I'm a 44 year old man and I would love this - for years I've tried to dabble with music with much lack of success - but this looks really fun to play with. Great job.

The problem with music is you can't dabble. You need to dedicate half an hour per day for a few weeks before you reach the point where you are not terrible. You need years of dedicated practice before you can call yourself good. Finding that time is hard. Still making your own music is run and so I encourage you to press through.

Not trying to get good is a liberating step. I never was and never will be good at music, but it’s still fun to play loud punk-ish tunes on a guitar, or twiddle the knobs on a faux-303, none of which requires years of your life.
