This section I will share my strategies to achieve my goal.
Learning 20 Instruments: Rethinking What “Learning” Really Means
At a glance, when I say that I want to learn 20 musical instruments, people immediately interpret it in different ways. Each person forms their own perception. Some ask: does it mean learning to play scales on 20 instruments? Others wonder: is it simply playing a single note on each instrument? Or is it about casually playing a few tunes and posting them on social media? Or does it mean producing a world-class album?
This leads to a deeper question: how do we measure learning? Can it truly be quantified?
For me, Phase 1 is about the joy of sharing. My goal is to produce casual performances, share them with the world, and use the audience’s feedback to guide my growth.
Once Phase 1 is complete, I’ll be aiming higher: the creation of a world-class album featuring my own live instrumentation.
For many people, learning to play an instrument remains a dream. A few attempt it and succeed, while others keep postponing it indefinitely. My decision to take on a large number of instruments as a personal resolution is rooted in a deeper understanding of how learning works—specifically, how neural networks and perceptron-based learning function.
This understanding comes from my personal experience as a Windows application developer, web application developer, and mobile application developer, working across multiple programming languages as a full-stack developer. Through this journey, I noticed a consistent pattern.
At first, when you encounter a new programming language or technology stack, it feels completely foreign. After a couple of weeks of learning, it becomes something like a distant acquaintance. As you continue writing code and begin working on real projects, that language gradually becomes familiar and intuitive.
Before the AI era, becoming a full-stack developer—understanding multiple layers of a system and specializing in each—required tremendous effort. I have seen many highly skilled colleagues with strong programming abilities, and it constantly reminds me of how powerful the human mind truly is. Every human being has the ability to think logically, adapt, and learn complex systems.
This made me ask an important question: what if we applied the same level of effort and learning discipline to a different field? Shouldn’t the results be similar?
For the brain, learning is fundamentally about inputs, repetition, and adaptation. It does not distinguish between programming languages and musical instruments. The human brain is a multipurpose biological computer—far more powerful than we often give it credit for.
And yet, we consistently underestimate it.
