Bootcamp music theory way too complicated
Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2021 10:22 am
I am really enjoying the bootcamp lessons. However the glut of music theory
at the end of that program is way too complicated and way over my head.
Remember: This is a program for novices who most probably have never played and instrument
or touched a keyboard before.
The instructor is rushing at warp speed through complicated music theory without
much context, which is literally impossible to understand - let along remember -
unless you already know it (which I don't).
As a suggestion I would make the music theory lessons much more incremental and
offer way more context.
The same applies for playing sheetmusic by the way. It is unrealistic to say: This is
how sheet music works. Now play sheetmusic.
This is a skill that most probably takes years to develop and the students should be given
a chance to organically implement that instead of just having their eyes glaze over.
Just food for thought and improvement
