It has been my experience that most people who are self-taught do not play well. They almost always play with very poor quality.
The hardest thing about learning as an adult is disciplining yourself to daily practice. When you have a JOB and/or FAMILY, it is harder to commit yourself to sit down 30 minutes per day (or more) to practice ... to build the skills that are required to play the piano.
My jobs keep me from practicing as I should. I am glad that I learned what I did as a child and as a teenager.
If you want to learn as an adult, get a good teacher. Take a lesson once a week. And practice at least 30 minutes per day between lessons.
