1) what is the theory of music?

Music theory is the language of music.Those who understand the language of music, those who can read and write music called musicians. just as people who share a common language of communication every day, musicians communicate through a common language of music.

The musicians to communicate in a language is not speaking but rather than using the sheet music Music sheet contains information that allows musicians to play the same piece of music regardless of the language spoken. people in the world communicate through the language of music, and this is why music is the universal language.

2) you need to know music theory to play a musical instrument?

This is a complex question and the answer is Yes and no. Let me explain. If any noise or sound is pace, melody and harmony, this can be called music without these elements is just noise or organized noise.

Musician, someone who understands music theory and be able to communicate in the language of music, will compose a piece of music and know what they are doing and why do Musician will know the name of the notes, chords and scales that use and most importantly, I know why the musical composition or sound good.

Musician does not need to listen to the musical composition to know wether or not certain notes and chords sound good when played together because the theory already determined what families Note and chord sounds good with it and why is it so.

On the other hand, many people who play music, played by ear.Many of those who play by ear you don't know the name of the notes, chords and scales of breeding, still be able to create a musical composition that is pleasing to the ear of the listener.

Players who are learning and to create music by ear have developed a good sense of pitch and continue to train its ear, will improve their ability to identify notes, chords and qualities of chords.

Typically, those who play by ear, and limited to playing simple forms of music such as blues, rock, POP and country is very difficult to play classical music and jazz without some form of musical training and a decent understanding of music theory.

People who have the ability to learn complex forms of music from the ear have an extraordinary musical gift and even they can be considered musical prodigies.

To distinguish between musicians and those who play music from your ear offer this example; a person who uses a computer may not have a clue as to how the computer can also type a letter, send e-mail or surf the Internet, as happens with the music.

Thus, if the person who plays music by ear creates a musical composition that pleases the ear, then it is possible that the application of the principles of music theory wether they realize it or not.

3) music theory Is only beneficial for musicians?

No. Many studies have concluded that those studying music and arts of excel in school, careers, and life.

Bachelor's degree in music is most always a degree of liberal Arts and therefore does not restrict only one musician. There are several career one can continue with music.

A person who understands music theory would typically pay close attention to what you are listening to music. Musicians will listen for rhythm, melody, harmony, Note tile, point counterpoint, momentum, etc ... the best someone hears and be able to understand the nuances in their music, as much as they can enjoy it.

4) tablature and this is the same as reading music?

Tablature will not be considered as read music. Tablature is a system that shows guitar players exactly what notes and chords to play, shows where you will place the fingers on the neck of guitar Tablature. providing sufficient information is not to play the music, as it was written, with tablature you need to know the song to be able to play it, as it was written.

Tablature is a very efficient tool for musicians and players alike, and is widely used by both. Exact player tablature will allow to copy a piece of very close to how it was written if they are familiar with the piece of music.

Tablature is not the same thing as read music, but it is a very useful tool for learning Note for Note transcriptions, and is a good learning tool as well.

5) what is the best way to learn music theory?

I think the best way to learn music theory is through formal musical education. music studies can be obtained at a school that teaches music or private teaching or Learning music theory lessons. without the help of the teacher is possible, but it would be a challenge.

My personal experience is that the best time to learn music theory when a person is young people between the ages of 8 and 12, or when a child is in elementary school; learning opportunities successfully music theory seems to be much better when the music education from an early age.
