Wanna Learn Theory?

[The4455]

I'm in AP Music theory, it's the hardest class I have this year, no lies. My final project was to correctly write a four part chorale in the Bach style of 4-part chorale writing following the proper writing progression rules as well as other things the teacher asked for. It's interesting but I rarely use the stuff I've learned in the class or in other theory lessons/classes in music. Being able to identify a first inversion chord is nice, but if it's music that's been written within the last hundred years or so, it will say what chord it is above the staff line. I am starting to learn treble cleff though, so that's one positive useful thing, and alto cleff sorts. I already know bass clef, truly the way to go.

I was pretty good at the writing stuff, but it was a pain in the ass to avoid parallel fifths especially when guitar involves parallel fifths ALL THE FUCKING TIME. One of my favorite exercises was when our professor played two notes on a piano and we had to tell him the interval it was.

But for real, it may not seem like it applies to you and music, but you'll be able to figure out how to play other people's music way easy. It surprises my bandmates sometimes how I'll listen to a song from another band at a concert, and I'll dick around on guitar the next practice and figure out the main riff/melody of the song. I was not able to do that easily before I took a theory course. But then again some people are born with an ear for that kind of stuff.

Yah, i enjoy writing alot, but the rule deal started getting old, until I mastered it. We'll be moving onto somethgin new though when i get back from break

most of its been shoved out my head anyway once i did the western art music stuff
serialism and cluster chords

notating contemporary music is easy now mainly because its so predictable thats why i like it so
