Lol guys. I want a forum topic. Not a simple thread. I want something that an admin would make as a general topic, so we can make threads in the said topic.

As for my personal education, I've done the music college thing. I've studied music from Bach to Bartok. I'm just hoping to be able to aide other people in music theory. I teach it for a living. I'm looking to help any others that would otherwise be lost in theory, and perhaps exchange ideas on other higher concepts. I know jazz theory is still a bit of a grey area for me, though I can guess most of it correctly anyway. Is there any way to go about doing this?

The best we can offer is for you to make a thread and a mod to sticky it so it stays at the top of the page.

Suppose if someone asks "How do you make a major triad?" and then (in the same thread), someone asks "If I'm in Bb dorian and I want to modulate to Db major, how could I do that?", might that be confusing if in the same thread?

I think for a musician like myself, yes, knowing theory can be really beneficial. But for a garden variety guitar player, no it's not necessary to know all the ins and outs of music notation.

No, because I have the ability to answer two separate questions. I don't see how it would be confusing to have two questions that are of a similar topic in the same thread.

Why don't you start with just a single thread for music theory and we'll see how it goes from there. If it seems like it's getting so many responses that it could warrant its own forum then we can discuss doing that.

Suppose the one question turns into a discussion spanning 20+ comments. This is now mixed in with 10 other questions. Wouldn't it be difficult to filter through and follow the course of just the one question?

If I were to make one thread myself, where do you feel I should place it? I'm thinking General Music would be the best bet.

And as for being able to know theory... yes. It would be beneficial for anyone playing any instrument. Music is a language. If you can give a good public speech, but can't read or write, are you really that good?

A 20 comment thread is not particularly long, I don't think people would get confused. And, like I said, if the response becomes so overwhelming we can then discuss creating its own forum.

I think the best place would probably be "Talk Instruments".

Also, I find that people who are music students and who need to take classes in music theory often already have a support network in real life that they can go to if they need help with homework. When I need help with my music homework, I will often go to my boyfriend first with my questions and we can work out the solutions together, before I go to post a question about it online.
Lets be honest here, I'm finishing up a music degree and I have no idea what that is without looking it up

You're making a mountain out of a molehill. If there were such a demand for theory answers as to make it impossible to follow a discussion, we would already have the forum. There is no point in getting this excited before you've seen what the thread is like.
