Well, I learned how to "split" my objects in the sequencer I use to make my music. This will help big time. i still haven't completely figured out how to rejoin them into one object (I can rejoin them, but they are linked together as two objects). also, I am learming to play the piano. It seems as though this will help me in making songs and being seen as a "legitamate" musician (now days the world does not see the computer musician as a musician. I don't know why, I suspect it is because with the computer you are not playing the actual instrument, but arranging the notes to be performed). Some day it will all be reversed. The computer will be the ultimate musical instrument.
