The music Theory & the Harmony: The Key A the Comprehension How Music Works!
It is a sad fact that most of the people, including the piano players, consider the theory of music and the harmony as some concept abstracts that has very small to do with the songs that they play on their pianos. Nothing could be more truth. For knowledge the theory of music and the harmony is the key to open a new entire world of fascinating insights in the songs that we play, and we to return able to do the things on the piano never dreamed ourselves could be done, say nothing to appreciate the process hundred times more.
Which is the music theory, and how I can take advantage?
Here just little of competences and wonderful insights that a person takes advantage of while learning the music theory:
How the notation works -- a huge advantage in securing view.
The rhythm hierarchy -- redsolvant the problems of rhythm before they begin.
All the types of ladders -- the "the grade ladders" every song is composed from. The major ladders, 3 types of ladders minors, the chromatic ladders, the ladders of your entire, the modal ladders.
How the works of transposition and modulation -- playing the songs in the different keys, and obtaining from one key to another easily.
The complex signatures of time, and that they say you.
Perfect, major & the intervals minors -- helps the training of strong ear.
Harmony of two party and four party.
The low one calculated as IV, V7, ii6, I6/4, etc. and how it relates to the rope symbols as Fm7, F6, Dmaj7, etc.
Harmonize the melodies with all these ropes.
Open & express close, the inversions, the secondary ropes, form, the rhythms, the non harmonic tones, arranging for voices, arranging for the copper, arranging for the strings, transposing instruments, relations keys and a lot of other fascinating insights in the internal functionings of music!
But which is the harmony?
The harmony is one under together of theory of music. This is a grade collection in the combination, played simultaneously. Ecouter your favorite songs, and lend an attention all special one to the vocal support when they are sung with the advance. Can you hear how the two vocal melodies differ in the height? That is the harmony, and it is extremely possible that these reinforcement singers were chosen because of their strong capacity to harmonize.
Sing a harmony, or choosing the one rather out alone without the music of written leaf, is a musical almost inherent competence that a lot of singers would die to possess. But the harmony is not just the province of singers; it is found in every only sector of music. Do not import when a sound is disposed in put to bed on another his and these sounds equals themselves in the rhythm and the melody (but the height), a harmony is created.
The harmony is done intervals, and as such, it can be considered jarring (raache, uncomfortable, as to play an E and a F at the same time) or in agreement (pleasing or smooths). What does a harmony that pleases or nevertheless is extremely relative unpleasing. In the medieval times, only octaves and perfects fifth was considered harmonious, and any harmony that deviated of that generally was gathered on. In the music of the modern west, nevertheless, almost all is considered to be harmonious by someone. Fifth always is very popular in the modern harmony but now are used in the most not most very probable one of places; the heavy metallic music, for example, frequently the usages perfect fifth in the vocal harmony to create a strange when willing effect in put to bed on the MORE JARRING instrumentation.
The harmony, what's more being in agreement or jarring, also can be the subordinate one or the coordinated. The harmony of subordinate, the tonal harmony used the most frequently, is today a collection of harmonies that are based on each other. The harmony moves itself in such a manner that a resolution is a not very predictable one; you can hear this harmony type in the modern pop music, the musical comedy separates this flow very easily in each other and does not leave the listener confused as for the bend that the song took. On the other hand, the harmony of coordinate is a harmony collection that works in an independent way of each other. They have common relation, of course, but not typically to move itself towards an objective, or a predictable resolution. The renaissance musicians used often this type of harmony, and this is able of rich textures in to produce and in movement in a music piece.
The theory of music of erudition and the harmony not are just an option can take you or can leave: this is half and the package of the "the music things". No never said surgeon "I do not want all learners these things of the nervous system & the system and the skeletal sanguine vessels and how the works of lungs and heart and all these things -- I want to work just".
And nevertheless the majority of players of piano neglects the thing same that would take them to the next level in their to play and the knowledge -- the music theory & the harmony.
