Music: Theory and Practice
This is a community to engage in musical theory and practice. What exactly does that mean?
- Musical theory: how people think about music
- Musical practice: creating or listening to music
To that end, this is simply a space for people of varying backgrounds and education to share music and their thoughts about music. Musical study via the history of music is also encouraged.
Rules:
-
Standard GZD rules apply here
-
No elitism tolerated. The value of music is ultimately determined by how socially necessary it is, i.e. how much people like it and interact with it.
-
By the same token, no anti-intellectualism tolerated. Like anything in the world, music is something worthy of study that everyone can always learn more about.
-
No Eurocentricism tolerated. Western (specifically German) music theory and practice being considered inherently superior to the music of other cultures is reactionary.
