I'm in the same boat, I started learning to play the piano/keyboard a couple years ago, along with studying music theory. I was already fairly fluent with the guitar (been playing as a hobby for a decade or so) but I yearned for the sound of the piano, its particular charm and expressiveness. Some of my favorite music are classical and jazz piano, and I wanted to learn how to write my own compositions in that direction. Partly due to the pandemic lockdown and social isolation, I was able to naturally develop a healthy daily habit, to regularly play the piano for an hour or two every morning. That time is so precious and pleasurable, to sit quietly and wander around on the keyboard, exploring musical ideas. In the evenings, I often read books on music theory. I have a dozen or so favorite books that are quite dense with knowledge, so I've been reading bits and pieces of them, re-reading certain sections for deeper understanding. For me, having a hobby is about the enjoyment and satisfaction I get from the act of play and creative expression, and sharing the joy with friends and loved ones. In particular, music helps me enter a sense of "flow", personally and socially. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)
