This is the approach I took when learning Clojure. I started diving into the language and then stopped everything to learn Scheme. It was painful because I really wanted to be doing Clojure. When I finally got back to Clojure I think that it helped out a ton. Cons, car and cdr oh my!

I believe that doing what I did is not necessary to get started with Clojure. It seems like the choice between top-down and bottom-up design. If you choose Clojure first, you will learn concepts that will help if you should ever approach scheme.
