Learn 3NPS Smarter: Hungarian Minor Vs Harmonic Minor

Hi all! Today we'll take a look at a cousin of Harmonic Minor: The Hungarian Minor scale! ;) The difference is 1 note but the fun part of this scale is 2 leaps of 2 half-steps! Harmonic Minor has 1 such leap. By contrast, Natural Minor scale and Melodic Minor scale has 0 such leaps, so it's quite a different sensation for your fretting hand :)

Its characteristic interval is #4 which is a tritone. This raised 4th results in 2 consecutive half-steps which introduces natural chromaticism. The takeaway here is that if you like the dark sounding Harmonic Minor then you will appreciate this one as well! ;)

Soon I'll publish a variation with beginner-friendly note names as well. Keep an eye on the website for updates! :)

How to Choose the Right Music Schools

Are you anxious not that it is time for your child to start music school? Perhaps you are excited about the new development in the life of the child. It is also normal to have mixed feelings when your kid is ready to start music school. At the same time, it can be an incredibly stressful experience because of the critical decisions that you have to make. Finding the perfect music school for your child is crucial. You need a place that you can trust to provide a solid learning background for the child. Since the music school you will choose contributes to a critical aspect of the growth of the learner, it is essential to choose the best. Now you are probably wondering, what would it take for a music school to be perfect for the learner? Here are some insights on what to look for in music schools. Click here to enroll to Music School Granite Bay today.

Before you start looking for music schools, the first thing you should understand is what you want. What are your goals? what specific requirements do you want for the learner? Is it the first time the student is attending music school? Did you just relocate and now you need a new place to enroll the learner? The level of learning that the student is at will determine the kind of music school that will be ideal for their needs. Besides, you will need to know about the learning abilities of the music schooler for you to choose the right facilities that suit them. Different music schools use diverse learning programs and educational systems. It is imperative to know what you need for the learner to make informed decisions. If you are looking for an international education system, you will need a music school that specializes in that area. Similarly, if you are okay with the conventional learning systems, finding a music school that offers such opportunities will also be imperative.

In addition, the quality of education that the Music Academy offers will determine if you choose it or not. Every parent wants their child to grow in all aspects. A good music school is one that provides the students with a comprehensive learning system that will ensure they grow in different areas including academically, socially and physically. Thus, finding out about what each music school has to offer before you decide is imperative.

Music Theory For Beginners

Learning music theory is a great way to advance your playing, and it's not just for aspiring rock stars. Beginners can use the information they learn to compose, read music, and improvise. If you're looking for a practical way to master the guitar, music theory will provide you with the tools you need to be successful. This article will walk you through the basics of music theory. You'll be on your way to writing great music in no time! Find out more here about music theory for beginners on this page.

The basic four-chord progression consists of choosing the major or minor key and picking the four scale tones that go together to make a chord. Then, you match these notes to the chords. You can find chord progressions online, and the common ones are shown with Roman numerals. The capital letters indicate major chords, while the lower case ones are for minor chords. The diminished chord symbol is used to indicate a diminished chord.

A good music theory for beginners guide will cover the basics of rhythm, musical notes, and music intervals. Understanding these concepts is a prerequisite for creating melodies and harmonies. It also helps you understand the musical alphabet, and the relationship between notes. Each letter has a unique pitch and has its own rhythm. You can learn to play the piano with ease by following a basic music theory for beginners. This will make it possible to compose your own music. See page for the best basic theory for beginners near me.

Whether you're a beginner or an advanced student, learning the basics of music theory is a great way to improve your playing. The book is well-written and easy to understand. It even includes training CDs to train your ear to recognize music. For a fair price, this book is worth its weight in gold. The content is well-written, and there's no need to spend hours studying music theory books.

Key signatures are essential for recognizing the key of a piece of music. This information will help you identify accidentals. The key signature also helps you understand how to read a key signature. Learning key signatures will help you identify the correct keys to play in different songs. The key signature will also help you understand the circle of fifths. You'll be able to write more complex chord progressions. Once you master these, you'll be on your way to playing complex songs.

The notes on a piano are marked with a number called the "tongue" or "key." The tone of these pitches will be represented by lines connecting the notes. This is known as enharmonic equivalents and is important for learning how to play musical notes. Learning the major scales is an indication of mastery of music theory. So how do you learn all the notes in the major keys? The best way to learn all the notes in the major scale is by learning all of them.

In addition to learning music theory, you'll also learn how to write and read western music notation. You'll also learn how to recognize pitch and rhythms by ear. This course is open to students of all levels and is currently in adaptive mode. You can earn badges as you learn. And the best part is that it's completely free! You'll have the ability to make unlimited revisions! And that's an incredible benefit when you're learning how to play the guitar.

Did you know all notes of guitar frets?

Music Theory Blog by Sheenagh Shannon (MK)

My name is Sheenagh Shannon. I’m an 18-year-old singer/songwriter currently studying music performance. In this blog I’m going to break down the basic principles of music theory to hopefully help any readers gain a better understanding of the inner-workings of the music we love and listen to.

Scales  

I’d like to begin by explaining what scales are and how they work. The pictures I will be showing have music written on what is called a stave, and included on the stave is either a bass or treble clef (treble clef being higher, and bass clef being lower.) The notes in the treble clef start with E on the bottom line and ascend from there, whereas the notes in the bass clef start with B and ascend from there.

(Left is the bass clef, right is treble clef.)  

A scale is a group of notes that are arranged by ascending or descending order of pitch. In an ascending scale, each note is higher in pitch than the last one and in a descending scale, each note is lower in pitch than the last one. I will explore the two most common types of scales; major and minor.

You must have a note on every single line or space of the stave. One of the most common types of scale is the major scale. These scales are used in an endless variety of songs we listen to. Major scales are defined by the order of which semitones and tones occur. Semitones are whole steps and half steps, and their combination specifies how a scale should be interpreted. For example, the major scale is this:

Tone – Tone – Semitone – Tone – Tone – Tone – Semitone

Or in whole steps and half steps it would look like:  

Whole – Whole – Half – Whole – Whole – Whole – Half

This formula can be used to form a major scale starting on any note. Major keys are often correlated with positive emotions – a good example of how a major key can create an upbeat and joyous mood is a song called ‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s,’ by Deep Blue Something. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSgJ5On8Zso)

The second type of scale I’d like to explain is the minor scale. A minor scale, much like the major scale, also has seven notes but is defined by having a flattened third. This means that the third note on the scales is three semitones above the first note. With major scales, the third note of the scale is situated four semitones above. A seemingly small change, but it makes all the difference!

Tone – Semitone – Tone – Tone – Semitone – Tone – Tone

It’s important to note that there are three different types of minor scale: the natural minor, the harmonic minor, and the melodic minor. Each type of minor scale uses an ever so slightly different formula of semitones and tones, but they all share the minor third in common.  

Minor keys are more often associated with music that feels sad or melancholy, but they don’t necessarily have to abide by their assigned moods – minor keys can create intensity, passion, or with the right placement, even joy. Linked is a song called ‘Losing My Religion’ by R.E.M  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKvCV8MFIaw) a song that begins on the chord of A minor. I believe this is a good example of what a ‘minor’ song sounds like.  

Modes  

Next, I’d like to discuss modes. Modes are a series of seven musical scales each with definitive qualities and varying sounds. Their names are:

Ionian  

Dorian  

Phrygian  

Lydian  

Mixolydian

Aeolian

Locrian  

Each of these scales are a type of diatonic scale, which means they have seven notes and have two intervals that are semitones (half steps) and five intervals that are tones (whole steps.) The modes can also be split into two types, major and minor modes. The three major modes are Lydian, Ionian and Mixolydian and the four minor modes are Dorian, Aeolian, Phrygian and Locrian, although it is important to note that the Locrian mode is typically defined as a diminished scale. I’m going to give a couple of examples to show how modes work.

Ionian Mode

As shown above, the Ionian mode is exactly the same as the C major scale with no sharps or flats. It’s just another name for it!

Mixolydian Mode

The only difference between this mode and the Ionian mode is that it has a flattened 7th note as shown above. A song that uses this mode is a song called ‘Wicked Game’ by Chris Isaak (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aid2vMbCNP8) a song that I personally love and listen to quite often. The song is characterized by its haunting and sorrowfully conflicted tone, which exemplifies how modes can be used to create very specific moods or feelings.

Lydian Mode

The last mode I’m going to show you is called the Lydian mode. It’s the brightest sounding of the modes - quite like the Ionian mode, except it contains a raised fourth note. To play a Lydian scale we sharpen the fourth note of the scale. A song that uses this mode is a song called ‘Flying in a Blue Dream’ by Joe Satriani. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SINl5JY7LhI)

Chords  

Chords are the vertical arrangement of notes from a scale. Many people define chords as several notes played simultaneously. Let’s begin with examples of the most basic chord - the triad.

The triad is a class of chords, specifically three-note chords formed by this formula: 1-3-5 or root, third, fifth. There are four kinds:

The major is consonant; the minor is less consonant, but still largely so on most occasions. The augmented chord is very dissonant, and the diminished chord is incredibly dissonant because it contains a tritone (an augmented fourth, or on this occasion, diminished fifth.) This is the basic principle of how chords are formed and what they are. Most songs in existence are built upon a series of chords.

Triads are often extended with some form of the seventh to form a seventh chord. When a chord is called a seventh chord, usually the dominant seventh is meant, which is a major triad with a minor seventh.  Because all sevenths are dissonant intervals, any seventh chord is dissonant, because all sevenths are dissonant intervals. A seventh chord is far tenser than a major or minor chord. Jazz music, for example, is a genre that uses seventh chords quite consistently and often seems to treat them as consonant.  

Keys

In music, the key identifies the tonal centre of a song. This tonal centre is a note that the whole song revolves around, and each note in the song gravitates towards that home base note. If a song is in the key of C, then each note in the song gravitates towards a C. Below is a list of the 12 keys of music. Key of C Key of Db / C# (en-harmonic keys) Key of D Key of Eb Key of E Key of F Key of Gb / Key of F# (en-harmonic keys) Key of G Key of Ab Key of A Key of Bb Key of B / Key of Cb (en-harmonic keys)

Key signatures can provide an idea as to what key a song is written in. Key signatures appear directly after the clef signs and will tell you what sharps or flats will appear in a song. The number of sharps or flats in the key signature can give you a clue as to what key a song is in. For example, if a song has no sharps or flats in the key signature, the song may be in the key of C. If a song has one sharp in the key signature, it may be in the key of G. I’ve included a chart of key signatures to help explain this principle better.

Note Lengths  

Each note written on the stave has a duration as well as pitch. In music notation, a note value indicates the duration of the note. It is the design of the note that tells you its duration, in the same way as the position on the staff tells you the pitch.

This chart should indicate a clear and simple analysis of how note lengths work. For example, if a song is in 4/4, it would look something like this:

Time Signatures

In music, a time signature alerts you to the meter of the piece that you’re playing. The two numbers in the time signature tell you how many beats are in each measure of music. A piece with a time signature of 4/4 has four quarter note beats; each measure with a 3/4 meter has three quarter note beats; and each measure of 2/4 time has two quarter note beats. The most common time signatures you will come across are:

4/4 - Common time

3/4 - Waltz time

2/4 - March time

6/8 time

The most common meter in music is 4/4. In 4/4, the stacked numbers tell you that each measure contains four quarter note beats. So, to count 4/4 meter, if you tap the beat each time, you would be tapping the equivalent of one quarter note. ¾ is the second most common meter, and each measure has three quarter note beats. In 3/4 time, beat 1 of each measure is the downbeat, and beats 2 and 3 are the upbeats. It’s quite common amongst country music.

Once you start listening closely, you can hear the difference between time signatures. A famous song that uses 4/4 is a song called ‘Runaway Train’ by Soul Asylum (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzzKBxlIiEQ.) If you count the beats you can hear the difference between that song and a song like ‘Strawberry Wine’ by Deana Carter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdWV7PpeTVA) for example.

My Transcription

I’ve transcribed a verse and a chorus from a song called ‘Molly’s Lips,’ by Nirvana (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f76GsOBxUg0) 

I’ve chosen this song because it’s simple, to be perfectly honest! It gives a good, clear example of what a transcription looks like.

Here is yet another interesting article that doesn’t really have much context in regards to discussion in class or the readings from “Futuring” specifically, but it did throw out the window a previous misconception I had about the reaches of current trends in educational VR. Jam Studio (currently being showcased by one of the trustier news websites centering on VR technologies and content innovation) is primarily a music composition app for VR users, but the recent release of an education and healthcare edition poses interesting potential within music education, such as music theory in connection with actual musical practice, therapeutic musical exercises and wellness, etc.

Prior to doing my research for this course, I had made note of the skepticism widespread audiences had in regards to VR education--after all, it’s taken this long for VR to make it the mainstream, and it still hadn’t kicked off as a massive universal form of entertainment, so what sort of future would it have on education anyway? I had made the assumption that most VR experiences in the classroom would be relegated to STEM courses (the science and maths), and while I have seen some interesting VR apps and experiences in regards to social learning and history, this is the first actual VR app I’ve seen for Music Education. I would be especially interested to see the healthcare applications spoken of in this article , how they would play out in the app and how they would be used by counselors and health experts outside of the classroom experience as well.

3NPS Made Easy: Phrygian Dominant Vs Phrygian

Hi all!

Today we're comparing the 5th mode of Harmonic Minor: Phrygian Dominant which is loved so much by Yngwie Malmsteen! By now you should be able to see the "pattern" that everything builds gradually, especially if you compare things side-by-side! E.g. from Minor to Phrygian is 1 note change, and from Phrygian to Phrygian Dominant is also 1 note change.

Tomorrow I will publish a variation with beginner-friendly note names as well, so check my website later!
