I never really liked theory classes very much. To be honest, I was never that good at them. I’ve definitely learned more from using my ears rather than my brain.
- Musician Jacob Collier
I too, find music theory confounding, but unlike musical polymath Collier, I don’t have much of an ear to fall back on.
Which is possibly why I learned so much from his appearance on Vox's Earworm, above. He lent me his ears.
