Music theory is the study of the structural elements of music, including harmony, melody, rhythm, scales, and form, providing a vocabulary for analyzing and composing music. It is taught in schools and conservatories and used by composers, arrangers, and songwriters to understand why music works the way it does and to inform their own writing.
