Help
I'm using the trial thingy, and I am a definite begginer with piano. how do I write music if most of the keys used are black? I don't know how. I can write sheet music if it only consists of white keys, but on the midi notate I don't know how to write sheet music when a bunch of the notes are black. Also, I know nothing about how to read sheet music if the notes are black

Hello,
The black keys are t
Hello,
The black keys are the sharps (notated with a #) or flats (notated with a symbol that looks like a "b") that come between some of the letter notes. For instance, the black key above C is the half-step between C and D, and is notated as C# or Db, depending on the key signature of the music. Actually, if you're using Composer, you can write the sheet music as if it were all on the white keys (key of C), then transpose the pitches to another key (with sharps/flats, "the black keys") for another musician. For some good info and exercises, you can try out http://www.teoria.com/index.html I'm sure there are other folks here who can explain things much more thoroughly and expertly than myself, as I am mostly a bass and guitar hack ;) ttfn, Sherry |

my problem is different !
Hello, I was reading your post/ thread ? by chance and I 've had a look at the site teoria : quite good !
Actually, my present problem is to match the French specific music teminology with th English one. Phewww , it's like learning music twice, but fortunately, in this site everything is classified by topic so I gues I will have to copy/ paste the words I don't know in English.

Howdy Christian,

I'm looking forward to seeing your work! My daughter is currently learning French, and she loves music as well, so this may be a good way for her to combine two of her interests. ttfn, Sherry

Re: Help
p.s. Christian, you may want to start a new thread with a more descriptive title that relates to "French and English music terminology" or something. This thread is titled "Help" which is not very helpful as a description

Re: Help
Hi, all:
Related to French/English musical translation, my wife, a teacher, is facing some difficulties right now in teaching solfeggio music to students in our newly integrated French/English classes. The basic problem has been the difficulty faced with the fact that the French system has a non-moveable "doh" (the note, not the Homer Simpson exclamation), ie., "doh" is always the note C, whereas "doh" in English vocal music moves with the key. Makes for some difficulties with nomenclature. David |

Sherry dissed herself with: I am mostly a bass and guitar hack I thought the definition of a band was four musicians and a drummer, not four musicians and a bassist! David |

Howdy David,
Well, after do
Howdy David,
Well, after doing some fairly serious (for me) study of bass methods, and how they work with the drums, I have come to have a very high regard for good drummers. What they do (when done well) is nothing short of amazing. (I also have a great respect for good ones, because I've played with a couple who were fairly awful, and it was a very painful experience.) Of course that's not going to stop me from telling drummer jokes - I am a bass player after all ;) ttfn, Sherry Q: How many bass players does it take to change a light bulb? A: None - the keyboard player can do it with his left hand. (now I won't feel so bad when I tell the next drummer joke ;) ) |
