Pity many piano and instrumental teachers don’t teach theory along side (parallel to) their given instrument as Melanie has stated here. Theory really does set students up for a greater sense of the ‘big picture’ and makes them much more well rounded musicians where pieces actually make more sense and encourage students to not just ‘play the notes’ with no understanding.
Thank you Melanie!
