....don't ya just find it a pain in the ass
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i actually took a course this year in high school.
a. we didnt learn shit
b. its just annoying as hell
lol
are you majoring in music in college or something?
well he's self taught so idk....maybe he picked it up later on. teach me edge
yea I'm at college doin music....I'm enrolling for my second year 2mora *WOOHOO*
if only edge would teach us
sadly I barely got music at highschool (only two years) but now my bassteacher is gradually teaching me some of the theory aswell... seeing as he is a music teacher I should be learning the good stuff
I'm starting my year and a half to two year theory sequence in college next fall. Let's just say I'm not looking forward to it...
what do you guys want to do with your music major?
Grad school for a PhD in musicology, then eventually a professorship at some university.
I just like writing about music, and this is a good way to get to do that for a living...

Hmm, I have an M.A. (hons.) in musicology but can´t get myself to study again to do the PhD. To be professor you´ll need a list of publications, first work assistance for a couple of years etc.
If you ever pass by I can show you our institute of musicology, and the phonogram archive which happens to be the oldest in the world.
I specialized in ethnomusicology and the music industry, then I started my indie label. What are you interested in?
cool, where do you go?
Interesting, which institute if you don't mind me asking? I've talked with a professor of mine about the whole PhD thing, and we got into the amount of work, and how many master's students he sees who just don't go through with the PhD for various reasons.
I'm mostly interested in studying popular music, which is apparently in sort of high demand right now (at least in the academic world), but I'm not ruling out classical or ethnomusicology by any means. I want to be open to anything that comes about
what do you guys want to do with your music major?
music theory is essential, unless you're like some supergifted musician who just makes stuff up and it sounds great.
ive taken one theory course and while it may not have been the most fun thing in the world, when i actually started applying the stuff to my playing/writing music the difference was noticeable.
I was a music major. And now I'm an HR specialist. That seems about right!
I used to teach piano lessons, however, and I insisted on teaching the kids theory. I find even a basic level of music theory to be very helpful as I do things now like sing in choir or sight read at the piano during rehearsals.
