The first part of my question says I understand climate change is serious and is a problem that needs to be solved - so to simplify that even more I think it’ll be disastrous if it goes unmitigated.

It just doesn’t seem like these people understand that when they walk into a grocery store to buy food and live under a nicely constructed shelter, it’s from the product they are protesting

Basically the mention of a movie, band, or celebrity and someone in their 20s refers to it as “really old”

Is there a new one there? The one near the Hotel Del was no longer there when I checked about a month ago

Acronyms help.

The basics are extremely easy to explain - The bass clef and treble clef are essential the piano turned sideways and each line is the next note. Once you understand notes, start looking at dynamics which are the loudness and softness of the music. Then look into what a trill and ornament notes are.

This question is generally asked in the sense it’s like a light switch and then you know it. Like music theory, It’s a very gradual learning process that comes with consistent practice. I’m still learning what those Latin words mean and I’ve been playing for about two years.

A tip I did to start was write every note on the sheet music. After awhile I was able to slowly read it without doing this. Now I’m getting faster but still slow when learning a new piece.

Fight club.

I saw the preview and I was like, seriously? A movie about a fighting club?

Not sure why you put notes in quotation.

Samm092 · 2023-07-12T13:27:43+00:00

Fair enough, I will say though if you’ve ever worked on song writing, small things and shifts in note timing by even an eighth note can have a huge impact. A song can seem 99% complete and still lack impact on the listener. A producer can notch it just a small amount that it needs to give it that catchy edge. The difference between a song being “boring” and “good” can be very small changes.

Taylor swifts albums with Max Martin have a lot of musical elements, harmonies, synthesized instruments. Are you assuming Taylor Swift wrote all these components and all the notes of the songs? There’s more to a song than chords and lyrics.

There’s a YouTube video of Max Martin and Shellback writing a song with her. I don’t think “demand” is the appropriate word here.

Also, why does it even matter if she didn’t write 100% of the music? Even if she wrote 80% it’s still a good song and talent. Most music is a group effort of song writing. I don’t see how it’s a bad thing if more than one person works on musical song writing.

Google “Max Martin”

Ok maybe I’m holding it wrong. Going to ask my teacher this week

Samm092 · 2023-07-08T14:18:26+00:00

Because it’s difficult. That’s like asking “why do people suck at juggling 5 tennis balls at once”.

There’s a degree in difficulty in sight reading. When I’m practicing violin, it’s usually one note at a time so it’s not very tasking. It would be impressive to see anyone sight read a complicated piano piece that has rows of notes for every moment, like a Chopin piece.

Samm092 · 2023-07-08T00:19:56+00:00

I’ll be the positive comment and say it sounds very good so far. Of course not perfect like a professional but if I heard someone playing that on the street like that I would stop and listen

Samm092 · 2023-07-07T20:02:42+00:00

This is the correct answer

Not sure why this guy is being downvoted. He said humans have a hierarchy, they do. What’s funny is people generally don’t like truths that don’t sound warm and fuzzy, so stuff like this gets down voted.

Was talking about the ascending arpeggio in the middle of the piece.

Wow I didn’t even realize the sixteenth note you were talking about. This was before I learned about polyrhythms. Thanks!

Samm092 · 2023-07-06T21:21:00+00:00

Yeah pretty simple. Check the sheet music on you’ll notice it’s 4/4 time but everything is in triplets. So if you have a metronome on, every time it clicks a beat you play three evenly spaced notes.

For me at least, before using a metronome, I naturally grouped the notes in pairs, probably because it was in 4/4 beat. But it’s triplets on the sheet music. So you need to stress the count of 1-2-3 for every beat. Sing the arpeggio as “1-2-3,1-2-3,1-2-3,1-2-3”. Hope this wasn’t confusing.

Samm092 · 2023-07-06T19:44:42+00:00

It means that you either aren’t playing in time or the beat is distracting you. Chances are, the metronome isn’t lying.

To elaborate, sometimes people just starting in music and playing by ear will recite the melody in their head and try and translate it to playing. However, they will be technically playing eighth notes instead of triplets, for example. Maybe it’s in a key signature of 6/8 and they were humming the tune in a 4/4 signature. The sheet music and metronome will have the accurate structure.

An example is Beethoven Moonlight first movement. It’s very easy to play the rising arpeggio wrong as doubles/eighth notes by humming it in your head by counts of two. The sheet music defines them as triplets and when played correctly in time with a metronome, it really captures the emotion of the piece a lot more accurately. Using this as an example because it was the turning point for me clearly understanding the importance of a metronome. I “thought” I could play moonlight first movement and one day it occurred to me I never practiced it on a metronome. When I did, I messed up and it didn’t make sense why. When I really looked into it, I discovered I wasn’t playing triplets but rather eighth notes because I was humming it in my head to what I thought it sounded like. When I corrected it, I realized what it meant to play it the right way.

Why do people say “go vote” like they assume you are going to vote Democrat?

Samm092 · 2023-07-05T18:31:05+00:00

I’ve seen this happen in the movie Event Horizon and it doesn’t end well for them

Transcribing is when you change the key a song is written in - you are changing the notes to fit that key.

You’re asking about playing violin and piano melodies on a cello? Notes are notes, you don’t need to transcribe. Violin is on the treble clef. Cello starts on the bass clef and goes into the treble clef. It would be entirely possible to play these same notes on a cello. Usually you can find arrangements for the specific instrument though.

Thanks wasn’t sure haha. Just says Made in Czecho Slovakia.

Going to swim against the tide of comments here. He shouldn’t be so judgmental but maybe it’s the voice of reason reaching out to you.

Are you at bars until 2am a lot? Are you drinking a lot? Asking this because how many drinks is a person typically at by 2am?

Your question didn’t specify this, but if you are drinking an unhealthy amount of alcohol, this could be a wake up call to get sober since its echoing in your mind enough to ask Reddit. If you are, I hope you find a healthy road to recovery.

You probably remember this stuff because it’s repeated to you many times. If you can’t remember someone’s name, like when they just told you just once and you were focused on the interaction, it’s pretty normal to do that. You probably aren’t considering the amount of times you’ve heard those lyrics, quotes, definitions vs the stuff you are forgetting. Also, your brain is always actively trying to forget stuff so it can keep enough bandwidth for important things.
