10 Easiest Instruments To Learn Late In Life

1. Flute

A flute is a high-pitched tubular wind instrument that is often made with wood. Air is blown into the fipple mouthpiece and fingers are placed on the holes along the slender frame to produce sounds when they are moved in a coordinated manner with blown air. Flutes can be made with wood and they can be made with silver and even platinum; wooden flutes produce lower sounds but silver flutes produce higher pitches.

Just like a recorder, anyone can learn to play the flute regardless of their age. Children and aged folks can play it with ease once they set their minds to it. It requires an ear for music, mental concentration, and finger coordination. It can be played by blowing air into the tube and moving the fingers across the corresponding holes to derive different pitches of sounds. A flute is one of the easiest instruments to learn late in life for adults aged 55 above without any difficulty.
