#Rules
1. Stay on topic. All posts must relate to music theory.
2. Civility. Disagreements and discussion are great, but hostility, insults, and so on aren't. Any critiques should be focused on ideas, never on individual users.
3. No homework help on specific assignments. It is against the Academic Honesty Policy of most schools and courses. Our subscribers generally dislike this kind of behavior. Please ask your IRL teacher/tutor for homework help instead. It's important that we get such posts taken down ASAP, so in addition to reporting, please report such posts.
4. Don't make this place annoying. Memes and so forth are fine, but mods reserve the right to remove inappropriate or overposted material.
5. Promotion. Promotion of one's content is allowed, provided it is not excessive or mindless. If you regularly post your content but do not otherwise interact with the community, you will be banned. If you link to something that costs money, you must say so in your post.

Thank you for sharing this, I really had no idea about this despite having played music for a long time, and trusted what Adam Neely said blindly.
The guy has a bachelor's degree in performance from what amounts to a trade school. He's a reasonably competent musician, but just like I wouldn't expect a plumber with the same education attainment to be an expert in materials science and the history of municipal engineering, I wouldn't expect a bass player with a performance degree to be an expert in music theory, music history, conducting, linguistics, or any of the other fields Neely comments upon when he has an agenda.
