Thanks for sharing! I also love how ear training leads to intuition that does not hinder, but helps creativity.

Love it how I knew that Ra is going to be the next TG hero about a month ago XD

Thanks for sharing your musical journey I love what you said about the development of intuition. I think that I am feeling that too. Wishing you all the best !!

@Benjamin Jack 100%! It’s wild to me that there’s a story out there that knowing more or gaining more skill makes you less creative. I think, as long as we leave behind “right and wrong” when we’re creating, learning is only positive.

Thanks @Kathy Anderson ! I’m impressed by the dedication it took you to get to diamond. It’s a big jump from gold to diamond 🫥

Thanks @Ra Wilson.. When I look back on it - it is just one day at a time and I slowly - sometimes feels like very slowly make progress!

@Ra Wilson I think so... or it may have been on an older discussion that I was reading.

@Kathy Anderson I simply cannot do it one day at a time. its too slow and boring for me. While I do the daily workout every day, I don't really make goals to level up every single game.

@Ivan Maloletkin I think that that is something that is worth working on for music and even just life, doing things that is hard, monotonous, boring, and just straight up pain are often the only way to become truly proficient.
Eventually you will build up your tolerance for hard things and you can impress everyone around you (or employers😉)

@Benjamin Jack for me its easier to procrastinate then just do everything in 25 hours... idk its just what i do most of the times, and will probably end me in college.

@Ivan Maloletkin Everybody is different I am at the other end of life and getting back to music has required consistency. The rewards have been big for me - writing my own songs. Starting to play with others Sometimes it is a journey !
