I have never learned to read or write music so I am not a virtuoso musician like the others you mentioned. I am completely unable to play like them because I never learned classical music, I just developed my own crazy style!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't have a classical-music mentality. I haven't been taught that way, and it doesn't fit my character, either.
Actually, I've had very little classical training, although I love listening to classical music very much.
I am not musically educated yet. I don't read - I make my own language that works for myself. But I play by ear.
In a way, I'm lucky that I was never classically trained and never went to a music college. I'm just from a normal working class family and happened to get obsessed with music as a teenager.
I never really trained to be a musician, but I've been playing guitar since I was around, like, 13 years old. For me, the guitar has always been the instrument that I've played. I play a little piano. I taught myself everything by ear. I don't read music at all, which has not really been a hindrance.
I'm not musically inclined. It blows my mind that people can write music. I don't have that talent; I look up to the people that do.
I was born out of classical music.
My mom had this romantic notion of her children playing classical music. The idea is you learn it when you're still learning language. It's using the same part of the brain.
I cannot listen to Beethoven or Mahler or Chopin or Bach when I write because those composers require you stop what you are doing and listen.
I don't play any instruments, but I do read a lot.
