teresaman·Aug 23, 2021teresaman·Aug 23, 2021Welcome to Elpha Madeline! What made you transition from music to engineering!
madelenecampos·Aug 24, 2021madelenecampos·Aug 24, 2021Thank you! Tech just has so much more opportunity, and the skills are transferrable. I wrote a bit about the transition process in a blog (it's been awhile, to be honest), which can be found here, if you're interested: https://madelenecampos.com/
teresaman·Aug 24, 2021teresaman·Aug 24, 2021"People seem to be fundamentally unaware that, even though it is a creative field, the classical musician’s brain really functions similarly to an engineer’s brain. We analyze the structure of a piece, a lot of repetition is involved (in practicing and perfecting our craft), and we are constantly learning new techniques in order to optimize our experience."Loveeed this! 🤗
