Also remember that THEORY is ONLY a tool, to assist musicians.
I am persuaded, like mentioned in one of our videos, we learn theory, to not have to think about it. Much like you learn a language, and it becomes second nature, so that you don't conciously think about your words most of the time.
The tone of these type posts generally move into to camps with not much wiggle room... Less filling. Taste great.
All who say that Musicians who know theory, and can't groove are right, that person are not complete musicians.
I also appreciate all the analogies given, but realize that there are still two sides to the coin. We see all the time atheletes who are extremely talented, but can't make it on the next level, because they can't get the mental aspect of the game. Pure talent only goes so far. But great analogy, "Twest45"
Dremy, no-one can truly say if David knew studied music or not... all we know is that he was skillful according to the scriptures, and that his reputation as a musician proceeded him. We do however find later in the scriptures another musician, who taught the singers/musicians in the temple. Cheneniah.
