Q: the one problem i have with the 'spend time with the keyboard/instrument' method of learning music is that i have no idea if i'm doing it right, if i'm making progress, etc. I think it's a great idea, but i feel so ungrounded and uncertain when doing it, which is probably not a good thing
A: search for ways to enjoy yourself, within the instrument. if that feels too trapped, then it's also good to sandwich that in with non-instrument things
