Ok I will come clean. My unnatural pessimism could be because I am getting over a cold, and we all know how you feel then but,
I'm aware that many here are well versed in music theory and as I've stated in other threads I'm starting to dabble down that road. I drill myself in g cleff and now beginning bass cleff and recently ordered (arriving in a few days) musition theory software. I also have a keyboard I have obtained years ago (yep been wanting to get into music for years but only the uke now has spurred me on to do it).
Even with good theory software, is is reasonable to suppose I will get proficient in theory without formal lessons?
OK Whilst being ill I have searched on the net and found some complex stuff I wouldn't know where to begin with lol (the schoolboy error of turning to the last chapter of the textbook rather than reading it through!)
My plan is to use the theory them buy graded music and work alongside it....Am I being delusional lol?
Not askiing to be a classical pianist...get a high state of literacy and with self practice on an instrument proficient. IS the solo route viable?
