If you thought music theory was a waste of time and not
necessary to further your musical goals, then read these
following 5 reasons why this is not true.
1.Read sheet music: Being able to play from any piece of sheet
music. Well it may be hard to play BUT you can read it!
2.Be able to transpose: Say you are playing a piece from the
sheet music you can now read but you think it sounds too high or
too low, or just not right. Well now you can move it into a new
key and play at a better singing.
3.Be able to modulate: You will be able to, with a few quick
moves of the fingers, move your music into a new key with a
succession of notes so pleasing to the ear it will bring a smile
to your listeners faces.
4.It will increase
your skill in improvising: Enough said.
5.Knowing music theory will help you recreate the sounds you

The parts that give a song that certain sound. Gospel,
Contemporary etc.

subject. Just at least learn the basics. Getting a good music
theory book and spending a few minutes a day reading from it and
doing any included exercises can jump start your music playing.
