Songwriting & Music theory

            Hello Guys, I would like to say thank you for your time to read this article. In this article, I would like to share about songwriting & music theory that I learned from my experiences in music and any relevant literatures about songwriting & music theory. Understanding music theory means knowing the nature of music. The main thing to know about music theory is that it is simply a way to explain the music we hear in a natural way. Music had existed for thousands of years before theory came along to explain what people were trying to accomplish. Don’t ever think that you can’t be a good musician just because you’ve never taken a theory class. In fact, if you are a good musician, you already know a lot of theory. You just may not know the words or scientific formulas for what you’re doing.

            In general, the definition of Music theory is the study of the practices and possibilities of music. It generally derives from observation of how musicians and composers make music, but includes hypothetical speculation. Most commonly, the term describes the academic study and analysis of fundamental elements of music such as pitch, rhythm, harmony, and form, but also refers to descriptions, concepts, or beliefs related to music. Because of the ever-expanding conception of what constitutes music (see Definition of music), a more inclusive definition could be that music theory is the consideration of any sonic phenomena, including silence, as it relates to music.

            From the explaination aboves the most important things to make the music is about how musicians and composers doing an observation, how musicians and composers understanding the nature of music, how musicians and composers paying more attention to what they do, in a natural way, and  If you’re a songwriter, you’re being inspired by everything. It’s all a creative thing so always  keep  the  creative  aspect  is the  most  important thing about what you do. Hell, even a broken muffler on a car or something like that can really inspiring, no joke, can inspire random rhythm.  

Best Regrds,
