Need help with a descicon

[MC Swift Like Worm]

So I'm 16 and just starting out out production. Now my problem is I have almost no prior experience in Music. I could take a class for Music theory, which would be a large workload if I understand it right. Or I could take a basic keyboard class which would help me learn notes. Im really stuck though cause looking at my classes next year my workload should already be huge (4 AP). But if it would really help me become better, I think I would be willing to take theory. I know it is important but is easier to learn on my own? Any suggestions?

[Snowgoonsky]

take em both. i really can't tell what your question is, you are wondering which class would be better to take?

[MC Swift Like Worm]

Yeah i only have room for one of them in my schedual

i didnt go to school to learn music or go to any classes i taught myself worked for me thats why i chose another subject just so i could get experience in somthing else just incase music didnt turn out so great uno think ahead

[GanjaKidd]

honestly if you take keyboard classes you have to learn music theory to read the sheet music so i would go for the keyboard classes

[BeatGenerals]

Yeah keyboard classes would be my choice as well, keep in mind though you can learn a lot of this stuff yourself using the internet!

I think it's up to your characteristic. If you are familiar with self-study, just do it. You may learn music theory here: Real Music Maker | Make Your Beat
If yo want to have more fun, take a class. :-)

Take the keyboarding one and buy some secondhand college music theory textbooks from goodwill, read em, do all the worksheets etc in your spare time.
