During my time in elementary school and middle school, I was never given the opportunity to take music classes due to extra help classes taking elective space. It wasn't till I got High School, Junior year that I was able to take my first music class. In that one year and only that year was I able to learn some basics such as the major and minor scale, and a few other things here and there. I had been making beats for just one year when I took that music class. Now it's two year later and I believe the change is INSANE. Have a listen (at the link above)
