Music theory is the study of the frameworks, practices, and possibilities used to understand, create, perform, and analyze music. It includes basic musical notation, such as key signatures, time signatures, rhythm, scales, intervals, and pitch, as well as broader investigations into how music is structured and how musicians and composers develop musical ideas. In academic contexts, it also examines historical views of music and seeks to identify general principles and processes underlying musical practices. The scope of music theory extends from abstract systems, such as tuning, tonal organization, proportions, harmony, and rhythm, to practical concerns including composition, performance, orchestration, improvisation, ornamentation, and electronic sound production. It applies to Western and non-Western musical traditions, including written, oral, instrumental, and technological practices. Music theorists use methods such as musical analysis, mathematics, acoustics, statistics, graphic representation, and comparative study, recognizing that music may encompass any organized sonic phenomenon, including silence.
