Composing without music theory knowledge
on: July 07, 2010, 04:07:33 PM
Is it possible to compose decent music without having a background in music theory? I want to play around with it, but I feel like not knowing music theory could be prohibitive (not knowing relative minors, etc). Do any of you do this? Out of curiosity, are there any well known composers who didn't have strong backgrounds in music theory?
