I Love Music, But I’m Not Musically Inclined

The title of this episode, dear listener, is an actual sentence an adult man said to me recently. We were talking about what was preventing him from performing music, despite the passion he has for listening to it. Like a lot of people, he had internalized the belief that he was missing something, some innate talent or capacity that enables other people to make the music he loves. With love, he is 100% wrong, and if you believe something similar about yourself, well, you’re wrong too! This time, I want to talk about why the process of learning music can feel so intimidating, and how much your life can change if you give yourself permission to start.
