That's rather unique.

Hopefully they will bring out an inventive soundscape synth version, hardcore Accordion. Perhaps a fitting style that would fit in Hacktivist.

That's funny now, but be very careful what you wish for.

Theory is theory, the instrument is irrelevant. Having a solid foundation in music theory may make it easier to grasp what another instrument is capable of (as would knowledge in arranging and orchestration) but not necessarily make it easier to play ... any instrument requires a lot of practice, there are no shortcuts.iWalkEast wrote:I've always thought piano was the best to learn for the sake of learning music theory.. I also thought learning guitar would teach you music theory the same, am I wrong? Isn't it that once you know enough music theory its easier to pick up any other instrument?

I found a similar thing learning the cello, I wasn't really learning the notes, or how to read music; just that this mark here meant that finger there.Wonks wrote:There's also a difference between learning on a monophonic instrument and a polyphonic one. I learnt to play the trumpet when I was young, gave it up after grade 5, but in hindsight I didn't really learn any theory apart from note lengths; I just read the notes from the sheet music and played them. You got to know the fingering for a note and then it was (fairly) easy to sight-read. Didn't really help me at all when I took up guitar and it takes me a long time to read a piece of music and work out the notes, whereas with the trumpet I didn't really think too much about the note names, just that it was a certain note on the stave and I used x combination of valves to play it.
