The trouble for me is I still don't know what a trochee is or an iamb. I have read dozens of comments about them but it goes in one eye and comes out the other.
I did study music theory, the cycle of fifths, keys, scales and intervals. I worked with an opera singer once who said perfect pitch is, in opera, the ability to sing a song you have never heard simply by reading the notes. It is fascinating and amazing.
I did look at a poem of mine and realized it employed Hopkins' sprung rhythm so that's something I have learnt.
