Music Theory

The frequency of a sound wave affects the pitch of a sound. A higher frequency sound wave produces a higher pitch sound.

On a piano, the pitch A4 (A above "middle C") will produce a soundwave with a frequency of 440 Hz. The pitch A3 (A an octave below A4) will have a frequency of 220 Hz. The frequency of A5 (A an octave above A4) is 880Hz.

"Midde C," or C4, has a frequency of approximately 262 Hz.

D sharp and E flat

I am not exactly sure when, but a man couldn't get the monks to remember the notes to their songs and hymns, so he replaced the A, B, C notes with Do, Re, Mi. Henceforth, making it much easier to learn.

Well, first off, there's the key signature. That's the sharps or flats at the *beginning* of the line of music. They dictate notes which should be sharp or flat *all the time*. So for instance, if the song is in the key of G, there will be a sharp sign at the beginningf every line of music, on the top line of the staff (assuming treble (G) clef), to indicate that F's are sharp. Always. So every time you see an F anywhere on the staff, it should be played as an F#, even though it won't be written as an F#; it will be just written as a normal F, and you're supposed to know from the key signature that it really means F#. In addition to the sharp or flat symbols, there's also the natural symbol. This means "*don't* play the note sharp or flat*. For instance, let's say there's a song in G, which has the key signature I just described, indicating F's are always sharp. But suppose that in one instance, it really wants a normal F, an F natural-- not an F#. The way that that gets indicated is by putting an explicit natural sign next to the note (instead of a sharp or flat). The natural sign looks like a square version of a combination lower-case b and lower-case q; that is, a little square box with a tail coming off down the right side, and another sticking up on the left side. Finally, there are the rarely seen *double* sharp and *double* flat. These indicate that a note that's *already* sharp should be made *even sharper*. For instance, again, in my key-of-G example, I could indicate an F-double-sharp, which would mean take your F# and raise it *another* half step. The resulting note would be identical to a G, of course, which is why it is seldom seen. You'd typically only ever see it in a rare key such as G#. If you were in the key of G#, then *every* note would be sharp, except for F's, which would need to be *double* sharped. You'd want to call that note F-double-sharp, rather than G, because you've already got G#; music theory dictates that you don't want your scale to have two kinds of G but no F's of any kind. That is, if you don't call it F-double-sharp, your scale would be: G# A# B# C# D# E# G G#. Two flavours of G, no flavours of F. We'd rather have one of every letter. So we name the notes G# A# B# C# D# E# Fx G#. A double sharp looks like a little X. A double flat simply looks like two flats right next to each other. Why they couldn't have just used two sharps next to each other for double-sharp is a mystery I can't answer.

A treble clef is used on the treble staff, which in piano music is on the top. The memory charm for the spaces is, starting at the bottom and going up, F-A-C-E. The charm for the lines is, Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge. There are many different ones for the lines.

Depends. If you're thinking human relations, music serves as one of the few things that all civilizations share. Music can also have therapudic benefits. There are college degrees devoted to music therapy. It can also make people smile :)

This interval is an example of a tone (as opposed to a semitone).

That's a C major or C Ionian scale or D Dorian E Phrygian F Lydian G Mixolydian A Aeolian B Locian etc...

Music as it pertains to life is quite simple. It is only a way to express yourself and in some cases a way to learn how to express yourself.

The way I look at this, music can be used in many different ways. Our ear is directed to it; it likes the sound. Some music can be hurtful to man kind diffrent ears and diffrent kinds of sounds. That's why some like rock , some like classical, and so on..

The notes are

F-G-Ab-Bb-C-Db-E-F

It is quite easy to form a harmonic minor scale.

Begin with the Tonic Major (in this case, F major). F-G-A-Bb-C-D-E-F

Flatten the 3rd and the 6th notes by one semitone In this case A becomes Ab and D becomes Db.

The descending notes in the harmonic scale are the same as the ascending notes (but obviously in reverse!) so F-E-Db-C-Bb-Ab-G-F

e flat

Do do do re mi

Mi re mi fa sol

Do do do sol sol sol

Mi mi mi do do do

Sol fa mi re do

The other designation for the bass clef is the 'F' clef.

Using the term performing forces usually refers to singers and vocal powers of a piece. In this case, the performing voices are usually the standard: SATB or Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass. If one is speaking very generally, however, this term can be loosely applied to any instrument partaking in the performance of said piece which may have strings, brass, keyboard, timpani and more.

Yeah, you forgot to list the examples.

I clicked ahead but it was A. It def wasn’t D. None of the above!

Make a Mental Note. Cute, right?

A phrase, measure, bar, riff

your second finger on the top E string in the 3rd fret. your pointer on the A string in the 2nd fret and your 3rd finger on the B string in the 3rd fret and your pinky on the bottom E string in the 3rd fret.

Line notes or notes that you see on the staff lines where the line goes right through the note. Any other note can precede or follow a line note, for instance a quarter or half note.
