On this episode, Adrian and Taylor talk about general aspects of music theory, how it has impacted their compositions, what it can do, what they believe it needs to do, etc. We have to issue a disclaimer with this episode, we are two students and we still don't know everything there is to know about music theory, we understand that and this is just our opinion, and is in no way intended to cause any problems. All of our statements are to shed light that everything we are taught may not be everything that's out there and the curriculums in many schools are always works in progress. Please enjoy!

Thank you for listening! A few edits: The end of the break was more like 15 seconds, not 30, and the little bit about Beethoven was in the Music Appreciation class at Boise State University, that anecdote is quite sad but informative.
