Minor chords, major scales, scale degrees, six degrees of separation, separating fact from fiction – how are we supposed to make sense of this without a degree in Jazz piano? Well, we have some good news for you. Music Theory doesn’t need to be scary. And yes, it is an incredibly helpful tool in your music making repertoire.
Music Theory is actually always relevant to you whether you realize it or not. It is simply the process of giving names and numbers to what we like to hear. Whether you’re making polished pop or Tresor-ready techno, learning music theory helps us navigate the musical world and express ourselves more easily.

Bio
9 Theory is the solo project of eclectic LA-based producer, singer/songwriter, and recording/mixing engineer, Gabe Lehner, who has been passionately focused on creating music for nearly 30 years. With a love for learning guitar and writing songs that slowly evolved into an obsession with producing, recording, and making beats, Gabe has come into his own as a renowned producer with a knack for effectively blending different genres of electronic, indie rock, and hip-hop into an original, unique sound. This style of head-bobbing genre-blending has led to collaborations with artists like Emancipator, CloZee, and Champagne Drip, official remixes for many artists including Jason Mraz and BB King, and playing hundreds of live shows including music festivals such as Coachella, Lightning In A Bottle, Camp Bisco, and Electric Forest.
