Music Theory
Verse 1
Is music just a theory we’re still trying to prove?
A science project that makes your body move?
You can’t put rhythm in a test tube, man —
But it sure does dance when you clap your hands!
Chorus
Music theory, let’s make it clear:
It’s more than notes you see and hear.
It’s a puzzle made of melody playin’ in your brain —
That funky math we can’t explain!
Verse 2
I drew a treble clef in math class once,
Teacher said, “Kid, that’s not what it means to count.”
But harmony has numbers too,
One plus groove equals something new!
Bridge
Don’t stress the rules — just feel the beat,
Tap your toe, move your seat!
Theory’s just the way we try
To write down what makes us fly!
[NEW] Verse 3
Scales are like stairs for your fingers and feet,
Up and down, but don’t miss a beat.
Miss a step? You’ll hear it for sure —
That’s your ears giving theory a tour!
[NEW] Verse 4 - Percussion
Learn from wood, clay, metal and skin,
Every drum’s got lessons tucked in!
Tap a block, thump a pot, let a cymbal sing —
See, a piano’s a drum when hammers swing!
Hammer dulcimer too, my friend,
It’s the striking of a string that makes music begin!
[NEW] Chorus 2
Music theory, now we rehearse:
Why a chord can end a verse.
Why a rest can steal the show —
The sound of silence we all know!
Final Verse
This theory will only grow,
It moves and has its places it wants to go.
Each instrument has something to show,
Something waiting for you to learn, something waiting for you to know.
You can never know all you can know,
So practice — sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
[NEW] Breakdown/Teachable Bit
Major sounds happy, minor sounds blue,
A seventh chord says “I’m not through!”
Sharps climb up and flats slide down,
Both the highs and lows to create new sound!
Outro
I’m simply following the percussion of the rain,
Each note was not created in vain.
More than a mixture of my love and my pain —
It’s the theory of the music that runs through my veins.
Everything flows naturally now — it builds from curiosity and humor into soulful understanding.
So , I ask everyone in class is music simply a theory ?
