Learning a musical instrument
Is it too late to start learning a musical instrument after the age of 30? Many of us have had the desire to play and enjoy music for a long time, but it never happened. Life's demands and priorities often took precedence. Now, I'm considering dedicating some time each day to learn and not necessarily become an expert, but simply enjoy the process. If there are any musicians here, could you suggest which instrument is easier to pick up? I'm thinking about a keyboard or piano. Also, is it feasible to self-learn by watching YouTube videos or taking online courses?
Why do you want to pickup something that's easy? Pickup something you genuinely wanna learn!
And no, it's never late to do anything

No, it's not late at all. You can learn a new instrument at any age. It takes about 5 years to to reach intermediate stage, and 10 years to become an expert at any instrument, given that you keep learning and practicing.
So you can start at any age, and that's your roadmap for the next 10 years.
And yes, you can learn piano from YouTube videos and also using step by step method books in parallel, like Alfred piano method or Faber piano method, and you can use apps like Piano Marvel on a tablet to judge your playing and help you practice.
Good luck and have fun! 😊👍🏽
