I found that kids being fully immersed in something is also age-related. It’s not just that they have more time than an adult with a job, they also have more energy in general and typically better focus. Plus they’re able to practice things for hours at a time without getting backpain etc.
Age-related but importantly not to do with their brains as that’s what everyone thinks is so important. “I physically cannot perform this task and my brain will refuse to learn it” is talk I’m specifically trying to avoid.
I’m a pretty solid mandolin player, at least for my nearly exactly two years of experience, and that comes from the fact that I lost my job nearly exactly two years ago, three days after buying my first mandolin.

Being less able to do it never meant that you’re unable to do it, it’s just harder.
