Dear Isabelle,
Please follow the recommendations to learn to play piano. I wish someone
had told me that when I was your age. You will be a better singer and
all-around musician for it. Aptitude varies so greatly, I don't think
anyone can estimate how much practice and training it would take to become a
proficient sight-reader. Similarly, it is pointless to compare your present
learning speed to that you might have had when you were younger, because you
have to work with what you have now. If you can dedicate yourself to weekly
lessons and an hour a day to practice, you'll see steady progress. Get
going!
