Dear Theory 3,

Dear Theory 3,
First I'd like to address your DISTANT cousin classes-Theory 1 and 2.

Dear Theory 1 and 2,
I would like to take a moment to thank you for everything you have taught me pertaining to music.  I can now understand why music is written the way it is.  I appreciate all of your rules limiting me to what I can and can not do.  You make writing music for me much simpler-to where I can understand it.  Though it was a rough year I indeed made it through victorious.  I would love to come back to you and get to stay in the same key each movement and I loved how when you stated a key- you actually stayed true to your word.  Your cousin-Theory 3 is  a liar from birth.  So I appreciate all you did for me.
Love,
Meg

Dear Theory 3,
You are evil.  I can now understand total depravity at its deepest because of you.  Before music was ever created-Bach and Beethoven decided to screw up all of us music students by making us all attempt to decipher why they decided to change keys 575787473 times in a piece.  You take each rule theory 1 and 2 taught us and break them.  You deserve a summons form.  You don't stay true to your key signature-and in fact-you often do a direct modulation and change the sound all together.  Though that one is easiest to hear- I will never understand why you do it.  I despise relative modulations because they sound so close together and yet I still have to be able to hear the difference within a movement between D and A.  They are only 1 sharp away- why can't you just stay with 2 sharps OR just take the plunge and start with 3.  I surely hope to pass your class because you are wrecking every aspect of music I currently have.  However I can hardly await the day when I understand the concept of modulations; I question if it will ever arrive, but my friends who graduated from you tell me it's possible; we'll see about that.
NOT love,
 Meg
