Come on, I'll teach you after school-how to read music?

"I want to learn to sing, but I can't read music."

"I really want to learn musical instruments, but I can't read music."

It doesn't matter. Come and wait for me at the school gate after school. I will teach you how to read music and teach you other things. What are you thinking about? I mean a simple version of the basic knowledge of music theory except reading music scores.

Whether you learn to sing or learn musical instruments, you must be able to read music. According to the basic classification, we can divide music into music score (musical instrument performance score) and music score (singing performance score). But usually there is an instrument performance spectrum in the singing performance spectrum, which is aimed at singing performance. In this way, it can be consistent with the accompaniment playing melody for its instrument in rhythm and rhythm, and know what the other party will perform next and what kind of cooperation will be made.

Because there are genres and styles in the music system besides the East and the West, poetry is far more complicated and simple, which systematically tells you the basic music score-simple notation. Let everyone know how to read music quickly in the future, how to sing a song, and how to record music when creating (basic part).

Simple notation refers to simple notation, number notation and letter notation. The above picture is a commonly used digital notation. The numerical notation is based on the names of the volumes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, which represent the seven basic levels in the scale, and the pronunciations are: do, re, mi, fa, sol, la and si, that is, duo, lai, mi, fa, suo, la and xi. Phonetic names are: c, d, e, f, g, a, b.

As can be seen from the above picture, the rhythm of Little Red Riding Hood is very simple, and the note is 123456. So how do you sing the music on it?

In the above figure, we have converted the number in the number symbol into the volume name. Why do you feel strange when you watch it? Because our rhythm and pitch are not accurate.

Before we talk about rhythm and pitch, let's talk about notes.

I. Notes

A song title can not be said to be a song alone, but must be combined with other songs regularly to form different or the same melody, in order to be called music. In the process of melody creation, the market value of sound can be extended or shortened. Here is a basic musical term-beat, which is an important concept to express the length of notes.

Our common notes are: full note (four beats), half note (two beats), quarter note (one beat), eighth note (half beat) and sixteenth note (quarter beat). Examples are as follows:

Among all our notes, the most important one is the quarter note, whose duration is one beat. It is a relative concept of time, and there is no fixed number. Some music works are minuets, maybe this beat is very short, and some are lyric songs, so this beat will be longer than dance music.

Yes, notes represent the length of sound. The longer the beat, the longer the duration of the same song. The shorter the beat, the shorter the duration. According to the length of the notes, the song Little Red Riding Hood uses only two notes: quarter note (one beat) and eighth note (half beat). In order to better understand, Shi Yuan made an anatomical map:

There are two new symbols in the picture:

1 Legacy line: It is a legacy line connected between two or more notes with the same pitch, which is used to prolong this sound.

2. Time-reducing line: add a time-reducing line under the note, which means that the duration of the note is reduced by half. If one more line is added, it means that the duration of the subtracted note is reduced by half. As shown above: the quarter note is a beat, and the time line below the quarter note is an eighth note and a half beat. Add a delay line under the eighth note, which is the sixteenth note, which is a quarter beat.

Ⅱ. Rhythm

To master reading music, we must first master the rhythm, and practice mastering the rhythm to get an accurate beat. The method of clapping is: half clap, half clap and the next clap.

* Please take out your right hand and gently swing your arm. First down and then up is a beat. You can only go down first and then up, and the fluctuation range is fixed (this action is a bit like a lucky cat). Point 1: relax your arms. Point 2: According to the emotional requirements of the song, go down or up slowly or quickly.

Combined with the notation of Little Red Riding Hood, the melody can be sung like this:

Ⅲ pitch

Originally 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 means different pitches. If we have a piano keyboard, we can directly understand their pitch differences. In primary school, our music teacher drew us a picture like this to show the pitch difference of these seven notes:

In addition to our usual 1234567, treble and bass also have 1234567, and their relationship is as follows:

* The point written under the basic note of notation is called the bass point, which means that the basic note is lowered by a sound group, that is, by a pure octave.

* The point written on the basic score is called the treble point, which means that the basic score rises by one tone group, that is, a pure octave.

ⅳ beat

Beat is generally a fixed speed (according to the requirements of singing songs) and strength:

Five breaks

Music (melody) not only has a fixed duration when singing, but also has the level of sound and the pause of sound. The symbol indicating the sound pause is called a rest, recorded with "0", and generally read as "empty" when reading the spectrum. Rest has no sound, so there is no distinction between high and low, but sometimes it is valuable.

Stop-stop four beats, stop-stop two beats at two o'clock, stop-stop one beat at four o'clock, stop-stop half a beat at eight o'clock and stop-stop a quarter beat at sixteen o'clock.

Not in this musical work Little Red Riding Hood, but it often appears in other musical works:

ⅵ dot note

In the musical work red river valley in the above picture, there is an extra dot behind the notes. It's called a dot note. A dotted note means increasing the duration of the previous note by half, for example:

Precautions:

1. This is the first half of music theory knowledge in notation, and it is just the tip of the iceberg. Interested students can buy the book Li Zhongguang's Basic Music Theory to study and study.

2. Reading music is for better singing. Before the lyrics, sing melodies and notes, rhythm is the most basic foundation. Be sure to sing the melody three or five times before you sing the lyrics. We used to have a music class. The teacher listened to my music first, then talked about music theory, then sang the melody over and over again, and finally added words to sing. )

3. Students who really like music or singing can buy an electronic organ to learn to sing and play, and students who have the conditions can apply for professional training courses. If you are in college, you can find your classmates in the Conservatory of Music with your roommates, friends, or people from the association and teach you how to learn to sing and how to play. On the one hand, there are people to accompany you on the way to study, on the other hand, you can share part of the cost of study.

4. Finally, emphasize that when reading the music, you must take your hands out to beat the rhythm! ! !

Extended learning:

Rhythm, beat and note duration,

Envy other people's high notes, but you can only pull your voice.
