What is Liberal Music Theory - SoundQuest

• I saw it on /frog96lab/ Useful Websites and Books for Learning Music.
• A website to learn music theory.
  • Seems interesting (blu3mo).
• Liberal music theory, and

  • “Liberal music theory” is a new music theory system that incorporates not only the philosophies of classical theory and jazz theory, but also the new styles created by popular music, with popular music as its main target, while maintaining equal foundations for each.

    • Interesting (blu3mo).

  • Rather than constructing a unique theory from scratch, liberal music theory integrates knowledge that was previously divided into various genres and reinforces it to fit the current state of popular music, creating an image similar to a “remake version”.

• A meticulously crafted teaching material as “learning content”.
  • Seems good (blu3mo)(blu3mo)(blu3mo).

  • SoundQuest’s content is built with a careful order of teaching, such as “teaching only the most important knowledge in the same category first” and “introducing the existence but covering the details later”. Therefore, it divides units in a way that others would never do. In some cases, a content that would normally be taught in one session is divided into four sessions.

  • So, it’s not surprising to see a huge number of articles on the table of contents page. That’s because the content is divided into small parts. This means that the burden per session is small. Especially in the beginning, there are many articles that can be read in 5 minutes.

  • Since SoundQuest is “learning content,” it naturally progresses while duplicating and repeating the content. In the process, knowledge is gradually deepened by saying things like “the formal name of the chord we introduced back then is this” or “although we didn’t introduce it at that time, there is also such usage.”

• It’s okay not to finish it to the end.
  • 

  • Not everyone needs to know all music theories. This is because the range of theories that should be known varies greatly depending on the genre and composition methods that each person is engaged in.

  • Therefore, SoundQuest’s content is designed with the assumption that you can stop halfway. There is no need to read all the articles listed in the table of contents. There are no restrictions, so you don’t have to finish learning in a cramped state. Even if you only study Chapter I, the content is planned so that you can practice various things with the knowledge up to that point.
