Think Music Theory Is Too Hard? Here's Why

As I would see it (as a multi year music proficient), music hypothesis is educated in the most befuddling and agonizing way possible. One case of this, understudies are regularly gone up against with numerous arrangements of frameworks to portrayed a similar thing in various classes

For instance, Scale Degrees are referenced utilizing numbers (0-9) in private exercises, roman numerals (both upper and lower case) in investigation, terms like Tonic, Submediant, Dominant, and so forth when you get to hypothesis class, and something many refer to as "Solfege" (Do-Re-Mi) in ear preparing. Time and again the understudy has no clue every one of these frameworks are alluding to a similar essential thing, scale degrees. What's more, this is only one illustration!

Scale Degree Naming Schemes...

Numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Names: Tonic, Supertonic, Mediant, Subdominant, Dominant, Submediant, Leading Tone

Roman: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII

Solfege: Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti

Would music be able to Theory be made less demanding to get it?

Truly it can. All it truly brings is coming hypothesis down to its least difficult frame. At that point, exhibit it consistently, substantially less demanding to get it. For instance. How about we adopt a superior strategy to Scale Degree introduction specified previously.

Rather than utilizing diverse frameworks for private exercises, examination, music hypothesis class, and ear preparing, we could utilize standard numbers (0-9) for every one of them. We've expelled the snags of learning solfege (counting all the solfege names for notes not in the scale), english names for each scale degree, appropriate utilization of upper and lower case roman numerals, and so forth., BEFORE any usefulness of music can be scholarly. We get directly down to business utilizing a framework each understudy is as of now comfortable with, the numbers 0-9. Once more, this is only one case.

With consistency no matter how you look at it, the greater part of this can be learned and held effectively. In the event that anticipating going to school where every one of these terms will be required, you can simply take in these terms and frameworks AFTER you see how music functions. Trust me, it is MUCH EASIER that way!

As showed previously, this is just a single case how something that can be clarified so basically has turned out to be pointlessly intricate.

Along these lines, the arrangement is to make music hypothesis more straightforward, not the present pattern of making it harder. I trust the investigation of how music functions can be lessened to these two fundamental ideas... In the first place, take in the significant scale. At that point, utilize the significant scale to get the hang of everything else. Sounds truly easy to me!
