Music Theory...What is it and why do we need it? That is what we will find out in a continued effort and new blog series that I would like to start called Theory Thursdays. This series is going to compile random facts and anything related to the mystery, magic, math, and wonder behind all of the music we learn.
Sounds like it would make a good social media hashtag series doesn't it?
