Importance Of Music Theory

Mary Bellah shares the reasons why learning Music Theory is so important!

⁃ Music theory allows the student to learn material faster! By breaking down the song and seeing how it is constructed allows for more efficient song learning ?

⁃ Memorization comes quicker when the song is broken down. Students learn to recognize patterns and repetitions when they understand the form of the piece. ? ✔️

⁃ It aids in sight reading. Students learn intervals, chord progressions, and inversions which help in the note reading department. ? ? ?

⁃ Allows for greater expression. The deeper a student understands a song e.g. genre, form, style, composer the greater the capacity to play with more expression and phrasing. ?
