Musicians need to learn Music Theory, the components of music and its building blocks such as notations, notes, scales, rules of harmony and ear training. Once the basics have been mastered, and after lots of practice, the best place in Asia to turn to for advanced training is with the Asian Youth Orchestra. The Asian Youth Orchestra is Asia's premier pre-professional orchestra, which offers opportunities for advanced study, performance and international concert touring experiences

The Importance of Music Theory
Music theory provides a way to name what we are doing and intentionally to reframe and create new musical ideas. Music theory also facilitates the coordination and collaboration of a pianist, guitarist, violinist, trumpet players, and other instrumentalists. Those who study theory obtain a professional command of the basics required to advance their development and exploitation of various contemporary music genres. It is possible to play and work as musicians without learning the basics of theory, but don't shy away from learning.  Music Theory has many multiple benefits and will move your career forward. Here some things that the right education could do for you:

Writing Music Down
The ability to hear music using your ear and write it down is must have skill. Writing makes music shareable and assisting you in playing it just as the composer intended.

To write music down, you have to study common notation. It’s is easy to learn, and the system is used by all musicians all over the world. By studying with the Asian Youth Orchestra, you’ll learn how to write music quickly, and participate in its composition.

Music Theory Enhances Music Performance
Rhythm, harmony, and melody collectively enhance any performance. By studying music theory, you’ll become familiar with these basics of music that distinguish different genres.  Advanced training on these core concepts will also aid established musicians. A deeper understanding of music theory helps the musician create sophisticated ornaments by knowing when to vary pitch and durations.

Create Music Accurately from Your Ideas
Getting stuck happens to every musician, but those with a good grasp of music theory, musicians can better articulate what they hear. For example, music theory teaches you to name the function of the chords, giving you a way to train your ear to quickly figure out the exact names of chords being played.

Venturing into music theory can feel complicated and intimidating; but with time and lots of practice, it can be mastered.
