[00:00:00]Learning music without theory is like learning a language by memorizing sentence. You might memorize "Hi, how are you?" But if someone changes the conversation slightly, you're stuck.

It helps you understand why chord works, where melody comes from, why certain notes sound like that. The goal of theory isn't to make music complicated. It is to make music make sense. Start small.
