Whenever I try to learn about theory, my brain just stops functioning, I just can't seem to pick any of it up and retain it. I completely understand and acknowledge how important theory is but my brain just can't make the connection between theory itself and music and it makes me upset sitting down for hours and getting nothing out of theory lessons. I want to learn theory in order to use it and be an effective producer but I really have no interest in theory itself, I find it extremely boring, tedious, and I have a negative reaction to in-depth theory discussion because, well, it's simply boring and stuffy and there's no sort of engagement that you get from actually learning something tactile like playing the piano.
For context, I'm the kind of person who struggles to identify keys and tones and almost flunked out of music theory classes in Audio school.
How do I re-condition myself?
