RE: minor scales etc.

Author: ron b  Date:   2001-11-02 03:04 Hi, Bob Interesting topic, how far to carry your studies. Welllll, as far as this guy's opinion goes; I feel that you don't need a lot of (theory) knowledge to enjoy playing, BUT... if you get into the nuts and bolts of music construction it gets even more interesting. A little music theory won't tax anyone too much and I consider at least a little familiarity with major, chromatic, harmonic minor and melodic minor scales important from that aspect. But, yeah, just for the enjoyment of playing, doing some daily exercises from a method book or just blowing some tunes daily will be enough. You don't have to be a scholar. There are many players who don't read music well at all and do just fine playing by ear. All depends on what you want to do I guess -- as long as it's fun, keep on tootin' whatever pleases you. Let the composers sort the nuts and bolts :] - ron b -
