The Importance of Learning Music Theory
3 April 2010
For some people, learning music theory would be considered a waste of time as they argue that music, the universal language, simply needs to be experienced. Such people further argue that learning music theory could actually inhibit creativity which is essential in developing music.While these arguments are true to some extent, learning music theory is important for the growth of the musician. Learning music theory enables the musician to communicate more effectively with others and also aids in teaching others about music. If music is the universal language, music theory is the vocabulary.
