MUSIC THEORY

Music theory is the study of the practices and possibilities of music. It is essentially a system of understanding and analyzing the language and notation of music. At its core, music theory seeks to explain how and why music works, examining elements like melody, harmony, rhythm, scales, chords, and the structure of compositions. This academic discipline extends beyond mere textbook knowledge, integrating aspects of history, composition, acoustics, and psychology to deepen our understanding of music as both an art form and a science.
