No.
Once you get over learning the notes, then you move on to key signatures and tempo, then you're off to playing pieces!

However, I'd recommend somebody starting from a young age. Four years old or so. That way, the mind's still young and it's easier to teach. As the person grows up, the musical knowledge just sticks automatically.

But if you're starting a little later, say...fourteen years old and older, you'd have a harder time getting the hang of it. Not to say that you never will, but it'd take some more time.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks in a day.
