You can if you set your heart to it. Music like anything needs practice to be good at. However, unlike some things,,,music takes a lot of time. You have to learn the notes, learn to read them, and then apply them to an instrument. Then you must be able to build skill on said instrument. I have been playing piano for 11 years which is more than half of my life. I still can’t master the art of sight reading. However, I joined band at school and play clarinet. I have only played for 3 years. Usually, I get about 125 hours in a semester, maybe more, and then practices after school, and then performances. This is about 400 hours in the past 3 years. Since then , I can play fluently, and I have won 2 awards. I have also played the music for West Side Story which is extremely challenging. So, depending on the amount of time, the person, and the type of instrument, I would say yes. I can play clarinet well and I have only played for 3 years, however, it only deals with the treble clef where piano deals with bass and treble and requires different skills.
