The rising popularity of the use of "contemporary music" for worship in Christian churches has created an ever-growing body of music professionals who, coming largely from a rock-influenced folk idiom, are often untrained in music theory. As the style of music has shifted from the traditional model, stemming from classical genres, to one dominated by popular music, many of these musicians see theory education as impractical or at least unneeded given their particular stylistic approach. In order to address this issue, a method must be developed, departing from standard methods of theory pedagogy to one employing selected concepts and applications pertaining particularly to the context the contemporary worship setting and presenting them in a manner immediately beneficial to these musicians' vocational considerations. This thesis serves as a possible solution by proposing such a method and comparing it to the approaches of three major theory methods on these terms.
