Music Theory Forum?

[John Ruggero]

I'm looking for a forum like Notat.io for music theory. Does it exist?

[jrethorst]

Reddit and Facebook both have theory forums. I haven't followed them enough to know how similar they are to notat.io.

Thanks jrethorst. I just had a quick look and they are nothing like notat.io, unfortunately. I guess I am looking for a forum for professional music theorists.

It’s quite difficult to find a theory forum that is at a higher level; most discussions are typically started by amateur musicians or students.
One that is fine is at Talk Classical: https://www.talkclassical.com/forums/music-theory.17/

Thanks, OCTO. That's a lot better, but still not what I was looking for. Notat.io could be unique.

https://music.stackexchange.com has interesting commentary, but they're very particular about posting answers.

Thanks, Magister Tekton. I am looking for something more technical aimed at professional theorists. There doesn't seem to be anything like that online. So far, Notat.io is the closest to this, but it specializes in notation.

For example, a site where one could post a Schenkerian or other analysis for comments, debate the various approaches to musical analysis, comment on the interpretations of performances available online to discuss their validity etc.

I'd be interested. I gave up on Reddit as they are mostly uninteresting. Too many questions come from either those who do not understand basics or those pushing "new and better" notation suggestions. Stack Exchange is ok, but like most of these sites, it discourages discussion of older (already answered) questions. Not much activity. I'll look at talk.classical it's on my favorities but I don't remember spending much tine there.

Well, that makes two of us, ttw. If you find anything out there, please post it here.

I found this "https://discuss.societymusictheory.org/" that was retired in 2021. None of the other places I found were that interesting.
