Q: But I feel like if you have a good feel/timing you can probably get by without knowing all the rhythmic terminology and how all that stuff works. Learning to read notation, I think opens up more gig opportunities if you're a working, professional musician... Buts lots of musicians don't know how to read music, so I don't think that's essential for a beginner. I was thinking about getting into teaching, but I started so young that I have very little recollection of first learning.
A: teaching might be very frustrating for you
