I've always been someone who found listening to music important (my father's hobby). 3 kids in elementary school went to 'music school'. I found them posh. I tried once, tagging along, but I guess my ADHD-like symptoms didn't work out (NB: ~quarter of century later I got an autism diagnosis). I also found the teacher very authoritarian. That's the thing: if people were friendly with me they could reach for the stars, but that cold authoritarian method just didn't work with me. Fast forward a few years, I wanted to get into producing music in the 90s, but I could never understand how to connect a synth to something else. I didn't know which cables I needed, what they'd cost, etc. No (IRL) network about music production. Failed. I consider my story being the nemesis of yours. Kudos!
