Music Theory

Music Theory is the study of musical structure, notation, and principles to understand composition and performance. This skill involves knowledge of harmony, rhythm, melody, and form, as well as the ability to analyze and interpret musical works. Music theory is essential for composers, musicians, and educators to create, perform, and teach music effectively. Developing this skill enhances musicianship and the ability to communicate musical ideas clearly.
