Question: Is 16 yrs!. old too late to learn how to play the harp!?
I have always wanted to play this instrument and I wanted one as a child but since it was too expensive my parents bought me a perepelochka!.!.!. which is a russian music box that has strings and is triangular shaped!. It is similar to harp but not quiete the same!. I love the music the harp makes!.!.!. although school has always been my first priority and i never have had time to play!.!.!. is it possible to play an instrument while keeping up with a life devoted mostly on sports and school !?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Absolutely not! It's not too late!.!.it depends on the person, if he would have great determination on playing his instrument!.!.like a friend of mine, he was 16 yrs!. old when he started playing the violin!.!.!.and 2 years later, he joined a national competition for young artists (in violin) he was the champion!!! while his opponents two years before were virtuosos, he was just playing twinkle twinkle stars! !.!.it's not too late!.!.really!.i tell you!.!.!. hope this advice would helpWww@QuestionHome@Com

Age is just a number, you are never to old to learn something new! (trust me)
I think the Harp is very sophisticated!.
Your life will probably be busy, but hey, its better than sitting home on the computer all day! I have faith in you! You can do it!!!
