I bet you’re playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order
I've just completed a uni degree aged 55, having signed up at 49 and taken six years to complete a four-year course. I've recently started my master's degree.
I did reluctantly start a degree when I'd just turned 18, but quit within a few months.

That’s so good dude, well done. Imagine at 49 if you’d said ‘I can’t do this as I’ll be 55 when I finally get the degree’. If you had you’d still be 55 now but with no degree. A lesson for life.

Just out of curiosity, why did degree?
Are you planning to change careers or something?
Mid life crisis and you get a piano. Hardcore !
Only kidding, well done you. My Mum is a pianist and has taught all her working life and only gave up teaching aged mid 70s when covid hit. I did Grade 1 and got 100 (the minimum pass mark) and gave it up as i wasnt really interested aged 12/13, but i kinda regret it. Would be lovely to just sit down and rattle off any tune i fancyl How are you learning? Learning pieces of music or are you properly learning, music theory etc.
I'd quite like to learn the guitar but i have kids who now at an age when i am forever driving them around, a job that keeps me busy and a project of a house which takes up a lot of my weekends. Plus i'm lazy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
It all started when I went to this shopping mall in central Sydney where they just have a random piano and some guy just sat down and played the most amazing music and it triggered some age old desire to entertain so that got the ball rolling and then just randomly on TikTok the algorithm showed me so many very simple tunes played by placing numbers on the keys and it looked a lot more simple than I thought and quickly learned some basic movie scores (the Interstellar one was learnt in 2 mins).
Now I’m trying to learn from YouTube tutorials but I work with someone who can play to a fairly high level so if the YouTube one doesn’t work I’ll hire them. I’ll never be a concert pianist but just being able to play to a relatively decent standard will be more than enough.

all i got from this was that it took you 50% longer than it should have
I took up snowboarding aged 40... been a painful but amazing experience and now go three times a year.
I broke 8 ribs over two seasons and then my collar bone though, so not without it's risks!

Not sure if the question is why a degree or which degree.
I've done English Studies here in Spain.
I did hold lesser teaching qualifications prior to that and have taught privately and through language schools since the mid '00s.
Once I've done the master's degree, I'll be fully qualified to teach in the formal secondary and upper education systems.
I'm basically just looking to bump up my eventual pension by making bigger social security contributions than I've been able to afford as a self-employed worker.

What do you learn in English studies and how do you teach it? Did you get to go on field trips down to some resorts in Tenerife to observe the English first hand?
"Look Pablo, that one just ordered a pint of Carling instead of the much cheaper and better local beer. This is one of the key things you need to learn in order to be English".
"Sir, why is that one sitting moaning at thin air? That is because there is nothing to moan about, they are moaning at that, Juan."
It must be very difficult to teach someone how to be English when they have not grown up that way.
So as a man in my early 40s I’ve done something crazy and bought a piano and am now learning to play.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not before time. Tbh, I think there's some on here who have always had you down as a bit of a pianist.

I started a degree about 16 years ago and never finished it. Actually hoping to complete it using The open university in the next few years.
Learned a couple of languages, currently learning sign language which is so frikking difficult

If you have a keyboard or an electronic piano, you don't have to worry about tuning, restringing, humidity etc. You switch it on and it's the same instrument it was yesterday, which guitars often aren't; they're as changeable as people are. And you don't have to worry about keeping your fingernails just right. The big advantage guitar has is portability.
If I had a piano, I'd love to just sit watching people show me how to play R.E.M., Radiohead, Lana Del Rey songs etc and then just keep doing it till it sounded good.
The grass is always greener, Clockwork. I've played the piano all my life (and love the instrument) but I've always envied guitarists. The guitar is portable, which would have been handy when I was moving from country to country in my 20s, and there are certain textures and chords that sound incredible on a guitar but fairly ordinary on a keyboard instrument.
As to the OP, great that you've started learning, Robb. I fancy having a stab at another language, but slightly daunted by the idea. I know from experience that it's a hard slog, and one's brain isn't wired for the job in one's 40s as it is as a youngster. Moreover, the language I kind of want to learn is Korean!
