  • hey, welcome to 12tone.

    嘿,歡迎來到 12 tone

  • a while back I did a video about what music theory was and what it means to me.

    不久前我做了一支影片關於什麼是樂理和樂理對我的意義

  • I had a lot of fun making it and led us to some really interesting conversations with y'all,

    做影片時有許多快樂時光,讓我們進行了一些非常有趣的對話

  • so today I wanted to try another slightly more philosophical topic.

    所以今天我想試試一個稍微比較哲學思考的話題

  • I talked about why I study music theory, now I want to look at why I think you should.

    我之前說過為什麼我要學樂理,現在我想要去探討為什麼我覺得你也應該學

  • I get asked about this every once in a while, and it tends to come from two types of people:

    每過一陣子我就會被問這個問題,通常是被以下這兩種人問

  • non-musicians wondering why they should care, and self-taught musicians worried that learning the rules

    沒學過音樂的好奇他們為什麼要在乎,而自學音樂的擔心如果學了這些理論

  • will mess with their personal style.

    會破壞他們的個人風格

  • they're both important, but they're actually pretty different questions,

    這兩個問題都很重要,但其實還蠻不一樣的

  • so for this video I'm just gonna focus on the first one.

    所以這支影片我只會專心談第一個問題

  • if you're never gonna write or arrange a song, if you don't play an instrument or work somewhere in the industry,

    如果你們之後不會寫歌或編曲,不演奏樂器,也沒有在這個產業工作

  • why does music theory even matter?

    怎麼可能覺得樂理重要?

  • what's the point?

    意義何在?

  • well, the thing is, music is everywhere.

    嗯,但問題在於,音樂其實無所不在

  • it surrounds us.

    音樂圍繞著我們

  • it's an inescapable part of our lives.

    它是我們生活中無法避免的一部份

  • over the course of your lifetime, how many times do you think you've gone an entire day

    縱觀你的人生,有多少次你覺得你一整天

  • without hearing music? it's on the radio when you drive to work,

    都沒有聽到音樂?當你開車上班,它在收音機上播放著

  • it's in your headphones, when you're at the gym,

    當你在健身房運動,它在你的耳機播放著

  • it's in the background of parties you go to, movies you watch,

    它總是背景音樂,在你參加的派對,你去看的電影

  • and stores you shop at.

    和你去逛的商店

  • it's worked its way into every nook and cranny of our society, and when we interact with something that often,

    我們的社會中處處都是它的蹤影,當我們經常和這樣的東西互動

  • it's probably something worth knowing about.

    就很可能是值得我們去了解的

  • sometimes, though, people are concerned that if they learn too much about technique

    髓然有時候人們會擔心如果他們對技術面了解太多

  • they'll lose sight of the art and beauty of music, but I can tell you from experiences

    他們會看不見音樂的巧妙和美好,但我可以告訴你,以過去的經驗來說

  • that's just not true.

    就不是那麼一回事

  • to quote Carl Sagan, "It does no harm to the romance of the sunset to know a little bit about it.”

    美國天文學家Carl Sagan曾說:去了解一點點關於夕陽的知識,並不會妨礙我們欣賞它浪漫的美

  • I can tell you a song gave you chills because of a well-placed appoggiatura

    我可以告訴你一首歌讓你起雞皮疙瘩,是因為一個安排得宜的倚音

  • or a deceptive resolution, but just because I have a name for it

    或是一個令人迷惑的張力解決,這只因為我知道代表這個現象的名詞

  • doesn't mean it didn't send a shiver down my spine too.

    並不代表它沒有也讓我倒抽一口氣

  • understanding theory, composition, and arranging lets you listen more actively,

    了解理論、作曲、編曲,讓你聆聽時更主動

  • and it gives you a deeper appreciation, letting you identify not just that something moved you, but how and why.

    讓你更深的欣賞,讓你不只找到讓你感動的的東西,還知道它影響你的方式和原因

  • it makes you a partner in the experiences, instead of just a passenger.

    這讓你成為聆賞經驗的一份子,而不只是過客

  • but not all music is technically advanced.

    但也不是所有音樂都含有傑出的技巧

  • some people worry that learning too much theory will ruin their enjoyment of simple songs,

    有些人擔心如果學了太多理論會破壞他們享受簡單的歌曲

  • but again, in my experience, that doesn't happen.

    但我要再次強調,從我的經驗來看,沒發生那種事

  • if anything, understanding the complex side makes simplicity more impressive.

    如果有影響,也是因為了解了複雜的那面,會對簡單的那面更印象深刻

  • I've found I enjoy listening to pop music a lot more than I did when I started studying.

    我發現自己比起剛開始學樂理的時候,更享受聆聽流行音樂

  • there's a lot of subtlety and nuance that goes into a good pop song:

    有很多微妙的細膩的東西出現在好的流行歌曲中

  • they have to be completely unique while still sounding like everything else.

    這些歌曲必須完全獨特但仍要聽起來像其他歌曲

  • it's a really tough tightrope to walk.

    這是如同走鋼索般艱鉅的任務

  • there's also a difference between appreciation and passion.

    欣賞和熱情中間也有不同

  • learning theory has definitely made me appreciate jazz more, but if I want to unwind,

    學習樂理後絕對有讓我更欣賞爵士樂,但如果我想要放鬆一下

  • I'm still gonna listen to the same Rob Zombie songs I did when I was a teenager,

    我還是會去聽羅伯殭屍的歌,如同我還是青少年的時候

  • 'cause that's the music I love.

    因為那是我熱愛的音樂

  • I didn't lose that; I just found new things I liked too.

    我沒有失去這個喜好。我只是找到我也喜歡的新東西

  • and if that's not enough, there's also a utilitarian argument.

    然後如果說成這樣還不夠,還有個功利的理由

  • lots of different jobs intersect with music, from marketing to film to event planning.

    很多不同的工作都跟音樂有關,從市場行銷,到電影製作、到活動企劃

  • you might have friends in a band, or maybe your son produces a youtube series about music theory, mom.

    你可能有玩樂團的朋友,或你有個做一系列樂理知識影片到YouTube的兒子,媽啊

  • there are plenty of reasons you might be interacting with musicians,

    有足夠多的理由說明你可能會與音樂人互動

  • so even if you don't use it yourself, knowing how to talk about music has value.

    所以儘管你自己不會用到這些理論,知道如何談論音樂是有價值的

  • you know, in case you weren't convinced by the whole "surrounding yourself with beauty" thing.

    你知道,除非你並沒有被「用美圍繞自己」這件事說服

  • there is a potential downside, though.

    雖然這也有個潛在的壞處

  • I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, it's become hard to turn my active listening habits off.

    我沒辦法幫其他人說話,但對我來說,把主動聆賞的習慣關掉變得越來越難

  • whenever I hear music, I'm deconstructing arrangements, learning melodies,

    無論何時,我只要聽到音樂,就會開始解構編曲結構,去學旋律,

  • and writing counterlines in my head.

    然後在腦中寫對位旋律

  • I can't help it.

    我忍不住

  • it makes listening to music more rewarding, but it also makes it distracting.

    這讓聽音樂有更多收穫,但也讓人分心

  • listening to music takes effort now, and if I don't feel like putting that effort in

    現在聽音樂需要付出努力,如果我不覺得自己有付出那樣的努力

  • I can't really enjoy it.

    就沒辦法真正享受音樂

  • background music tends to bug me, and I try to avoid it when I can.

    背景音樂經常會煩到我,當我可以的時候我會試著避免

  • on the other hand, I know plenty of composers and musicians who are the complete opposite:

    另一方面,我知道非常多作曲家和音樂家正好完全相反

  • they always want to be surrounded by music no matter what they're doing.

    他們總是希望被音樂環繞,無論他們在做什麼

  • and really, unless you're working with music every day like I am, I doubt this'll be a problem for you anyway,

    而且真的,除非你是像我一樣整天做音樂工作,我想這對你來說不會是問題

  • but it's worth recognizing that learning theory will change how you think about music.

    但值得了解的是,學習樂理會改變你對音樂的想法

  • that's kinda the point.

    這算是重點

  • so what do y'all think?

    你們怎麼想呢?

  • I assume most of our regular viewers are musicians of some sort, but if you're not, why do you

    我猜我大部分的觀眾某種程度上都是音樂人,但如果你不是的話,為什麼你會

  • want to learn this stuff? and if you are a musician, why do you think others should?

    想要學這種東西?又如果你是音樂人,你覺得為什麼其他人應該學?

  • I mean, do you think others should? is there a point to lay people learning our craft,

    我的意思是,你覺得其他人應該學嗎?讓其他人學我們的技術有意義嗎?

  • or should we be trying to scare them away so they don't replace us?

    或我們應該試著把他們嚇跑,他們就不會搶我們的飯碗?

  • let me know your thoughts, and feel free to share this video

    告訴我你的想法,歡迎分享這支影片
