As anyone who has studied the music is known throughout the school, music theory, a fundamental study - you'll find it loaded as part of the course to pursue in every field of music that is meant.

For many it is a vaguely disturbing, they prefer to practice their instruments for work or play in a club or reading history books obscure. And if you do not try to study music in school, but there to make it in the music world - PlayGuitar in a rock band, is an act of living, working on the arrangements for some local radio spots - so the theory seems much more to their concerns.

So what's the problem? Because every show that you can learn a series of music theory and why it is always the responsibility of one part of the course, even if you do not plan a theorist? Well, everything works on communication. Understanding the basics of our language is the same way as a usefulUnderstanding of English is useful - that allows you to communicate more effectively.

That's not to say that people who have not studied the basic theory, it is impossible to understand, only that their music (as they write and declare) are elements that are confusing for other musicians.

For example, let's look at a common theme among the musicians based on the notation of changes. I have a number of players known (knew some of the basics of notation), who used only natural tones in their homes and sensitive - it is never sharp. On the surface, this process seems simple and logical, but it leads to some very strange structures, such as "A" written A-flat major triad Db-E.

Well, if (as this written agreement) before a second guitarist, to find his hand, the correct notes on the keyboard, and for this reason may seem an effective way of notation that the rope.

However,will be impossible to obtain written agreement (see above) to other elements of standard musical structure, since the basic structure of the tendon is hidden by the notation. Instead, a triad (two see each other) in third place, we see three notes, but see the tonic in A major, you will see a diminished fourth and a second increase. In other words, (the notation A-Db-E, when used for a "triad" of great importance defined) has a practical value (why not put your hands tonotes on the right), but also a value, while the "correct" spelling (AC #-E) has the same practical value, and much more. Allows you to see the structure of the tendon, and relate this structure with other elements of the music.

Of course, you can find a number of ways to access or write a particular piece of material of music, and all this way, the hand to get the right notes. The problem arises when you try to find outRelationships between various pieces of musical material. The building blocks of traditional western music have been developed over a long period, and the language (which we use for these components and their relationships), the explicit right has developed along with musical concepts. Therefore, our system of musical language and style of writing reflects, if properly used, the underlying structures and relationships in the music conveys. Since theseunderlying structures and relationships are important for understanding what is really happening in music, is very useful to know the language (the language, because it makes for easier understanding).

Incidentally, I am now speaking only of Western music. Musicians from different cultures have their theories, their language. In addition, I speak only of the traditional Western music theory. New developments (electronic music,microtonal music, etc.) bring new theories and new languages.

If you know the theory will help in other ways. It is easier to remember, if a piece you can see the basic structure, as if a mysterious storm of notes must be analyzed. Communication with other musicians is easier if you can tell them what you have in mind: "Give it a feeling blues" is less specific "Using an F-minor pentatonic scale."

Some people are afraid that if they learned the theory,they are not able to play spontaneously - and in fact, if we think of theory as a set of rules of iron that can be used for hanging your game (or writing). But do not be intimidated. There is not a theoretical "rule" that can not be broken for a good musical effect. It is to know the rules, so that if you violate, you will understand what you are doing. If you understand why a particular passage, it seems that (maybe you play a scale G # DorianGm7b5 on the string) can be found in a position to create the same sound a second time to vote in another. Knowledge of the theory may also offer more options for you. In fact, if you think about it ..... There is always a large number of concepts, available as an option.

So when we study music theory, we study a complex language and concepts behind this language. Understanding and 'can play music without ever learning a bit' of theory, but theory is veryuseful tool. It allows us to see and hear the reports in the music we play, and allows us to obtain this relationship in our minds and fingers. 'S Theory in future no one understands the music, but they will certainly help to develop an understanding.
