A lot of people ask whether music theory is even necessary to learn – and if so, then what theory should they learn, and how much of it? I get many questions ranging from learning to read and write music, to learning ear training, to questions about orchestration, harmony, counterpoint, and of course, parallel fifths.
In this video I hope to answer those questions, and recommend exactly how much music theory I really think you should learn!
