A Beginner's Guide to Music Theory

Music Theory can be intimidating to learn as a beginner with no prior knowledge, however, it can improve your music writing skills significantly! As someone who never received a formal education on music theory, I'm here to teach what I believe to be the most important concepts a beginner should learn. I strongly believe in the concept of learning from your peers, so just remember I was once in your shoes!

Musician: It isn’t rocket science
Rocket Scientists: It isn’t music theory

I learned everything and nothing at the same time

[whynot]

me with a full 7 years of music school: why did i spend all those years to learn what he basically described in less then 10 minutes...

[Roseberry]

me learning color theory: child's play

me learning music theory: _screaming_

[carlitoxb]

He: this is a note
Me: slow down smartypants

I'm a non-musician...I have my exams next week...And I'm watching this with full attention, taking notes.

Him: “let’s talk about TEMPO”
Me: “woah woah woah slow down”

[liltino]

My mind: Did you understand anything or should I repeat the video
Me: yes

[piedoeshobbies]

“You normally go from 40-250” speedcore go brrr

[kikizversion]

[LuckyClver]

me: ok

"You gotta know where the box is before you start thinking outside of it". Someone commented that once on a music theory video and it always really stuck with me.

I remember watching this back in my first year of highschool because we had this terrible music theory teacher that would explain things her way and no one coud learn anything from her. But thanks to this video I passed that subject with an A. Thank you for making this video.💕

As an amateur beat making connoisseur, thank you. Music theory and chords have been my biggest enemy with how CLEAN an instrumental sounds and this cleared it up almost completely.

[demar_makavveli]

actually putted a smile on my face when I realized im not the only one music theory is giving a migraine

Common joke in aeronautical science: "Come on guys, this isn't music theory"

[notsludgebomb]

as someone who's been studying music for roughly three years, this is actually a pretty well done video compared to a lot of other "for beginner's" music theory content that i've watched

[noahlowemusic]
