Music theory isn't necessarily whats behind the music and what makes it work. Atonal music has theory and it doesn't always world
scales -- ok. good for showing off to people who don't know much about music... oh and they are good for warm ups too.
sightreading -- dont like it , probably because i suck at it. I like sightsinging though and i can do that -- it's compulsory here for the HSC Music 2 course.
rhythm -- depends on what kind. again, i'm not a great fan of arhythmic music or polyrhythmic music, probably because i like things with a pulse of some kind. That being said, if something is meant to be rubato and is played in strict time, that also doesn't work....
