maybe when you learn the technicalities of playing you lose the love of wild sound in the same way
In music it is a little different, because there are differnt types of listening. Analytical listening and casual listening. Dont worry if you dont know an instrument, but it would be good to know the background of music at least. Piano is something easy to learn. You can do it online and it helps you to understand the ins and outs of music!!
