“Well, when I was young, I was surrounded by people who spoke English. I was probably hearing it even before I was born. So, since I’ve heard people speaking English every day of my life, it was easy for me to pick up because it was always around.”
(pg. 24 The Music Lesson by Victor Wooten)

Because you’re surrounded by English, you learn it very quickly.  You learn any language more quickly by being immersed in it.

You don’t need to constantly be ‘practicing’ either.  You practice part of the time, but also constantly hear it.

Music can be understood as a language too.

When you learned to speak, you were also surrounded by people who had already mastered the language- people who spoke fluently.

So you should try and surround yourself with great musicians and great music.  Learn from them.  Just be humble and show respect when you do.
