It takes most people alot of itme to learn how but it doesn't have to. Spend some time on wikihow and if you really want a shortcut check out the link related to this post.

∙ 12y agoGenerally speaking, the more Music Theory knowledge you have the better. It is not necessary to understand music theory to play music. For example, you can sing or pound out notes on a piano without any music theory training. It is possible to learn an instrument with only a limited amount as well. However, usually note reading, chords and chord progressions, major and minor scales, modes, intervals, etc. are critical for improving as a musician. While these skills do not necessarily need to be learned in a music theory setting, they will likely be gained as a process of improving as a musician. Studying music theory itself is likely to speed up that process and allow faster growth as a musician.
