Re: [AN1x] MUSIC THEORY

2003-01-28 by xpander

Your approach cannot be "wrong" if it works for you (IE- it allows you 
to challenge yourself and take pride in the music you create).

Sure- I read music- not as well as I used to , but I can still read (& 
I've had some college Music theory as well).

IMHO- these are just tools to help me make music.  That's it in a 
nutshell.
