how did you teach yourself music?
it seems like it taught itself to me. i have experimented a huge amount on my own, and been learning things for my entire life. and as far as notation and terminology, i picked up on it very easily from a very young age, and made quick and accurate assumptions easily, and any time anyone told me any information it always stuck, and usually led to me discovering other related things correctly. i don't know why it has come so easily for me
