Whatever solfege is, that sounds perfect! I’ve been learning how to sing too, after discovering how to use my voice as a baritone.
So you would suggest learning how to sing by the method of transcribing, and then to do the same thing with an instrument and just match up the two?

I can’t properly play any instruments yet, but even now I’m already notably better at recognizing and creating patterns. I can only imagine what this is like for a skilled musician

Woaaaaah!! This is exactly what I’m looking for.
Were you learning how to properly play the piano, messing around and then BAM, realized you’re playing that theme to brokeback mountain. Who are you just generally messing around, for several months or whatever, and then bam.
