  • Introduction to Music Theory
    Introduction to Music Theory This pdf is a good starting point for those who are unfamiliar with some of the key ​ concepts of music theory. Reading musical notation Musical notation (also called a score) is a visual representation of the pitched notes ​ ​ heard in a piece of music represented by dots over a set of horizontal staves. In the top ​ ​ example the symbol to the left of the notes is called a treble clef and in the bottom ​ ​ example is called a bass clef. ​ ​ People often like to use a mnemonic to help remember the order of notes on each clef, ​ ​ here is an example. ​ Intervals An interval is the difference in pitch between two notes as defined by the distance ​ ​ ​ between the two notes. The easiest way to visualise this distance is by thinking of the notes on a piano keyboard. For example, on a C major scale, the interval from C to E is ​ ​ a 3rd and the interval from C to G is a 5th. Click here for some more interval examples. ​ ​ It is also common for an increase by one interval to be called a half­step, or ​ ​ ​ ​ semi­tone, and an increase by two intervals to be called a whole step, or tone. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Joe Rees­Jones, University of York, Department of Electronics 19/08/2016 Major and minor scales A scale is a set of notes from which melodies and harmonies are constructed. There are two main subgroups of scales: Major and minor. The type of scale is dependant on the ​ ​ ​ ​ intervals between the notes: Major scale ­ Tone, Tone, Semi­tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Semi­tone ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Minor scale ­ Tone, Semi­tone, Tone, Tone, Semi­tone, Tone, Tone ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For example (by visualising a keyboard) the notes in C Major are: CDEFGAB, and C Minor are: CDE♭FGA♭B♭.

  • Sound Studies: New Technologies and Music
    Sound Studies: New Technologies and Music Trevor Pinch and Karin Bijsterveld Developments in sound technologies over the last 50 years have dramat- ically changed the way that music is produced and consumed. In the 19th century most music was experienced as live performance. Today most music is listened to individually through technologically mediated devices, such as a personal stereo or a personal computer that enables the down- loading of MP3 files over the Internet, and in the past few decades music has been produced with new electronic instruments such as the Theremin, the Hammond Organ, the electric guitar, the synthesizer, and the digital sampler. Technologies such as the phonograph, tape-recorder, and com- pact disk have enabled ‘sound’ to be produced, controlled, and manipu- lated independently from musicians. In today’s recording studios the sound engineers can be as important in the production of ‘the sound’ as are the musicians themselves. But how can such changes be understood and what do they mean for listeners and for science and technology studies (S&TS)? The papers in this special issue address such issues. The papers were first presented at an international workshop, ‘Sound Matters: New Tech- nology in Music’, held at the University of Maastricht, the Netherlands, in November 2002. The scholars at the workshop were drawn from such diverse fields as ethnomusicology, history, anthropology, cultural studies, sociology, and S&TS. All were working on some aspect of what we might call ‘auditory culture’. For such scholars, sound matters. The topic of the workshop was new technologies and music. The papers covered a range of technological innovations in the way in which music was produced and consumed.

  • How to Effectively Listen and Enjoy a Classical Music Concert
    HOW TO EFFECTIVELY LISTEN AND ENJOY A CLASSICAL MUSIC CONCERT 1. INTRODUCTION Hearing live music is one of the most pleasurable experiences available to human beings. The music sounds great, it feels great, and you get to watch the musicians as they create it. No matter what kind of music you love, try listening to it live. This guide focuses on classical music, a tradition that originated before recordings, radio, and the Internet, back when all music was live music. In those days live human beings performed for other live human beings, with everybody together in the same room. When heard in this way, classical music can have a special excitement. Hearing classical music in a concert can leave you feeling refreshed and energized. It can be fun. It can be romantic. It can be spiritual. It can also scare you to death. Classical music concerts can seem like snobby affairs full of foreign terminology and peculiar behavior. It can be hard to understand what’s going on. It can be hard to know how to act. Not to worry. Concerts are no weirder than any other pastime, and the rules of behavior are much simpler and easier to understand than, say, the stock market, football, or system software upgrades. If you haven’t been to a live concert before, or if you’ve been baffled by concerts, this guide will explain the rigmarole so you can relax and enjoy the music. 2. THE LISTENER'S JOB DESCRIPTION Classical music concerts can seem intimidating. It seems like you have to know a lot.

  • How Understanding Arrangement Techniques Can Improve Your Songs Mike Levine on Jul 04, 2017 in Music Theory & Education 1 Comments
    Arranging for Success - How Understanding Arrangement Techniques Can I : Ask.Au... Page 1 of 6 Arranging for Success - How Understanding Arrangement Techniques Can Improve Your Songs Mike Levine on Jul 04, 2017 in Music Theory & Education 1 comments Understanding some key universal concepts around arrangement, dynamics and composition can help you take your tracks to the next level. Here's how. Whether you’re in the studio or on stage, just having a strong song and performing it well is not enough. You also need a smart arrangement in order for your song to have its maximum impact. Giving your arrangement a dramatic arc helps make it more interesting and accessible to listeners. It's beyond the scope of this article to focus on specific instruments and how to arrange them for particular musical genres—that would require a series of books—but the aim here is to cover some global arranging concepts, which will apply no matter what the specific style or instrumentation. Contrast is King Just like a painting, a song arrangement needs contrast. If everything is too similar, it will be boring and the listeners will tune out. You want to keep their attention, so you should structure the song so that it’s not static. Think of it almost like a book or play, which has a beginning a middle and an end. You have a number of tools at your disposal for creating drama and interest with your arrangement, which include varying the dynamics, adding to the instrumentation as you go, and building the complexity of the instrument and vocal parts as the song progresses.

  • Musical Instruments for the Music Unit
    Chapter XI Instruments and Equipment Nicholas DeCarbo, Associate Dean Frost School of Music, University of Miami It goes without saying that music units need considerable equipment such as acoustical shells, staging, risers, chairs, music stands, podiums, instrument storage cabinets, laboratory workstations, music library systems, audio systems, and quality instruments. All music programs also need equipment devoted to technology, including hardware, software, and furniture. Because of advances in technology, music units use an array of electronic keyboard instruments for piano labs, classrooms, recording studios, music technology centers, and faculty studio/offices. Of course, music units also continue to need traditional acoustic instruments, such as concert grand pianos, upright pianos, harps, contra clarinets, English horns, contrabassoons, a full complement of percussion instruments, and sousaphones for the marching band. According to the Higher Education Arts Data Survey (HEADS), 474 public and private accredited and nonaccredited music units in the United States reported spending an average of $53,440 on equipment, $16,336 on leases and rentals, and $9,861 on repair during 2004–5. During that same period, 358 music units reported spending an average of $17,051 on technology. This chapter discusses the planning process needed for the purchase and/or lease of equipment, instruments, and technology-related items, along with guidelines for maintaining inventories. Planning for Equipment and Instrument Purchases Due to the lack of competition, the cost of equipment for performance venues, rehearsal spaces, and faculty studios is high compared to equipment purchases in many other areas of the university, excepting the sciences. Moreover, the music executive is often in the position of having to convince the higher administration that the needs are valid.
