If more were to do that, transposition would not be the perceived problem that it is today.

the ability to play any instrument in any key is extremely desirable. Back when I took piano lessons, that was a requirement. The teacher was always introducing music in different keys. and practicing scales...... oh my... what a pain at the time but now I realize how important that was to make the different keys second nature and not having to spend time thinking about it because it was ingrained in your subconscious and it became effortless.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
