The Importance of Music Theory

Music theory provides a way to name what we are doing and intentionally to reframe and create new musical ideas. Music theory also facilitates the coordination and collaboration of a pianist, guitarist, violinist, trumpet players, and other instrumentalists. Those who study theory obtain a professional command of the basics required to advance their development and exploitation of various contemporary music genres. It is possible to play and work as musicians without learning the basics of theory, but don't shy away from learning.  Music Theory has many multiple benefits and will move your career forward. Here some things that the right education could do for you:
