Beginners often have interesting ideas

They’re not thinking with the same patterns and background and constraints as people that have been doing something for a long time.

Conventions can become ingrained in people that have been playing music for a long time. Conventions like tonality, functional harmony, western music theory, musical notation, and form. After playing lots of music that includes similar ideas, even if they are something as broad as functional harmony, that pattern can become ingrained.

Sometimes it can be hard to get out of those patterns of thinking, especially when you’ve been exposed to them for so long.

Because of this, beginners often have interesting ideas that are uncommon.
