For as long as I can remember, I have ALWAYS loved music. My seventh grade classmate, Sally, was a wonderfully encouraging teacher and I was a quick study during that 3-day weekend and birthday slumber party she invited me to. Sally was eager to teach me what she knew and I was hungry to learn all I could. For years I practiced and built on what she taught me, turning those black markings in the church hymnal into sounds of familiar hymns. Along the way I picked up techniques, learned chords and mimicked passing tones from other friends who had become skillful musicians.
Music Theory was never part of my experience when I learned to read notes and play the piano. What a refreshing discovery the day I learned that my oldest son had all the theory that I’d missed out on. Music has become our love language and our conversations have covered a plethora of topics. This blog is dedicated to reviewing what I’ve learned and sharing music theory that he’s shared with me. So… those of you who love music and want to understand what seems like madness behind the methods, check out this blog regularly as he shares with me and I share with you! Thank You, Rus White, for ‘erasing the rests and tying the notes’!!!
