Toaster Music

Music that radiates a similar sound to a toaster being tossed down the stairs or a kitchen utensil being rammed into it.

Not only does it have the sound of a dying toaster, but the band often has a cult following.
Person 1: "Have you heard the new *insert band here*'s new album?"
Person 2: "No, they make Toaster Music"

Music theory

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.”

musical fantasy

Similarly to sexual fantasies, a musical fantasy is when one imagines themselves playing music in amazing situations (such as your own epic saxophone solo, perfect harmony, or an awesome cover of that one song).
I had a musical fantasy about my own band last night, but I know it'll never happen because I'm too shy.
