Summary: Some call it an art and others a science, but most agree that music is an organized set of sounds and rests between sounds. No one knows how long it has existed but the earliest record of written music dates back four thousand years. However, in Iran, there are five thousand year-old figurines holding musical instruments. Given that humans have so much experience with music, there exists a considerable amount of musical theory analyzing the different characteristics of music.

Learn music theory from music instructor Mark W. Black, owner & founder of "Promethean Studios", as he teaches basic essentials of music theory for beginners in this free video series. Mark covers such topics as: the staff, treble clef, bass clef, how to identify notes on the staff, measure, pitch, the quarter rest, ledger lines, notes above the staff, half-notes and whole-notes, counting beats, rests, intervals and counting intervals, half-steps, guitar half steps, characteristics of Western Music, octaves, accidentals, chromatic scale, and enharmonics.
