Learning music

[ZandraJoi]

I think the best way to learn is first, to have the willingness to learn as well as the desire. There are loads of books, videos people can read & watch. When I learn something, I tend to learn on my own but I do like having a one on one to help me when I get stuck. Some people prefer classes as that fits their personality better.

What helps you the most when you are learning music? Whether it is learning tips on how to write a song or playing an instrument.

I have written over 40 poems and all I can tell you is that you need to have some sort of inspiration to be able to write a poem. It's not something you just wake up and start doing. Your poems must be tied to where your inspiration comes from. As long as you still feel inspired, you will keep writing but the moment you lose your inspiration, it's going to be very difficult for you to write one poem.

I took piano lessons as a kid, but kids often lack self discipline, so for older people self-learning is better and I taught myself a lot on the guitar and drums, even tough, a lot I learned was not self-taught.

Anyway, as an adult, I find there are so many online tools (videos etc.) often free, that using them is the way to go.

A willingness to learn is certainly a major part to learning music.  The resources are better than ever and the tools are more accessible than ever, so it comes down to the person to really invest the time and motivation to learn.

Learning everything isn't easy.  Well, I've been trying to learn aspects of advanced linear algebra and it's incredibly difficult.  In fact, you have to find very specific online videos on it.
