a very interesting combo. you can learn just about everything you want to know about programming from subbing to the programming subreddits, reading the sidebars there and reading and watching videos online. I took a basic course in Ruby from google in a multi part online class. It was really neat and even though I'm not a coder I really enjoyed it.

I'm a musician. I play the guitar, bass, drums, keyboard and sing. If you're curious about music I say go for it. It's very relaxing to play, takes a LOT of practice and hardwork and just when you think you've got it down you realize just how impossibly hard your instrument of choice is to master.

Idk much about motivational speaking but I do really enjoy getting people pumped up about X or Y so if you can get people in high spirits and find a topic or topics you're very passionate about then I'd suggest watching as many public speaking gigs as you can find online(TED talks would be a great start).

GL dude : )

but butt hair! (I've read stories of horrible swamp ass)

Music theory is tough. I'd say I'd be glad to help but it's been years since I've taken theory and I wouldn't be the best resource teaching it note for note. What instrument do you play? because that might help me guide you as to what theory practices you should be learning about first.

this is my SFW reddit account plz no :P

whew nice!! impressive for 17 dude. since you play piano(unless you only play by ear) you already should have the basics of theory down and would only need to learn more complex theory. I found this might be worth looking into :)
