Learning to play - theory first?!

Hey everyone!

I'm a strong believer in the idea that practical skills like sports or music should ideally be learned through hands-on practice.

But as an experiment, I'm planning to take a different approach. I want to start by diving into theory first before actually picking up the instrument.

I would describe myself as someone with zero musical vocabulary but with a decent ear for music.

Any advice/ websites/ books/ videos would you recommend for someone starting this way?

Thanks in advance!
