It’s often said that we learn things at the wrong time University students frequently do the minimum of work because they’re crazy about a good social life instead Children often scream before their piano practice because it’s so boring They have to be given gold stars and medals to

be persuaded to swim, or have to be bribed to take exams But the story is different when you’re older

Over the years, I’ve done my share of adult learning At 30, I went to a college and did

courses in History and English It was an amazing experience For starters, I was paying, so there

was no reason to be late – I was the one frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round Indeed, if I could persuade him to linger for an extra five minutes, it was

a bonus, not a nuisance I wasn’t frightened to ask questions, and homework was a pleasure not a pain When I passed an exam, I had passed it for me and me alone, not for my parents or my teachers The satisfaction I got was entirely personal

at relating one thing to another What you lose in the rust department, you gain in the maturity

eventually get there

I hated piano lessons at school, but I was good at music And coming back to it, with a teacher who could explain why certain exercises were useful and with musical concepts that, at the age of ten, I could never grasp, was magical Initially, I did feel a bit strange, thumping out a piece that I’d played for my school exams, with just as little comprehension of what the composer intended as I’d had all those years before But soon, complex emotions that I never knew poured out from my fingers, and suddenly I could understand why practice makes perfect
