Musical education

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   After following (still do actually) the thread by Proglover about musical form, I started wondering whether I am not missing anything or not fully appreciating the music I listen to due to lack of musical education. I don't mean I don't enjoy it, get ecstatic or feel pleasure when listening to music I love. I just wonder, could I have an even better listening experience to music as someone who is trained and/or taught in the musical arts.  I learned to play the piano for 7 years but I don't feel it has given me any supplemental value when hearing music. I do know, however, to appreciate good playing and virtuosity. Tell us what is your take on this, musicians and non-musicians.
