I am really sorry i know this question has been asked a bunch of times before but usually the answer is like “try to find a friend who has an instrument!” Or “analyse music”, and while i would love to do so… i am either incapable of doing so (playing an instrument), or overwhelmed (learning to analyse music).
The issue that i am facing is that i live in a VERY strict household (think of the movie coco), and i do hope to move out someday but that may be years in the making; i just do not want to be a sitting duck in those years.
My goal is to hopefully compose music (sorry if this is not the right subreddit for so!), and from what i read its very difficult to do so without learning to play an instrument or to learn music.
I do use a DAW and do mess around from time to time, but i would love any tips/resources/lessons/etc. that you guys have to offer to help me in this time period so that i can improve whilst being unable to play
Thank you so much for your time
