Is 34 years old too late to cultivate musical talent?

-I've loved music since I was in preschool, it always soothed me. I have other interests though like science and literature, and spent my teenage years a nerd for science and literature, pretty much till my late twenties. I obtained 3 degrees by the age of 30 then I started to make a family. My daughter is 4 now, so I can relax a bit.

I've had piano and guitar classes in college, and dabbled in some voice lessons. I can play with both hands, but I cannot read musical notes. HOWEVER, I'm really good at improvising tunes on the piano out of thin air, or sometimes just humming novel tunes to myself, so I can basically "compose" something original, so to speak. I just never took this interest seriously enough, but I keep coming back to it. Music is like poetry to me. What should I do now? I can take piano/voice lessons at a nearby school, but should I do anything more? I began a list of my fav. singers/songs in order to study the styles I like. Right now, I'm a fan of Sting (all would envy) and Paul Simon (the sound of silence). Advise please, thanks. (I'm a university teacher of languages, and currently doing my MS in environmental science, that would be my 4th degree. No wonder I put music behind!)You are free, at any age, pursue your heart's desire! There are no limits!



Just think of Grandma Moses, who began to paint at seventy-six and became a famous artist. Not that you have to become famous, but anything is possible.
Honestly you are about 25 years behind the competition.

If you love music that much and want to make it even more fun, with a slight possibility of taking it farther than just the fun stage, then go for what you have time and money for.
Start by taking piano lessons and see where it leads you. Once you get into it you'll be able to figure out what you want to do with music or how you want it in your life.
no way, always remember that it is never to late to try something new.
You should go with it.
It's never too late to persue your dreams..whatever they may be!
