This is one of the biggest weaknesses of the field of Music Theory, especially in the way it's taught. Lots of looking for the *what* and barely any discussion of the *why*.

It's our first semester trying out our new theory curriculum and I've never had more students tell me "I love theory" and "theory is my favorite class."

It’s too bad bII6 is the Neapolitan instead of the augmented 6th chords, which *actually* come in three distinct flavors.

I find it fascinating that current hip-hop has a genre convention that makes it totally acceptable for the artist to casually use their own name in the lyrics as it if was "son", "girl", "you", etc. In other genres, that would feel really weird.

Crystal clear example of blue notes: "I Love Rock and Roll" by Joan Jett, in the chorus, the word "love" is right in between minor 3 and major 3

More on tuning systems and music theory. In Western tonal theory, dominant seventh chords are "intrinsically dissonant." In the blues, they aren't. Arbitrary cultural convention? Maybe not!

DAWs : music :: Microsoft Word : language, not necessary in every situation but awfully useful in an awful lot of them

The thing about “genius” is that it’s a fine word, but it becomes useless as a label if the user doesn’t acknowledge that it’s completely subjective and culturally constructed

We talk a lot about how the #Jaws #theme sounds like #Dvořák, but we don't talk nearly enough about how it sounds like the Mummy's Crawl from The Universal Classic Monster movies.

Taking the third right out of the chord? Sounds like a real power move.

*Every* time I discuss form in pop music, I end up bringing up @alyssa_barna's work on the "dance chorus" in recent top 40 music. It's become an indispensable resource for me, and I love how accessibly she presents her ideas. vimeo.com/440793933

can someone point me to a list of musical topics/tropes that frequently occur in film/VGM? looking for something to pass on to students analyzing for this for the first time; a lot of the scholarship I'm aware of assumes that you're already familiar with common topics

How is it that a guitar and a piano can play the same pitch, but sound different? The answer is timbre (pronounced "TAM-bur"), or tone color. What's responsible for timbre? Well, it's kind of complicated, but really cool. A timbre for beginners thread! 🧵
