I have been playing the guitar for over a year now, by using chords from the websites and stuff. But I think it would do me good if I learned a bit of music theory and could read sheet music. The problem is that the only time I am free is past midnight and I don’t think I’d be able to take any classes for this.
So, does anyone know of any site or any book which can help me out a bit here? Thanks in advance.

I’ve been playing the piano for about 6 years and i’m a freshman in high school. I plan on taking a music theory class next year in hopes of being able to improve my piano performance. I also want to take this so that I may earn a scholarship at a University (UNT or TCU). Is this a wise decision to make by taking this music theory class? What should I expect in that class?
Yes. It will help you to memorize the pieces you play. Instead of being concerned that you remember what is on the page, you will remember melodic lines and chordal changes. It will not help your technique, however. Your piano teacher will do that. BUT, the music theory will help in interpretation and memorization. Definitely…a good class for you to take.
I hope they give you sight singing. You will need that if you go to music school. I found that they glanced over that when I was in high school. You will learn how to write music. There will be a study of chordal progressions and how they are assembled to write particular styles of music.
Music theory is one of the most important classes you can take if you will major in music. VERY VERY IMPORTANT.
BUT, I will say this to you…don’t do it. Minor in music. Don’t go with the major. You will finish and go…how will I make a living? Teach? You have a 1 in a 10000 chance of making enough to survive. Don’t do it. I made that mistake and now I am an accountant getting ready to sit for the CPA Exam.
I will tell you that I am an AWESOME pianist. Not just good…when I was in school the students use to comment that the way I play is the reason why they went to school for music. Like I say…don’t do it. Become an engineer or something like that. Make the denaro and then go into music…
Sorry to be a wet blanket but I am trying to save your life. I don’t want you to end up like me…trying to catch up for 10 years of mistake.

Music courses are a great way to learn about virtually any area of music; history, theory, and musical instrument instruction — you name it and somewhere music courses specialize in it. Though generally found through colleges, universities or high school programs, courses are also offered via one-on-one instruction with a private teacher or community-based workshops. Some churches even offer courses as a complement to their choirs; the courses may be offered to the general public, but they’re often geared toward the choir members and congregation.
In the last few years, however, a new dimension to learning music has appeared in the form of the internet the world wide web. Now instead of being limited to classroom courses, students are free to create their own schedules and learn at their own pace. A quick search on Google or Yahoo will turn up online courses in:
-Chord Piano
-Classical Piano For Beginners
-Improvising on the Piano & Guitar
-Rock Guitar
-Praise & Worship Guitar
-Killer Drum Instuctions
-Black Gospel Piano
-Jazz Piano
and many many more
Music courses offered by colleges are generally far more in-depth than other courses and are usually only available to degree-seeking students (though some colleges offer courses as part of their continuing education programs). Lower level college courses often focus on an amalgamation of music theory and history, teaching individual theory concepts based on the historical period to which they are particular. As the courses grow in skill level so too does the number of specialized topics. Advanced courses are available for nearly every historical music period and are sometimes based on one particular movement. Advanced courses for theory grow increasingly more difficult and slowly teach every detail found in modern theory; it’s during the theory courses that students intending to major in music have their skills challenged the most — some even refer to these music courses as a weeding out period.
Instrument-based courses are equally as tough at the college level, though they usually assume a working knowledge of the instrument before the class begins. Those wishing to learn an instrument, therefore, are better off with private courses or courses offered by a community orchestra or social group. These courses will focus on the basic details of learning an instrument, starting from the very beginning. Fingering, theory and music reading will be covered, in addition to the occasional bit of history. Students of these courses may then wish to move on to college-level courses after completing a few years of private instruction.
But for those more interested in recreational music in other words, music that is played for personal enjoyment or to entertain family and friends, college music classes are not at all necessary. The internet abounds with wonderful courses that will help you do everything from play at your church to accompany your child on their flute or trombone, or even play in a jazz or rock or fusion or country group.

I’m trying to get through my music theory homework and I’m having some difficulty distinguishing between a minor interval and a diminished interval…
We only have two notes per chord (someone suggested looking at the third note… of which there are NONE) and they DO use flats and sharps.
So, 10 points to whomever can explain how to find a minor interval, a diminished interval, and how to tell the difference between the two in the simplest way.
Thanks in advance!
There are five types of intervals: Perfect (P), Major (M), Minor (m), Augmented (A), and Diminished (d). 5ths, 4ths, 8ths, and unisons are the Perfect intervals. When you increase a Major or Perfect interval by a half step you get an augmented interval. Ex: C to G is a P5 and a C to a G# is an A5.
A minor interval is created when you decrease a Major interval by a half step and only a Major interval. Ex: C to E is a M3 and C to Eb is a m3.
There are two ways to create a diminished interval:
1. By decreasing a Major interval by 1 full step. Ex: C# to A# is a M6 and C# to Ab is a d6.
or
2. By decreasing a Perfect interval by a half step. Ex: C to F is a P4 and C to Fb is a d4.
It can be a bit confusing at first but you should have no problem once you get it.
