Learning theory is important on any instrument. It's just easier to understand it using the keyboard as a basis. The keyboard is a map of the relationships of the notes. It's also possible to play complete chords and see how they work.

What are major chords and minor chords in keyboard?
The difference between Major and Minor chords is use of the 3rd note. If we'll use the third note flat it will become a minor chord and will produce a soft sound and if we'll use the third note normal the chord will be major.
