Quote by Vanessa Carlton
My mom would give me a piece to play, but I wouldn't do any theory because when it came time to do it I would sneak back upstairs and watch TV. So, I had these kind of nonchalant lessons for years, then it just started soaking in.
Summary
This quote highlights the speaker's approach to learning music. Despite not being diligent with theory lessons and choosing to watch TV instead, the person's ability to play the assigned pieces gradually improved over time. The quote suggests that through passive exposure and without much conscious effort, the knowledge and understanding of music began to effortlessly "soak in." It implies that learning can sometimes occur organically and indirectly, even when not actively engaging in traditional forms of study or practice.
