Why Music Theory Isn't As Hard As You Think

Let's be honest - most musicians would rather clean their entire house than study music theory. But what if I told you it's not the scary monster under your bed that it seems to be?

The Truth About Music Theory

Think of music theory like the rules of your favorite video game. You don't need to know them to press buttons and have fun, but understanding them makes you way better at playing. Plus, you might discover some cool cheat codes along the way.

Common Myths Debunked

1. "You need to be a math genius" - Nope, if you can count to 4, you're halfway there
2. "It kills creativity" - Like knowing grammar kills creative writing (spoiler: it doesn't)
3. "It's only for classical musicians" - Tell that to Jacob Collier
