Hello, UU lovers!
I have a question on music theory (basics of music, not too much details), especially to advanced/professional(?) uke players.
Yesterday at a ukulele circule, I got a new music score.
Me, as beginner uke player but as ex-piano player, I read it straight away and played it.
Whereas, some people, playing uke for over 3-5 years, can read a tab but not notation, so cannot play well until they listened to others to play the music.
I thought I'm happy to help them understood how to read notation, but some questions came up.
Is it really useful for them to understand music theory (really basics, like rhythms, melody, harmony, scales, etc) in the long run? For I have no idea on what's like to play without knowing them...
If so, how? In what occasion, like jam?
For I am still very beginner uker and don't know when it's necessary...
Thanks for your advices, as always
