Knowing music theory could change the way that you play music forever!


Knowing your music theory will not only allow you to play chords, but it will allow you to know why you play the chords that you play.

This is not only true in music, but it is true in all aspects of our lives. When we know the why behind what we do, then we will be more proficient and effective in whatever we do.

Think about playing music in a more proficient and effective way. Think about playing the piano/keyboard, the drum, saxophone, (or whatever instrument you play) in a more skillful way. My friend, it starts with knowing your theory.

Knowing your theory will dramatically increase your sense of where a song is going. This is incredibly helpful if you are interested in playing for a church, playing in a band, or for personal enjoyment.
