Grammar is like music theory

a: Grammar ~
b: music theory

What: "When comparing a language to music, reading music is like reading a language. Grammar is like music theory--a lot of good music has been written by people who never studied species counterpoint, have never heard of Schenkerian analysis, and cannot read figured bass. Like grammar, music theory was developed to analyze "good" music more than as an aid in composition."
