Me too!!! QBasic's Sound and Play (at age 10) is when I knew I wanted to make software as a grown up.

My recommendation as a beginner who tried and struggled a lot when making Clojure my first language is to take an actual course like Harvard's CS50, HTDP, or SICP and then come back to Clojure. That Harvard course taught me more in 6 months than the previous year and a half floundering out on my own.

It is also considered the prerequisite to Harvard's Web Dev course which I am now taking (while doing Jacek Shae's excellent Clojure courses and reading Web Development in Clojure) if that is where they want to focus. I am making so much more progress after completing that structured intro course.
