<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I know this has been posted before, but I wanted to ask again and be a part of the discussion.</p> <p>I know a fair amount of music theory. I studied it at the college level, have played jazz and orchestral pieces on violin/trombone/piano with various groups. Composed a significant amount of music on a variety of styles. Blah blah blah...</p> <p>There was a point in my life where I thought that the more I would learn, the better I would get. Considering most music relies on very simple progressions and rudimentary theory - for the past decade or so, Ive been trying to unlearn everything. My solos are too complicated. My compositions are needlessly complex. </p> <p>Has anyone had this experience? How much music theory should artists study? Any thoughts about how learning theory has impacted your playing or composing - good or bad?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/braintree56"> /u/braintree56 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/zk3594/how_much_music_theory_do_you_know_how_much_do_you/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/zk3594/how_much_music_theory_do_you_know_how_much_do_you/">[comments]</a></span>
