Learning Basic Music Theory and Reading Notation Beams 



When we learn the music, of course, definitely, we will also learn about the notation. But you know what is meant by the notation? Notation or commonly abbreviated as "not" is the symbol for the sound of music with two tertentu.Ada pitch of notes, the notes musical notes and numbers. Not numbers, as the name implies, the notation is denoted by numbers. While the notation of musical notes are represented by dots, either sessile or not that is placed in-line stave. Stave is a 5-spaced parallel lines and spaces are useful to put the emblem to indicate the duration of each tone and the tone heights. High tones depicted vertically while time (rhythm) depicted horizontally. The duration of the tone is indicated in beats. In the notation, the system of five striped staves used as a basis. Along with the description of the tempo, beats, dynamics, and instrumentation used, not placed on the staves and read from left to right. The duration of the tone is represented with a value not different, while the pitch is represented in the vertical position of the note on the stave. Interval that separated the two notes stave (which is located at two adjacent spaces) as depicted in the illustration below.

How not, so we learn a new song, the ability to read music will accelerate mastery of the song. From available statistics, the average - average pupils have difficulty in reading the musical notes that due to their lack of know how - the right way, or a teacher they do not know / less implement it at each teaching session. 

Here below are the tips to develop the ability to read music (sight reading) with either: 

Observation key (clef), scales (key signatures) and time signature (time signatures). 
See keseleruhan from song to find things that are unexpected, such as: key changes, the interval of the octave, accidental (# / þ) 
Calculate the pulse and ritmiknya! Feel the pulse in our bodies to tap, clap, pat, and snaps! Choose a tempo that is not too fast or too slow! Rhythm is a very important factor in the ability of sight reading. Because without rhythm, the song would not be well formed, although not completely. 
Sing tone with "la", "ma", "na" or tone alphabet "C", "D", "E" of each melody in the right hand and left hand separately. 
Visualize the fingers on the piano keys are played without a ring it, place your fingers on your lap.

Definition of the term - the term Voice, Tone, Rhythm, Notation, melody, and harmony 

The sound of music theory to explain how the sound notated or written and how the sound is captured in the mind of the listener. In music, the sound waves are not usually discussed in wavelength and period, but the frequency. Basic aspects of sound in music is usually described in tuning (pitch, ie pitch), duration (how long the vote there), intensity, and timbre (sound color). 

Voice tone can be divided into a tone that has a certain pitch or tuning of frequency or high according to the relative distance to the pitch of the tone of the benchmark. The difference between the two tones tuning referred to as intervals. The tone can be set in different scales depending. The most common scales are major scales, minor scales, and pentatonic scales. Base notes of a piece of music to determine the frequency of each tone in these works. The tone in the western diatonic music theory identified into 12 tones, each of which is named the tones C, D, E, F, G, A and B. As well as a chromatic tones of the Cis / Des, Dis / Ice, Fis / Ges, Gis / As, and Ais / Bes. 

Rhythm Rhythm is the arrangement of sounds in time. Bars is a division of the group beats in time. Time signature indicates the number of beats in time signatures and notes which are counted and considered as a single tap. Certain tones can be accentuated by giving the pressure (and the distinction duration). 

Notation music notation written above is a depiction of the music. In the notation, pitch depicted vertically while time (rhythm) depicted horizontally. Both of these elements form the staves, in addition to the basic tone cues, tempo, dynamics, and so on. Can be used as, a symbol or to explain the high and low sounds or tones that form an image. 

A melody is a series of melodic tones in time. The circuit can be sounded alone, ie without accompaniment, or may be part of a series of chords in time (usually the highest tone sequences in the chords). Melody tones are formed from a series of horizontally. The smallest unit of a melody is Motif. Motif is three or more tones that have the intent or meaning of the musical. Motif is a combination of Semi phrases, and a combination of Semi phrases are phrases (sentence). A most common melody usually consists of two phrases, namely Semi interrogative sentence (Antisiden) and responsible sentences (Consequent). 
Harmony harmony in general can be said as the incidence of two or more tones sounded simultaneously with different height, although harmony can also occur when the tone - the tone is sounded sequentially (as in arpeggio). Harmony consisting of three or more tones are sounded simultaneously is usually called a chord.

How big is the music influenced the development of 5-year olds? Musical activities are suitable for children, and how to develop their potential to the optimum musical?

Music is closely related to cognitive intelligence. Not only babies who respond quickly when he heard the song often heard while he was in the womb. Children aged 4-5 years to obtain various benefits by making music as part of their daily life.

Research University of Wisconsin, and physicists from the University of California, the United States said that the children who took music lessons, particularly piano, has the capability of abstraction that is needed in the study of mathematics and natural science. Interestingly, this ability is far higher than other children who are learning computer. Music does give a very rich stimulation for the listeners and practitioners.

Another study shows, music associated with creativity thinking and spatial skills of children. Preschoolers who get exercise music and dance shows excellent ability while learning about the body member and creativity. With music, the child develops an optimal capacity.

Penchant for children 5 years of music began to appear such as the joy he sang certain songs or follow the singer on TV singing style. He is also more fun experimenting with the songs he heard.

The more emotionally mature child, he was happy to get together and doing activities with their peers. Given the tremendous interest in the 5-year playing a musical instrument, taking a course is a great choice for children to more closely associate with music. No need to see whether gifted or not, take music lessons to maximize opportunities to develop themselves musically.

Is ready to children 5 years of music courses? The main goal involving a toddler music class, to train more musical sensitivity. Children need to recognize the rhythm, the right tone, the introduction of color the sound, tempo, dynamics and track high-low tone. This kind of exercise is important for children to recognize colors, sounds, and a master tone.

Creativity is like a breeze: fleeting, invisible and difficult to catch. Some people allow themselves to relax and relax, let alone the creativity came to them. Some people even work hard to get creative. I will tell you how you can do something that is fun and easy to bring their own creativity to be desired ... .. ie by "listening to music".

First, allow me to give you a little background about myself. I have a profession as a computer programmer. I write computer code most of the programs on my work hours. Programmers have ranked in the same category as artists, musicians and poets in terms of creating a creative output. Programmers have to be creative to find ingenious solutions that resolve technical problems.

At work, I use earphones to listen to music while I work through the program code. I can listen to the type of music that is highly variable. I possessed new age, instrumental and pop. I also have a backdrop of music with vocals Japan, Spain and France. I also listen to music from video games and anime.

How do I get the creative work? By bringing my mind to the place that is "high" so I can "see" more of everything. Secret of genius and creative imagination comes from high frequency vibration in the mind ("The mystery of sex transmutation" in Think and Grow Rich). You can listen to music in order to increase the frequency of your mind, so you can get to a higher place where creativity will come with free and happens by itself.

Perhaps the explanation above is too philosophical. On the physical side, the music and wake me-energizing your mind and body. Have you mengetukan feet on the floor while listening to your favorite song? Music with a fast tempo gets your heart pumping every cell in your body to get creative!

If you are trying to obtain creativity just relax would be too passive. Trying hard to get creativity will not work properly. Listening to music allows you to actively mengapai creativity and in an easy way. Because creativity ... will come by itself.

So, what is the key to the selection of music? Highly variable. You need to have music with a fast tempo, slow, and music with a tempo that is. If you only have music with a fast tempo (eg, pop / rock), your mind will be closed due to fatigue. It would be very good for menyelinginya with a graceful flow of music such as waltzes, to give your mind a rest pause. This prevents your mind trapped in a void and will provide continuous stimulation. Thus, the function "shuffle" feature on the ipod is very excellent and useful.

It's as well if you listen to music that can evoke strong emotions. I have some songs that can lead to sadness, joy, tranquility, or a song that can touch the heart with amazing lyrics. I can sometimes shed a tear. I can also smile and laugh uncontrollably. I believe in having a wide range of human emotion side is the most rapid to cause creativity.

Another key to the selection of music is familiarity. You should be familiar with most of the songs so you can sing the song and still be able to work (such as writing code in my case). I have not memorized a lot of the lyrics but the songs may be familiar. It might even be better if you do not know the words, because words can cause more severe your mind, especially if you are trying to work.

My personal experience is usually after listening to about 2 or 3 songs, I get into the mood for action. After about 15 minutes, I get into what some people call "The Zone". It is a process where I quickly get an idea, can think of graphic design, produce algorithm and my fingers can work quickly over the keyboard typing program code. "The Zone" is where you find out everything. If you ever mengapai creativity, you'll know when you're in The Zone. Everything will flow naturally.

For the record, this does not always work. Sometimes, I do not have the mood to do anything. Sometimes listening to favorite songs and I just listen to it alone and mouth the words (secretly of course. Sometimes, I even do not want to listen to any music. It's ok. I take it as a sign to do other things, such as setting the table or go wash your face. I have never experienced something effective to force creativity.

Listening to a wide variety of music with different tempos (and music can evoke emotions), will help you to mengapai creativity. So start to listen to music to get their creativity to solve problems and work your life right now!
