title: Generic Skills vs Specific Skills
h1:

Something to be aware of when choosing what to learn and how to learn it, is how general or how
specific a particular thing is. If practising something like synth programming, then some things
will be particular to a specific synth, some things will be common to a few, and some things will
be widely applicable. The more you train widely applicable skills, the more you have already learned
when you pick up *e.g.* a new synth.
