music can include various things, not just learning an instrument (music main)

• These are *non-expert* ideas on how progression/rounded development might work. People study and write books on this, which I have not read.
• The order of these is debatable. Maybe best to mix them, to different levels in small increments/simultaneously..?
• Listening & appreciation
• There is of course no substitute for regular, sustained practice over time. I had to do an hour before breakfast daily for some years and am *very* grateful.
• Organ tips/some instruction (For those who have had piano lessons / can play basic hymns. Some of this could be integrated with other music notes.) organ main
• basic skills
• reading music: the method books and printed music of many kinds, exercises (like "dozen a day", hanon) etc
• ear training main
• improvisation (playing by ear), maybe starting with some ear training at least
• theory, even the basics
• being able to observe & affect the mood, or have influence through music, in a live situation
• learning to use fakebooks (dif't styles)
• composing / songwriting (main)
• conducting
• recording (some do)
