RE: minor scales etc.

Author: ron b  Date:   2001-11-02 04:16 I'm in tune with you, Bob. I was a music major in high school and it was a constant struggle to learn all that stuff. I'd be hard pressed to try to explain it now. Although I recognize the terms well enough to follow a musical conversation, I don't claim to be fluent. I remember asking our theory/composition instructor pretty much the same question as you did. He compared it to (language) literacy. As I understand it, our professors are correct; Music IS a language. As with any language, the more literate we are the more easily it can be used effectively. In any case, it takes study and practice to do it well. As hard as I sometimes tried, I never found a way around that :| peace
