I took piano lessons for over two years. Played at recitals, etc. Yet I never really grokked basic musical concepts like the "1" beat. I knew music was broken down into measures and has different time signature, but I never truly understood why the entire time I learned piano. It seems like other people just "get" these concepts, but I don't understand unless it's explicitly explained to me. Perhaps now that I have a better understanding from learning dance, learning an instrument would be more helpful? I've also heard learning tap dance can really help.
