I'm starting oboe this week and I personally think it's a beautiful instrument!. Now to answer your question, no!. Your never to old to learn to play an instrument!. It's something people want to do!. If you have the willpower and strength (not to mention the breath power) you can definitely do it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

hmmmm!.!.!.no, not too old, but maybe a little off in the head for asking!. You could learn to play every instrument in an orchestra before you're 30!. That is if you have the willpower and want to!.

I have a friend that has been trying to learn Guitar for 10 years!. It would help if he would pick up the instrument first!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i don't know about oboe but really, all learning how to play an instrument is about determination!. if you are determined enough, you can learn anything at any age!. i think it would probably be a little harder to learn, that's all!. and you are just 21 not old at all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Don't be silly of course you not too old!.!.!. Most people start off so young because they can take band at there school!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know someone who started violin at 50!. Good Luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
