everyone hates theory! but i think it's quite interesting because you learn about the structure of music and how it all works! this is what makes music so interesting!

Playing is by far my favorite, but theory is fascinating, understanding how music is structured, and composing your own is great !

hiy all!

i think i will go on practical and directing (practical kinda stuff) for my favourite area, but i have got to admit that i loooove analysing others composistions and works. i like to find out why the composer choose to do that in a specific way as opposed to another way. i like seeing the characteristics in certain music and just understanding the thinling behind the work. i think that way you can appreciate the music soo much more and enjoy the piece.

i think that makes sense somehow???

If you would have asked me this question 2 years ago my answer would have been completely different, since at that point i wouldnt have know the first thing about music theory and would have been just starting to do my grade 2!!

History - I love history - any form of history really!! biggrin.gif
Practical - i love practical but because i put a lot of pressure onto myself to do my grade 8 too soon really i've kind of come to hating it in some ways cos instead of going in steps i just tried to do too much too soon, which, believe me, is NEVER good!! ph34r.gif
Theory - a again too much too fast!! Grade 5 theory within one school term (about 3 months)!! Incredebly difficult especially since i'm totally thick as far as technical things go!! sad.gif
