I am 61 and find that few are interested in teaching people my age.

I find that odd.
Young people can learn faster but older people retain what they learn
and usually put in more time than kids do.
I would much rather teach an adult than a 12 year old.
I'm teaching a 45 year old woman how to play a keyboard and she knew
nothing about music or playing.
I have only been teching her for a few months now and she is already
working with a band.
