what is complicated is not to associate a name with a note but to associate the sound corresponding to this note (the frequency) as well as to associate the interval which exists between a note and another note. It is complicated to sing ascending or descending intervals of thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, sevenths ❤❤❤

Every Good Burrito Delivers Flavor. All Good Burgers Dont Fall Apart. Is good to know nemonics but you are correct it is much better to know landmark system. The reason is you will keep thinking of the nemomics every time you look at the stave. Knowing where the landmarks are will help your mind recognize faster what the non landmark notes are. This makes you site reading better.😊
@fhatsk8er9 ай бұрын
My takeaway is to learn just a few “absolute” notes and deduct “relative” notes from those landmark notes while learning to read music, with the end goal to eventually be familiar with all notes “absolutely”. Makes sense, I do this on guitar. No way I’ll memorize 144 fret positions on guitar, but the 25% I do have in muscle memory generally gets me the rest of the way there

Good video. But for your students... The G (Treble) Clef is not so much that it is on the 2nd line, but actually it shows WHICH line (or space) is the G above Middle C (it is usually on the 2nd line of the upper Stave, but not always). The G Clef can actually appear anywhere, even on the lower stave of the Grand Stave. The G clef is just a "stylized" 'G'. Similarly, the F (Bass) Clef shows where F below Middle C is located. It is a stylized F but instead of a crossed line that is in such a F, two dots are used because a line would be hard to tell which stave line or space it is centered upon. The F Clef can appear anywhere, even on the upper Stave, but it is usually on the 3rd line on the lower Stave. There is also a C Clef, which is used sometimes with horns.

Absolutely no one ever uses a treble or bass clef in any position other than standard. I guess it technically could happen but in 30 years, I’ve never seen it. The only traditionally moveable clef is the C Clef which is mostly commonly used as an Alto clef or Tenor clef… but C Clef is very rare for most instruments. I wouldn’t worry about ever learning or practicing G or F clef outside of the normal position.
@paulromsky95279 ай бұрын
@@DOGroove Go back to the masters like Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven and such, they often moved the G and F clefs around. This is because in piano music, the notes on the lower stave are usually played with the left hand and the notes on upper stave are played with the right hand. So, when the left hand is played in higher registers, the F Clef is moved to the upper stave. Then there is the Octave Clef - a G Clef with an 8 hanging off the tail. This denotes that the indicated G is one octave below middle C. There is is also a G Clef with an 8 at the top of the G Clef, which indicates the G is above Middle C - this way the right hand can play in an upper/lower register without a lot of ledger lines for the notes. Today 8va, 15va, 8vb, and 15vb are used but the Clefs still define where the Gs and Fs are located as a formality. Don't ask me why 15va and 15vb are used for 2 Octaves, one would think that it would be 16, but music is always developing (especially since the Renaissance). The masters defined a lot of what we use today in music notation. Every musician should have a dictionary of music. Harper's Dictionary of Music is out of print, I would recommend something more current since music has evolved a lot since Jazz hit the scene. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_symbols

@@DOGroove Also, if one limits onself to play music that is less than 30 years old, then one is missing out on tons of music. Not knowing all the notation could be embarrassing. I happened to be at Electric Lady studio when the musical genius "Prince" was there. After I shook his hand, he gave me a glimpse of some of his hand written music... there was Octave G Clef on one score. Now, the published music may have use 8vb, but it is easier just to put an 8 on the tail of the G Clef if the whole stave is an octave lower.

@@paulromsky9527 I didn’t mean music only created in the last 30 years, I meant in my 30 years as a musician. I have often seen octave clefs but I have never once encountered a piece of music that has had an F clef not in the standard position. And this is me reading upright bass, cello, trombone, and Tuba music. I have seen Tenor clefs used in cello music but I’ve never seen a piece written with a non-standard F clef.

Or play daily for 5+ years and you stop reading altogether, the note position and keyboard position are 1. Flats and sharps mostly are associated with the left right starting with the 3 black keys pattern, that is automatic. I can go up or down for special cases and repeated for something like a minor key I remember that after a few times. The rare 4 or 5 lines added above or below, there is a lot of guessing and mistakes initially.

I was also taught that people do not in itself have to ‘read’ music/note names, as long as they have been given ‘Doh’ they apparently can work out any note purely from the ‘Tonic-Solfa’ system. I once had two Basses in one of my Church Choirs and all they read was tonic-solfa, and once they new which note was doh by me giving a starting chord they could pretty well get a brand new anthem learnt within a couple of weeks, whereas the ‘note readers were taking 4 times as long, the only time I remember them going astray was if there was a key change part way through the anthem.

@MaggaraMarine9 ай бұрын
The letter name system is actually as old as solfege. Originally the two were used for slightly different purposes - note names were absolute, solfege was somewhat movable (but not entirely). For whatever reason, in some countries, do re mi replaced letters entirely, and in other countries, people essentially stopped using the solfege syllables, and only used letters. BTW, in countries that use the letter names, solfege still has its uses, but in that system, the syllables refer to scale degrees, not to absolute pitches (do is the 1st degree, re is the 2nd degree, mi is the 3rd degree). So, if you have a melody that goes "do re mi", it could be C D E if you are in C major, but it could also be E F# G# if you are in E major. Another option is to simply use scale degree numbers.

See it simpler: there is a single middle line between the two scores, on which the middle C is. Then other Cs are symmetrical around this line, and the F at the bottom is the symmetry of the G at the top. If your eye is trained to recognize C and G at the top, just imagine the score flipped upside down and you'll figure C and F at the bottom. If you do some piano, imagine a vertical piano keyboard on which you would type oriented to the left. The left-hand keys are at the bottom and the right-hand keys at the top. The middle C key is at the center, aligned with the middle C line. The right-hand keys then follow the G-clef and the left-hand keys follow the F-clef. Hoping this helps!

This is a good way to learn the names of the notes but it has nothing to do with actual playing. You don’t play by thinking “oh that’s a G” and then playing it. You match up the lines and spaces directly with the black and white pattern WITHOUT worrying about the note names.
