I recently started learning piano, and I’m still in that early phase where I’m trying to get the basic movements right and learning a few simple pieces.
My real long-term motivation, though, is to eventually make my own songs and music. Right now, it honestly feels beyond me that people can just create music. I can’t even picture how that works.
I’m especially impressed by people who can play things by ear—it feels like actual dark magic to me. Because of that, I used to think I was tone-deaf, but I did a quick online test and apparently I’m not (or at least not as much as I thought).
Anyway, I’m still pretty lost when it comes to music, but I really want to get better.
