Music Theory

In my paper I will be showing how music theory cannot and will not hinder any kind of creativity. Having a clear and superior knowledge of anything can instantly make you do and understand it much better. For example, in sports, if you know little techniques and things you can do that not many people know, that can allow you to be a step ahead of the crowd. But will knowledge of these things make you less good at it? My answer is no. I think that the more you know about something and the deeper your understanding is, the more you can excel in that subject.

Just doing something while only knowing the basics can help you but you cannot get better unless you learn new things. Music theory opens up and world of musical options. When you really open yourself up, things can start to truly flow through you and push you to become better at whatever you do musically. Just because something can give you a lot of logical information, does not mean it will hinder your imagination in anyway at all. Learning new things will always do nothing but help you and make you more talented at your given field.

As one studies music theory, their knowledge of music can widely expand. Theory can help with improvisation, composition, and chord structure, which can help with anything in music. In anything you do in life, knowledge is power, the more knowledge you have the more superior you become in your given field. In almost no instance will knowledge not help you improve on what you are doing.

Let us say you are a sports coach who wants to create a new and unheard of play to beat your opponents. You could not create that play without knowing the inner workings of the game itself. The exact same principle applies to composing music, without knowing...

...r will we be responsible for the death of interesting music? It is a sad reality that we face by asking these questions.

All these problems can be solved by simply taking the time now to learn valuable life information that could help contribute to the future of music itself. Something as huge as this cannot be ignored.

The modern era of music is at a crucial peak, it can either go up or down from here, it is up to this generation of musicians to decide what to do. If people simply learned, they could make this age of music accelerate to legendary heights.

For all of you who do not care about music, if you could change the world of sports, would you? Would you improve on it? Or would you just let it die? You do not realize how important music is, it is always around you, you warm up to it and wake up to it, you hear it in the car, ipod, phone, everywhere.
