It's never too late to start learning your favorite songs! I have taught adult piano since 1990. I specialize in teaching chord vocabulary, keyboard harmony and 'geography', playing by ear, playing in all keys, and using a 'fake book'. My students are mostly interested in popular tunes, standards from 'tin-pan-alley' to Broadway and contemporary, blues and jazz.
