Question: Do I really need a Piano Theory book!?
What is a theory book anyway!? I know it's like a workbook that involves writing and helps you read music!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Learning music theory (how to read music and understand the inner workings of it) is extremely beneficial to anyone learning an instrument!. So, in my opinion, yes, you need a piano theory book in order to truly learn to play!.

A theory book will generally have exercises to help you learn time signatures, key signatures, the notes on the staff, scales, and chord types!. It'll also have other basic things such as what dynamic symbols mean, as well as other things!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Music theory is vital!. It explains how and why the music works!.

A lot of it actually doesn't make that much sense, but makes sense of the music!. Music is highly illogical but it has its own internal logic, which you need to learn!.

People who can 'fake it' have a good command of music theory!. They may have taken the hard way and figured out a few things on their own, or they may have taken the efficient way and learned it through a book!.

Yes, you absolutely do need a theory book!. What's a D major chord in first inversion!? Why does that matter!? Because there are three -more, actually- D major chords that can be played and each one gives a different feeling in the context of a song!.

Do you want to play jazz!? If you do, you'll need a lead sheet!. To understand a lead sheet, you'll need music!. Do you want to improvise a guitar solo!? You'll need to understand scales!. Do you want to write your own two-voice music or play in a group!? You'll need to understand harmony!.

Some people resist books because they think that it will destroy their creativity, or they're somehow more hardcore because they rejected The Establishment!. Those people are silly!.

Understanding music theory will help you express yourself more easily and with a higher degree of complexity than those who have tried to learn it by making up their own guitar solos!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I actually enjoy theory and truly use its concepts to break apart a piece of music!. Learning sequences and being able to predict what will come next helps immensely when sight reading!. One of my favorite examples of theory is the "circle of fifths" which helped me learn key signatures!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Yes, you do!.

Many music students don't *like* doing theory, but it will ultimately help you understand music on a higher level, will help you with your interpretation, and will make you a much more respectable musician!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
