Working on the latest one now! If there's any jazz standards that you want me to cover, let me know!

Hi Mr. Boaz I love melody however is it necessary to know or understand theory ?

[@chipboazmusic]

That's a great question Joe. Also a deep one - I might need to do a full video on this one. You could certainly learn a melody like this and play it without understanding the theory behind it. But the theory is going to deepen your understanding of the melody and provide you more options when you want to interpret or embellish the melody. If you're going to leap from the melody and improvise, theory is going to be pretty important in a jazz song like this. But really, take it one step at a time. Learn the melody and then learn some little bits of the theory and step towards a fuller understanding. It can seem overwhelming at first, but take one step forward every day and you'll get there!
