I'm a film buff with more than 1400 films logged on Letterboxd but I want to expand my horizons.How do I get into music /mu/?I know I'm going to have to learn about music theory, music history and music criticism but how do I go about doing that?How do I go about realizing which bands are innovative and important to the medium, especially when I hate the album format (a big reason why I got into film rather than music)?

>>128898993Tits or GTFO
>>128898993I'll try to give you some starting points.>learn about music theoryLearn an instrument. Get one of those dinky little pianos. It's impossible without practice. I said this before, we don't see music theory in our mind's eye as much as we feel it in our mind's hand>music historyEverything 1965-present is probably best to learn about via memes. 1600-1899 is the main era for pretty much all classical music, not just European. 1900-1965 is more classical, advent of recorded music, and jazz. Everything before the 17th century is just gregorian chant and ritual drumming and shit. Choose the era that most interests you I guess.>music criticismYou'll develop this automatically from studying theory and history.
Here's a very brief introduction to music
Wow, this thread really didn't go how I thought it would
