That was really a stupid statement of that teacher...
Yes, I took lessons from age 6 to 19.
I give piano lessons myself now (a few, freelance), and my oldest student is 70. I would never say to anyone that they are too old. It takes longer, you need a lot of patience, but at the same time it‘s the best brain training you can imagine, particularly rewarding for the elderly, even if they won‘t reach the level of giving concerts or such.
