Cadences

🎹🏛️🎶Cadences. We need to know the purpose of each sound. Sometimes we can give attention to sounds that aren’t ready to be shown to our audience. In this example how can create a cadence without reusing any Roman numerals. Comment your thoughts below.

Enharmonic Tendency

😀 Enharmonic Tendency. How sharps and flats relate can give clarity or confusion, it is all how we present the information. This a subject that shouldn’t be covered until far into music studies. It’s a color or a function. Comment your thoughts below. #classicalmusicedu #classicalmusiceducation #stafftheory #rhythmicrelationships

Tendency Tones

🎹🎶😀Tendency Tones. Make sure we are building the correct sounds allow use to get closer to a composers true intention behind a piece. If we are guiding the sound in the wrong direction we get a washed color or a flat sound. Neither of those are good. #classicalmusicedu #classicalmusiceducation #stafftheory #rhythmicrelationships

Parents and Progress

🧑👩Parents and Progress. Always be present, to encourage and know when to let go. If you are going to use other resources that are not recommended by a teacher then why keep coming to lessons? #classicalmusicedu #classicalmusiceducation #stafftheory #rhythmicrelationships

Rhythmic Relationships

🥁🪘🎶Rhythmic Relationships. Times is absolute on the page but is felt in relativity. Knowing how to measure each bar line will keep our rhythmic pulse.

Romans

🏛️🏺Romans tell the story and the tonal center says the tone. If we change a Roman we change the story. Change the center then the tone changes.
