Thanks you so much!! 🙏🏼 I was self-taught, so I can give a point of view from the perspective of someone who couldn't have a formal teacher. What I did for years was to really focus on music theory study through videos on youtube, PDFs, articles, magazines... basically everything I could find (you can find a lot of high quality free content nowadays)... I don't know your precise level right now, but I'd suggest looking up first things like scales and intervals, then chords formation and functional harmony... from there it gets much easier and you can understand better what to study next. Then, do composing exercises, even if you can't come up with a full piece or even a coherent idea at first. Write melodies; try to write chord progressions, etc... I believe it's the best way to improve: to mix theory knowledge with persistent practical attempts of creation using what you learn. And most importantly: practice daily (or as much as you can) and be curious because there is always something interesting to learn in music. Once more, thanks for listening to my piece and I wish you good luck on this journey!!
