Music Theory Section

Why is the only music theory section listed under the child boards? It seems like a very misleading place to put it.

Best,

Because MOST pianists already know music theory, so it's put in Child Boards, because MOST children are still learning.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "knowing music theory". My experience has shown that very few musicians , in general, know more than the very basics of music theory.

I thought that is was to do with the fact that it is a "sub-board" to the "Main Title".

If so, perhaps it could be changed to something more suitable?
