Yea, theory is hit pretty hard quite a bit, but I think it's a lot easier to love music, than to love theory. Haha. The difference is that music is an application. I'm very close to being perfect pitched, I'm about half a step off or so, but it has a lot to do with my voice. I sing in church choir and when I see a note, I have a memorization of how tight my vocal chords should be to hit that note. So that's why my pitch is pretty close to perfect.
