Get the Musical Gibletsmug. 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 Battleshipsmug. Refers to a sort of "grown-up" version of the popular children's game; this procedure involves maneuvering around of two or more vehicles in a fairly small parking-area, either to allow one of them to enter/exit the locale, or to make room for additional vehicles that are scheduled to arrive later.
I really like owning three old clunker-sedans, particularly in case one of them is in the repair-shop and thus I hafta use one of the others for my basic local-transportation needs (and indeed, I occasionally have actually been down to just one somewhat-malfunctioning vehicle, but at least it has still been able to wheezingly/sputteringly/back-firingly get me from Point A to Point B around town till I got both of the other cars repaired and I could finally take this third one into the garage for some TLC of its own), but I occasionally hafta play "musical cars" if my friends drop by for a visit.

Get the Limo Musicmug. The process of describing an artist to a non-listener by comparing the artist to three or more other artists. Usually done with three artists, two of which are similar to each other and the third of which is significantly different, and in the style of: "They are like (similar band #1) mixed with (similar band #2) with elements of (totally different band)"
Speaker 1: You haven't heard Sage Francis? He's like Swollen Members mixed with Sweatshop Union, with elements of Paul Simon.
Speaker 2: Dude, that's an awesome musical triangulation.
