Q: hey bill, i have always been interested in music & wanted to make/play it. i love listening to it & i find your music really cool & inspiring. you talk a lot about just starting if you want to make music/something creative & just doing it in your answers. anyways, i want to start making music but i don't have any knowledge in music theory beyond very simple concepts from elementary school which i have mostly forgotten, & i don't really want to learn music theory in a very systematic way (i.e. how it seems to be typically taught in classes, by starting with very basic things that are kind of boring and just playing a bunch of classical songs). do you think can you learn & create music just by listening to it?
A: yes
