I’m learning to play Mountain Dulcimer. I’ve never studied string instruments much but I very much want to learn about a lot about chords, intervals, etc. 10 months ago

I recently met Cal, a friend of a friend’s and she just moved in town. I know this city is expensive and so when i learened that she had studied education and was a level 8 pianist, i imediately jumped on the occasion and asked if she’d teach me for a fee. She agreed! We still need to figure out the details, but i think i’ll be taking my first theory class in the very near future! 13 months ago

Half way through my program I realized that it’s not about understanding music notation, but about recognizing what notes I’m hearing, a.k.a. perfect pitch. That’s what I’m working on next. 23 months ago

I’ve begun reading the Idiot’s Guide to Music Theory – got it from the library, naturally – and it’s been really helpful in cutting to the quick of the matter. It’s just what I needed.

I chose to read it through fairly quickly, then go back and revisit it in a more in-depth manner with more practicing and application, sort of a survey followed by a closer look. 2 years ago

and it’s surprisingly informative. This was a goal for 2010, but I never got around to it. I’m really glad I’m finally pursuing it in 2011. 2 years ago
