Is Piano Theory Important?

Yes .. and no.

As a self-taught pianist, I have over the years come to appreciate music in all it's forms, including the theory side. It has really showed me how it all fits together not just in a musical sense but expresses pure logic both in and out of the musical world. Having said this I would greatly incourage anyone to one day learn music theory in all its aspects, however, if your just starting out you don't need to know much at all.

Music theory isn't necessary (there I said it) for those who are just wanting to learn there favourite songs or tunes on the piano. I see it more as an extension of music that people grow to appreciate as they appreciate music more. 

Because of this I created pianochordmethod.blogspot.com

Although there are many methods of learning piano out there I thought the methods I relate are simple and easy to understand with a little practice. I intend to allow the site to grow more and more in the future.
