What is the easiest part you find with learning Music theory?

[pianoplayjl]

There was a topic about problems with music theory so I thought it might be funny and weird to create a topic about easiest part of learning music theory, for example Intervals, cadences, time signature, etc.

I'll start: the easiest part for me is learning the scale degress: tonic, supertonic, mediant, subdominant, dominant, submediant, leading note.

Since the parralel "hardest part" thread started the day before has 10 replies to this ones (up til now)  zero, I'm guessing that no-one much finds any part of music theory easy.

Or maybe people just enjoy bitching. 

Having forgotten the bulk of what relatively little theory I ever knew (without much harm, I have to say) I'd guess that that which I learnt most easily is that which remains with me still.

Note names, time signatures and notation conventions (key signatures, accidentals, ornaments, phrasing marks etc).

That's even a hard question! 

The easiest way I learned theory was from people who needed the money.
Thus - they spoke in language that made sense.

University professors used so many unrecognizable terms that I sometimes felt lost.
