When a Cognitive Scientist Picks Up a Guitar at 38
Ever been told you're tone-deaf? Unmusical? Hopeless at rhythm? Gary Marcus heard all of this-and he's a Harvard-trained cognitive psychologist who should know better than to believe it. Yet at 38, after a lifetime of musical humiliation (picture a fourth-grader butchering "Hot Cross Buns" on the recorder), he did something audacious: he decided to learn guitar from scratch. Not dabble. Not noodle around. Actually *learn*-with the rigor of a scientist conducting an experiment on himself. What he discovered challenges everything we think we know about talent, age, and the supposed "windows" for learning complex skills. His journey became a landmark in music education, now studied at Juilliard and Berklee, because it asks a question that haunts millions of us: Is it ever too late to become who we might have been?
