyone knows any counterexamples.

I’m no prodigy, but definitely a late bloomer. I started playing piano at age 10 but didn’t start taking it seriously until I was a sophomore in high school where I also took an interest to orchestra which got me to pick up the cello. I started taking cello lessons halfway through sophomore year and when senior year rolled around I decided I wanted to go to music school. The Kabalevsky Cello Concerto in G Minor was the piece I chose to audition with, it was certainly way above my level but I was determined to learn it and so did. My audition couldn’t have gone better, which was shocking considering how stressed I was. Two weeks later I got an email saying I’ve been accepted as a cello performance major! I shed actual tears of joy! At the end of the year I was even able to perform it with the orchestra and everything. It’s something I’ll never forget, it’s an amazing feeling when you can look back and see how far you’ve come and how all your hard work is worth it ! TL;DR: DONT LET ANYONE TELL YOU ITS TOO LATE! LATE BLOOMERS DESERVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF LOVE AND CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING!!

i guess i have a similar story…

i started playing french horn in fifth grade band and absolutely HATED it. i struggled through middle school with it, only sticking with it because i didn’t want to join choir. my freshman year of high school, i was immediately placed as last chair in our schools lowest band. rightfully so; i couldn’t even play a Bb scale. i almost quit that year, but i got so frustrated with being looked down on that i decided i was going to practice. solo and ensemble came up and i somehow placed best in site, despite being known as one of the worst musicians in the school. from then on people’s opinions of me changed, and winning that lit some sort of spark in me. throughout high school I practiced an unhealthy amount, and my senior year i placed first chair in the highest band, a difference of over 20 people (5 bands in my school, around 5 horn players in each). now this year will be my first year as a performance major at my dream school, and i cant imagine what my life would be like if i didn’t fall in love with my instrument 4 years after beginning it.
