​Over the fifteen years of Note-worthy Experiences Music Studio, I have been asked countless times if learning music theory is necessary.  This question has been asked by students, parents, grandparents, and nannies.  My answer is always the same with a bold and firm YES and then I state an assortment of solid rationales.  I decided to collect these rationales and put them all together for you in one place. However, I discovered this article that was already complete and easy to read.  So I share with your the 8 Benefits of Learning Music Theory as written by ThrivePiano.com  Take a moment to read through it and let me know what stands out to you.  Contact your teacher or me to chat further about how you can benefit from additional music theory study.
