In keeping with the general off-topicness of this thread, may I add the following:
That first sentence of yours could be read at least three ways:
1. I learned music from professional musicians. Somewhere along the way they told me that nothing
of theirs leaves the studio until they are 100% satisfied with it.
2. Same again only this time nothing
of mine leaves the studio until etc etc.
3. I have never had a music lesson in my life, but one night down the Cock and Feathers I got to talking to this pair of professional musicians, and one of them confided over a pint that nothing left their studio until they were 100% satisfied with it.
I also came up with a fourth way but desisted for fear you'd start hurling rotten fruit at me.
All that for want of some better punctuation and/or maybe one extra word.
