I used to be a HUGE music theory buff, that is up until the day that my life got easier more complicated by computers. I used to play the Baritone saxophone during my 4 year stay at [shortlink:google,Rosemount High School,Rosemount High School]. Additionally, I took AP Music Theory where the test involved listening to the teacher play on the piano and write down on sheet music what she was playing. The toughest part was always the first note (especially for those who do not have [shortlink:google,Perfect Pitch,Perfect Pitch] or other ability), then the rest was just a simple progression of notes.

I sometimes wish I had a piano, and even better yet I wish I was really good at playing one. If you are wondering what sparked this thought process, it involves eating dinner and browsing google videos. This one particularly caught my eye:

I do realize that he probably has sheet music, and he even most likely downloaded it from the internet. I still wish I could play even half as good as he can. I guess that will be a good goal for me to attempt when I get out into the work force.

Edit: While looking for a good icon to use for my music category I found this amusing link : Advanced Mathematics in Music Theory. It's a very interesting read for those who like music theory and mathematics.
