WHAT IS MUSIC THEORY?
Music theory is the study of music, examining all of the components that are used in writing a piece of music. It is the foundation for anyone learning how to play piano, musician or singer. Theory deepens your ability to understand how music is put together. It is the compilation of methods and concepts musicians use in creating music. The four key elements are music notation (written music for playing piano or sung by a human voice), time signature, key signature and chord progressions.
Music theory enables us to understand the way music composition is put together. It’s a music language all its own. The understanding of music theory will improve your reading and writing of music.
The seven elements of music: Pitch (high or lowness of a note), Duration (how long the note lasts), Dynamics (how loud or soft a note is played or sung), Tempo (how fast or slow to play or sing a song), Timbre (different sound like a piano vs. a singer singing the same note), Texture (the layers of a song – all the instruments and vocal harmonies) and Structure (verse, verse, chorus, verse etc.).
JOKE FOR THE DAY:
It must be terrible for an opera singer to realize that he can never sing again.
REPLY: Yes, but It’s much more terrible if he doesn’t realize it.
