Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Books/tools/videos and advice on developing music theory knowledge.
« on: January 07, 2016, 06:04:20 pm »
These videos are completely free and this guy is very dedicated to spreading knowledge and he has a nerdy sense of humor that keeps the videos interesting

I learned a lot from these videos it helped me really understand what a chord progression is and how to use it
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNBiLBQrKrnvwcVRD5fS8aA
and of course music theory for dummies good review and it will take one from absolute beginner to novice
https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=music%20theory%20for%20dummies%20pdf
My main question is what steps can i take to take my music theory knowledge from intermediate to advanced and what all the other producers did to accomplish this as I feel this is the biggest weakness as a producer?

Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Re: Is music theory really important ???
« on: January 07, 2016, 05:55:54 pm »
Yes music theory is extremely important.
I love the carpenter analogy.
Yes one can build great antiques and tables without any schooling or education but learning music theory is akin to learning a set of tools to assist you in building and crafting the perfect song.
Without learning music theory a producer will always feel as they have one hand tied behind their back an the music will be less original. there is a reason that 50% of edm songs are written in A minor(the white keys) becuase we all skip the hard steps.
I cant find the link but I remember seeing a video where avicii is in the studio(not the FM vid) but it was for a jean company, but here is my point he pays a classical musician (in his twenties) to sit in the studio with him this is becuase avicii never learned the theory so he is constrained and now needs a partner to help him compose.
The question should be what can I do to develope my music theory knowledge? (not a forum to excuse yourself from doing the neccesary work)
