    Just to brag, but my ear training has gotten a lot better in the last 10 years. I can listen to music and confidently nail what the intervals and chords are. I spent my twenties thinking I'd missed my shot at that kind of fluency. Totally learnable with practice. Mad magic.

        Awesome! This is something I've been wanting to work at. What did you use to gain that fluency? Any tips/tricks?

        Playing a lot as an accompanist! and playing with other accompanists and having to be in sync. That and just learning a lot of pieces through trial and error.

        I started learning Japanese in my 30s and have a pretty decent level of fluency. What our takes is a willingness to put in the hours. I’m convinced that most adults simply lack the time, motivation, or both.

        How many epochs of training, and what was your loss function? 🤖

        That's encouraging! It's something I'm just starting to try to train myself on, too, and had some worries that doing it at this point in my life might be too late.

        That's encouraging to hear. My ear has gotten better with practice, good to hear it can keep improving

        This is really encouraging to hear. In my, ahem, late 40s and just started formal singing lessons for the first time.
