Really great tips! My favorite method is by song. However, you need to be familiar with A LOT of songs. For my less experienced students, the solfiege scale method is great. But, some students just can't sing. That's when the quality method is useful. I start them with major and minor 3rds. Happy vs. Sad. Most everyone can hear this difference.
I know it can seem complicated, but at the core of it, music theory is just listening to music and trying to figure out what the musician did to create it, then applying that to the music you make yourself. There are lots of tools to help you get better at that, like listening to intervals and analyzing music, but really it's just about appreciating music and making music yourself.

Thanks for the comment! I'm all about breaking things down and making music theory more accessible and less intimidating.

Yes! I totally agree. I've seen the same things with my own students. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I know that understanding music theory is the key being a better musician, but is it intimidating.
