Music Theory Quotes

Music is an attitude. It’s a sensation to the average person, to the human being. And keep it simple, stupid. That’s always been my theory Picture Quote #1

Songwriting is different from music, although I don’t deny now that it would be nice to have a little more background in music theory Picture Quote #1

I don’t know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don’t really need to Picture Quote #1

Do everything you can to learn your craft. Score student films for free, attend conferences, learn music theory - do anything (and everything) you can Picture Quote #1

Most of my music theory knowledge is based on piano. But I write on guitar a lot, too. I’m not a great guitar player by any means. I’m not a great instrumentalist. I play piano on stage. I don’t play guitar on stage, but I use it to write quite a lot Picture Quote #1

When I was nine years old, I started playing guitar, and I took classical guitar lessons and studied music theory. And played jazz for a while. And then when I was around fourteen years old, I discovered punk rock. And so I then tried to unlearn everything I had learned in classical music and jazz so I could play in punk rock bands Picture Quote #1

I met my wife when we were both 19 or 20, at a music school where she was taking voice and piano lessons and I was doing classes in music theory and composition Picture Quote #1

I studied voice when I was at school, and I was in the chamber choir, and I studied music theory as well, so I guess a lot of it came from being taught at school Picture Quote #1

I’ve never really been schooled in music theory. I’m a guitar player, and I attack the guitar in a certain way that it not fully unique to me, but it’s more unique that some other people Picture Quote #1

Many musicians are fabulously skilled at playing the black dots on the printed page, but mystified by how the dots got there in the first place and apprehensive of playing without dots. Music theory does not help here; it teaches rules of the grammar, but not what to say. When people ask me how to improvise, only a little of what I can say is about music. The real story is about spontaneous expression, and it is therefore a spiritual and a psychological story rather than a story about the technique of one art form or another Picture Quote #1

We must see that music theory is not only about music, but about how people process it. To understand any art, we must look below its surface into the psychological details of its creation and absorption Picture Quote #1

It’s easy to get next to music theory, especially between your peers and music classes and so forth. You just pay attention. I had a good ear, so I realized that printed music was just about reminding you what to play Picture Quote #1
