Learning without making money does not shield you from copyright violation, otherwise public school teachers would just start saving money by copying whole texts. We don’t live in a society where it’s okay for an 8 year old to say “but I’m just trying to learn, I’m not a business!”
And making new music which is a synthesis of your life experience with copyrighted music does not mean copyright violation, regardless if you’re making money or compensating all the authors who’ve inspired you.

Except in the most NIMBY HOA-driven areas of the culture nobody expects a kid setting up a lemonade stand to get a business license or submit to health code inspections.
