I was 17. I started when I was 9. Wished I'd done it slightly younger, so that it didn't get in the way of A levels, which definitely suffered as a result.

I took it in 1981. (I don't know what the stats were like back then, but very few people played the piano at school. I was the only one in my year group to pass Grade 8, although I was aware of other children locally at private schools who had taken it as young as 13).

At the rate I'm progressing, at least 10 years older than I am now!

I was (and am) 24, started when I was 13. I took a 3 year break between 2006 and 2009 and then pretty much picked up where I left off, working towards Grade 5.
