Song of Music

Music is Red, Music is Blue; Music erases distance between I and You.

Music is Gentle, but it can be Loud; Music is sunrays, Music is cloud.

Music is ever new, yet from ancient age; Music is the one and only Universal language.

Seawaves have rhythms and hearts have beat; Music exposes the truth, Music can also tell about betrayal, lust and cheat.

Music can be soothing, Music can be fierce; Music make you Goosebumps, Music shatter you in tears

Music is healing, Music is tragic; Music is the manifestation of Universe's magic.

Music is emotion, Music is rage; Music is pure soul without a cage.

Music is my Love, Music is my craze. Music makes up my blood and flesh

Just like a coloring book. I drawn the outline of lyrics. You paint it with your own colour.

The Belur RKM's TV and Radio repairing course as strict age limit. I have some basic knowledge of analog electronics (Did a 1 year diploma course from Moulali Yuva Kendra roughly about a decade ago though their training wasn't up to date and they never handed over the certificate). I still need the knowledge to build or apply oscillators, filters, equalizers, distortion pedals, looper pedals, touch and pressure sensors, logic gates, microcontrollers (Especially MIDI controllers), etc. especially focused to audio and music equipments. Most importantly they should teach the code names of the parts very well so that I can just by seeing the serial number I can tell the pinout or series of a transistor etc, or can confidently communicate the radio stores about what specific ICs/transistors/mics etc I need. Many thanks in advance.

I'm adult (~40) and cannot afford costly institutes like Calcutta School of Music or Western boards like ABRSM, Trinity, Berkeley etc. Does RBU has age limit for regular degree courses in western instrumentals? If yes, then are there other diploma or degree courses in the said domain? Orgs like Pracheen Kala Kendra Chandigarh or Sarbabharatiya Sangeet o Sanskriti Parishad does not have any course or curricula or exam in Western, up to best of my knowledge. and I searched NPTEL-SWAYAM but there isn't any. Many mant thanks in advance for any effort.

I'm feeling unwell, hpeless anxious confused puzzled. My life is a hot mess. And so much burnout and fatigue.

The utter disbelieve, shock, unsolicited advice, cure talk, "try it harder" or "defy, overcome" or "you have to set up an inspiration for others" talk, "change your doctor" talk, "everyone has been called unusual at some point of life" talk, has become unbearable. By clinical definition I'm not on the too high function range. My features are quite immediately visible on plain interaction, and according to ISAA (a very strict, deficit based and stereotypical Autism screening tool specifically used in India), my features belong somewhere at the borderline of mild and moderate severity. People instantly recognize their discomfort in my awkward presence, sometimes they just form a different circle while they talk or interact with each other, avoids sharing me contextual or sensitive "common knowledge" of places, but they just don't know or don't want to know these are due to Autism.

Headphone recommended, in low to moderate volume.

I am a budding musician - composer, and learner from India. I compose/ improvise using MuseScore, MIDI, a basic electronic keyboard (Casio MA 150), and acoustic guitar. I paint the cover art by hand (Usually acrylic). I am eager to know if my art form is welcome in this community. Some of my recent past works are available through my profile activity.

Many thanks in advance and loads of love.

NOTE 1: Critical views and dissent are welcome. I expressed a POV and its more like a sandbox of thought, and I'm learning more and more.

NOTE 2: I couldnt edit the question title. The question reads better with 'could' instead of 'should'. I thank the user who spotted the miscommunication. I am a non-native English user and I tend to make a lot of grammatical or semantic errors.

Generally music especially western music is conventionally taught as a copy work, where the student has to gain some fluency in copying some scale patterns, etudes, and songs.

But what if it is taught in an entirely different way? What if we develop the "copying" skills at a later stage; and take a more impressionist approach to sounds and colours?

Also, if I was a music instructor, I would be giving tasks like these:

1. Take a nursery rhyme and put your own tune to that.
2. Pick up a scale (say C major single octave) and play it in a rhythm of a nursery rhyme or song.
3. Take a known song of plain rhythm and replace it with a swing or waltz rhythm.
4. Take a song which is in a major scale (Suppose C major), and convert all the notes into its parallel minor (C, D, Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb) and see how the song sounds like.
5. Identify notes of a car horn or bird or an ambient sound.
6. Play some notes simultaneously and tell how it feels (Happy or sad, warm or cold, etc. Answers can be subjective).
7. Play a note on a guitar and find the same note on a piano or a keyboard.
8. Play a C note and find which note resonate wity it the most and which note resonate the least. And which notes are in between. The next C, the G, the A, and the F#.

Etc. etc.

I would put more importance on mindfulness, ear-based learning, creativity, curiosity, experimentation at first. Then gradually accuracy and fine motor skills could be introduced.

What are your view on this?

Context: Today a stranger appreciated one of my contribution and initiated a DM where we had some conversation about academic likings. After he wrote 'Bye'; I replied with 'Bye ❤️❤️❤️'. He wanted to know my gender, I replied I keep my personal identity anonymized. And all of a sudden the user became annoyed and told me to not act in a creepy manner. I apologized but things were not solved. When I tried to explain I used the symbol in good sense (General well-wish); the user wrote me to not explain the matter and not interact him ever in future.

I am Not new to internet, and I am a bit chatty. But I have difficulty 'reading the room', both in real life and in online spaces especially when there are lot of nuances or rules, or when they vary across different forums and internet cultures. I am also not updated with ever-evolving symbolic meanings of emojis.

My question:

1. Is it a specific preference of that user? Or it is a general internet ettiquette violation? Should I avoid ❤️ emoji in posts and comments too?

2. Is it reddit specific? (I know more serious places like official emails or question answer websites where emojis are absolutely forbidden in most context.)

3. Whether these kind of miscommunications and misunderstandings are common across internet, and how to cope up with their emotional impact? (For example, in facebook, which I no longer use, a very old post appeared due to a glitch, but the moment I liked it, its original poster started to suspect as if I am stalking his account).

Many thanks in advance and apology for any inconvenience caused unknowingly.
