This is an excellent article and I can relate. I'm in my early 30's and I took up piano a year and a half ago. Learning music has been a great outlet and gives me something to study that has nothing to do with programming. I've taken lessons the entire time and I've found the best help my instructor has given me was telling me what I was doing wrong that I'd never be able to see. It's fun to learn something new and I feel music is a mystery that was similar to when I started down the engineering path. Even though its an escape I still ended up making an iOS app to practice sight reading since I didn't like what was out there. It's a shameless plug but its available and is free with no ads or iaps: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/music-note-sight-reading-tra...
