Started about 6. I can't really remember how old I was when I did Grade 1. I think I was 8 cos i never practised haha! Then Grade 2 nearly two years ago. Grade 3 four months after that. Grade 4 nearly a year ago, and I'm doing Grade 5 in November. So I was a bit slower than some people.

Started aged about 12. Stopped a year later having made virtually no progress aged about 13. Can't remember the exact dates.


Re-started after not touching a piano for about a quarter of a century aged almost 38. First exam grade 5 aged almost 39 after three terms or thereabouts.
