I know I'm sounding like a music teacher, but my advice is learn music and learn music theory. Because once you learn music theory, you don't need anybody to teach you. You can figure things out for yourself. And the sky's the limit, there's no limit. … Byron Yasui
Byron Yasui is a professor of music theory at the University of Hawaii and a master of classical and jazz music.
