Hi everyone, I've outlined the scope of this community in a separate post titled "Introduction - This Community & Its Purpose!". I suggest you read it if you haven't yet. This post is about getting to know each other better. For this reason we're asking each new member to answer a few questions. The purpose of these questions is not only to introduce yourself to the community, but also to share your experiences and aspirations in music. By understanding where we're each coming from, we can more effectively learn from each other, offer meaningful advice, and create collaborations. Remember, this is a community of diverse music enthusiasts, and everyone’s story and skills are valuable. The answers you provide will help build a solid foundation of understanding and respect, and will also assist us in tailoring the resources and discussions to meet everyone's needs and interests. 1. Could you please introduce yourself and tell us where you're from? 2. How long have you been involved in songwriting or music production? 3. What inspired you to pursue songwriting/music production? 4. How have you been developing your ear training skills so far? 5. What is one artist that has greatly influenced your work? Why? 6.
