Hello everyone,

I am Simone, I am 46 years old and I haven't played for many, many years; I took private lessons at the age of 20 for about 2 or 3 years, I don't remember exactly now, then due to circumstances that I won't go into detail about here, I had to interrupt my studies, but anyway I have always been musically gifted.

With this pandemic situation, working from home, I started playing the piano again and the passion suddenly reignited, so I would like to start studying again.

Given how I am made, if I don't set a goal it is difficult for me to concentrate, so I was thinking of enrolling in a music school perhaps associated with some conservatory. Do you think it would be possible to undertake an 8-year pre-academic course? Or am I too advanced in age? I don't know much about the reform that affected the conservatories; if anyone can advise me, I would be grateful.

Thank you all

You must inquire at the Conservatory where you would like to enroll. It is not certain that it will be Rome. I believe things change from institute to institute. As a private student, if anything, I advise you to be followed by a Master and not to undertake "do-it-yourself." A good music school in the capital can help you.
