Music Theory Tutoring FAQ
Music is all around us. We can relax to it by curling up with a pair of headphones, dance with thousands of people at a rock concert, or even catch faint riffs as we walk up and down the aisle of the grocery store. Music theory puts tones together, creating organized sounds. Humans have been making music for thousands of years, first vocally, and then with instruments of their own making.
Music theory generally explains the ideas behind music and helps us to understand it as a process. It gives words and explanations to the mechanics behind the notes that make us feel and experience the sounds. Music theory is especially helpful to learn if you have an interest in composing or arranging music.
