Nothing is easy. Anything you start will take work, and time. Don't start something and only put half your effort into it. Piano is no different. You can start at any time in your life, but what you want to do with it (make it a life career, etc.) may be a deciding factor for you too. You had a good point in an earlier posting about getting what you pay for. If you pay more for private lessons, that's not a bad thing. $10/ 1/2 hr instruction is about what you should be paying. Paying more means you may have stumbled on a great teacher. But less doesn't mean you don't. Ask questions. And check the internet on what to look for in a good teacher, no matter what instrument you choose. Good luck!

If you choose to learn piano or violin, the time and work you put in will make it easier as you go. Just like anything. One thing I was always taught by my best teacher was practice slow, steady, and often. You can learn anything.
