Impact of Theory Lesson Engagement on Performance Scores

This plot shows how time spent on music theory lessons relates to a musician’s performance score. The horizontal axis represents the minutes spent on theory, and the vertical axis displays the performance score, from 0 to 100%. Each dot on the plot is an individual musician’s data, with different colors for Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced learning levels. While the dots are spread out, which highlights that everyone learns a bit differently and progresses at their own pace, there’s a clear upward trend. This trend line suggests that generally, more time put into theory lessons leads to slightly better performance scores. So, even with individual variations, understanding music theory seems to give a small but consistent boost to overall musical skill.
