I've found that self-studying music theory and ear training requires a structured approach. What methods do you think are most effective for beginners? Please share techniques for memorizing symbols, interval recognition exercises, and tips for scheduling practice sessions to stay motivated. I'm interested in both traditional and modern approaches, like using apps or group practices. What resources (books, online materials) help in better understanding theory? How often should I review material, and what mistakes should I avoid? Looking forward to your recommendations!

Thanks for the question! To start, I recommend doing 10-minute daily exercises: ear training using apps like EarMaster or Perfect Ear, reviewing sheet music, and writing down short melodies on paper—review the material every 2-3 days to avoid long breaks. Books like *Music Theory for Beginners* and online courses on Coursera are also helpful. What instrument do you already play so I can tailor the exercises to it?
