The Soapbox : No one ever talks that much about music around me.
Re: No one ever talks that much about music around me.
Do you mean here or in real life? Your classical musical knowledge is prodigious and most people aren't as up with it as you are, so maybe we feel a bit lost and have nothing worth adding to the subject.
Re: No one ever talks that much about music around me.
In real life.
So, like you must know by now, I did piano. My college had an afterschool program for children who played piano like 4 or 5 days a week. My private instructor actually taught it, and piano was my major instrument, along with doing other things like taking private organ lessons.
I feel it's become accepted that I've transitioned as a lost soul or something or other from piano to violin, as violin is considered more specific musically and more collaborative, in the making.
My piano instructor in college taught me more about perfecting simple technic/technique and things like how a line in piano is the same as an instrument in the orchestra or band playing the same song. Basically.
My organ teacher in high school sure beat around the bush for that choir all those years and is there doing it to this day, retired from teaching Talented Music in public schools in the area. Anyway, she taught me how to perfect my legato on organ or rather to eliminate it and be more detached. I did my pedal exercises faithfully, and I was all good and well, "up to snuff," as I like to say. She hinted me in on things and I was a whiz to pick it up. I got good at trills by the time I came back from college a year.
I wanted to take Music Appreciation in college when I was still in high school but only could take Art Appreciation. My dad kept boasting about Beethoven's 5th, "dun dun dun dun" having taken Music Appreciation. I took music history courses etc. myself as a music major and did speeches on it. I also did some learning of Music Education and even got to use it as one of my majors in music for awhile.

Re: No one ever talks that much about music around me.
Playing an instrument, and interest in music has been a big part of your life. I played the tenor recorder in the school orchestra and sucked at it. I love music, but I know I have no talent at playing an instrument. No matter how hard and how long I might practice, I haven't got the real inborn talent that you need to succeed. I can still enjoy other's expertise though.
Re: No one ever talks that much about music around me.
It's very true that highly accomplished musicians, singers, and whatnot enjoy feedback from people who don't play.
What highly accomplished musicians, singers, and whatnot don't enjoy is people who want to break into the field chasing after or clinging to them. It's a mystery, and it's history.
When a music professor told me to go away, I didn't and felt confused being rejected in college, and she said I was worthless. It makes me suspicious because I was just kicked out of singing, Vocal and Instrumental Music Education, and piano as a major instrument. That means they were up to no good. The Music Education teacher said I was "sneaky," like it was a coveted program in which I was unwelcome. I don't know for sure if they knew I loved my programs and the school. They said I was welcome to try another post secondary school, like another one in the same city. However, their program was "cuter." No one seemed to talk about it or have to think about it much at my level. My roommate pitched in that it was mean if [after I was accepted] for a year that their turning me down was wrong. She was an Education major, and they closed the Education program, when we were even encouraged, my class year in general, to minor in Secondary Education. I think what would be appealing would be to get a Bachelor's in directing for film. I know sometimes they have big people in the business cater to children in the field, as well. In fact, I decided the other day I should move to L.A. It would be a dream to move there when I was in New Orleans. I came home to Orlando, where we moved after Hurricane Katrina destroyed our house and New Orleans. I thought Disney filmed there, but they didn't film things like Pirates of the Caribbean there!
I think music as a skill or connection is an experience of transcendence to other forms of reality.

Likely because they don't want to give you an excuse to open that hole in your face and let the stupid out.
I'd hang you upside down and set your feet on fire just to watch you scream & twitch.
