I think this is actually a good thing, though... you have something real you are trying to do, which guides you to what you need to learn.
I find it is a lot easier to learn in the pursuit of something I actually want to accomplish rather than studying in a vacuum.
So your approach, for example, is better than if you had just picked up a book on key and time signatures and started reading. You first tried to do something, ran into something you didn't know, so started to learn that thing.

- wallflower 6y agoI’m curious if you have heard about Gnu Solfege. I just read about it here recently via the recent “Ask HN: I'd like to learn vocals, any suggestion on how I can do this?” https://www.gnu.org/software/solfege/ https://www.gnu.org/software/solfege/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23359096 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23359096
- hymnsfm 6y agoNo I haven't yet. Thanks for making me aware of it and pointing me to that thread.
