To me learning music is very similar to learning programming concepts. In the beginning it can all be very abstract and you don't immediately see how new concepts fit into the bigger picture. Until at one point along the way it suddenly "clicks" and it all comes together. I've witnessed several people experience their "aha" moment in programming and in music. Before that moment they struggle hard and some even lost motivation. After that moment they all started making progress fast. Having an instrument available helps and if you're interested in learning music I suggest starting to play and experiment. Don't think too much about the theory and the details. Just have fun, play along to your favorite songs. Dig deeper here and there when a subject piques your interest. And then someday that "aha" moment will arrive and a new world will open up.
