The study of musical possibilities and historical practices involving musical notation and interpretation (essential for understanding the rest of the course) in a musicological approach.
- Music theory can be a tool box, a rule book (that can be broken), or a guideline for composers to help them develop their own ideas of composing their pieces of all genres with chord progressions, tonal & atonal harmony, melodic structuring and many more methods.
- Many modern contemporary composers have broken many of the common practice period composing rules; Claude Debussy, Igor Stravinsky & Ivan Shostakovich are notable examples.
- Jazz music theory, or known as jazz harmony uses similar approaches to Western harmony but often use harmonies that are often played within the genre with additional tension using 9th, 11th, and 13th chords with incorporated usages of modes, and dissonant chords (augmented & diminished chords) and chord progressions that aren’t conforming to traditional music theory.
- There are prominent theorists on YouTube such as Adam Neely, David Bruce, 8-Bit Music Theory, etc. that do analyses and compose pieces using methods of music theory as they explain viewers regardless of their knowledge input of theory.

“I wouldn’t say that music theory is a mandate, but it’s highly recommended if you’re willing to pursue in a musical career.”

Get the Musical Giblets mug.Trap: A sub-genre of hip hop that originated in the southern states of America around the late 90’s and early 2000’s with the most notable characteristic of having lyrical content that depicts the sale and use of drugs. Trap music has had a major sound change in the years 2013-2016 by incorporating spacey/psychedelic melodies, distorted 808 basses, high tempo repetitive high hat patterns and the lyrical content focusing more on drug use rather than drug sales.

Get the Music Daddy mug.This occurs when a person discovers a particular band or artist and becomes obsessed with them and wont listen to anything else for a long period of time, buys band merchandise and feels the uncontrollable need to make their friends listen to it. Often an intervention is required to rescue a friend from this annoying condition. Interventions usually occur on long road trips, forcing passengers to go to extreme measures such as ejecting the cd and throwing it out the window when the affected friend is not looking.
When Todd discovered the Kings of Leon, he was sucked into a state of musical monogamy. He insisted on listening to Kings of Leon and nothing else for months. Eventually his friends got so burned out they had to intervene. When Todd stopped at the gas station, Ross took every KOL cd out of the player and hid them from Todd. After the initial shock wore off and Todd went through the withdrawal process they proceeded with the road trip with a wide variety of tunes.
