Heyyy I've also being dabbling in composition! My approach for learning both had been similar (to each other) as well, but different from your approach; I'm not as diligent, since I'm not aiming to master the skills but just be 'good enough' in order to get the most important broad strokes of my vision down XD

Have you found that some of your existing skills transfer over to learning the new skill? I've found this with music and writing! When it really sunk in just in what way exactly good (or at least melodically strong) songs are like a story, my mind was blown XD That's how I started (confidently) breaking out of the 'basic' structures like sentence form and period form (or more like not-deliberately using them; they ended up still showing up but in more complicated ways, like being nested in each other like a verse that's sentence form overall but each phrase is actually itself in period form)

Also, if any of you have any resources to share in regards to music composition, please do share as well
