Music Theory

"Knowing music theory and playing/composing/communicating with a musical instrument is like knowing word grammar and talking/writing/communicating with your voice, pencil, keyboard, etc...

Music and words are both used as a means to communicate. These two topics fused into one subject can be known as the "Theory of Communication."

You can communicate in any language without necessarily having to study the theory of how it all works. But, if you did learn theory, you would most likely be able to express yourself much more cleary. That is, With higher intensity/excitement, more intent and far greater depth, by the use of synonyms, snytax, and other ways to get your thoughts/ideas/emotions across. Have you ever had a conversation with someone and couldn't find the word you were looking for? You might have even said, "it's on the tip of my tongue." The whole reason you continue to search for that "PERFECT" word is obviously because it completley fits your thoughts/emotions. So when your brain finally allows you to remember the word, you recieve this huge sense of relief because your word matched your thought 100%. I'm sure there's also been at least one time where you never found that word and gave up. It sucks when you feel that kind of frustration. The right word can be EVERYTHING! It can be the matter of life or death, determine whether or not you got the job, or even be the reason you have your significant other, litterally! Everyone wants to be able to say "just the right words." Every guy (straight guy at least, lol) would love to have girls on a regular basis give a naughty wink and tell them, "You know ALL the right things to say!"

Let's face it, if everyone only knew one word for each meaning of something...language would be BORING AS FUCK!!! Ironically the word "FUCK" itself can be used as an noun, adjective, verb, action verb (haha), etc...



It just makes communicating more fun/interesting when you can choose from lots of "WORDS" instead of barely knowing any and being so LIMITED. Like a foreigner who barely knows any english at all, In his brain he can say EVERYTHING, but because he doen't know english very well he's "bottle-necking" his thoughts/ideas and can't fully express him/herself to the fullest extent.

In this very Blog, I am choosing words that I wish to use. We're all pretty capable of understanding the same words, but does that mean we are forced to communicate exactly the same? And if I learn word grammar, does that mean it will make it impossible to use slang? Does knowing word grammar ruin a poet's expression? NO! If anything it gives him/her more ideas to play around and have fun with! The same applies for learning music theory.

Now, does learning word grammar force his/her mind to think a certain way? YES! Compare your word grammar to that of young child year old (besides their bad accents, lol). It's safe to say that you can probably relay your thoughts much better than the lil' tyke. For the parent/guardian they probably at one point told themselves after hearing their baby cry day after day, night after night, "Damn I wish I knew exactly what they were thinking!" I've even thought that about my dog when he barks, gets that sad puppy face, or when he starts to whine.

This is why I continue to encourage music theory upon my fellow musicians! I want everyone to have the ability to express themselves TRUELY so that their music is derived from the soul in its PURE form.

*COMMUNICATION IS EVERYTHING!"

My ousin David rocks!

My Junior Year

Well... it's been the definition of stressful. So much crap at once it can make you feel like just sayin' "F IT!" but I'm glad I've been hangin' in there. What's really buggin' me is that with senior year comin' up and our recession slowy turning into a depression, a lot of things have been running in my head that's just inescapeable. Hmm... I'm just wonderin' if I'm overthinking because most ppl my age don't seem to be thinking about this stuff as deeply as I do or at least been phased the way I have n sometimes I feel I'm gettin' paranoid @.@. Ha... this year even though stressfull I'm somewhat glad I'm goin' through it because... well it gave me a serious look at reality(a tuff kick to the face) and I think stuff's lookin' up ^^.
