Learn Music


You Can Learn Music

Perhaps you’ve gone to a concert and fantasized about being able to ‘shred’ on a guitar, like the lead guitarist you were listening to. Or maybe you were listening to some artist on the piano and you wished that you could play the piano like that.

What usually holds the average person back is what I call the ‘myths’ that abound in and around music.

They mostly exist around learning music, since anyone who has succeeded in mastering an instrument has learned the falsehood of these myths.

One of the most prevalent myths is that you need to have ‘talent’ to play an instrument and, if you don’t, well, just forget about it.

The other very prevalent myth is that you need great sacrifice and must spend years and many hours a day to learn an instrument.

The third thing that really messes people up is tying into some really bad teaching ideas.

What do I mean by this?

Well, learning an instrument is really no different than learning any other sort of skill. I like to compare it to learning to golf. There is a correct technique to everything and having the correct technique and applying it cuts down the learning time considerably and ensures success. A good golf pro will teach you which end of the club to hold, how to stand and all the other details that are standard and proven to work.

It’s the same with music. There are certain basics that need to be followed for a swift and easier mastery of an instrument. The problem is that some of these basic things get left out or one gets emphasised all out of proportion (theory,) and the person gets frustrated and eventually gives up, thinking it’s their own fault or they just don’t have the talent it takes.

In the first part of my book; The Book Of Music Basics, I debunk all these myths and misinformation that surround learning music so that you can think straight about the subject.

The second part of the book gives you all the basics in the correct order and in the right amount so that you can learn music successfully. Get The Book Of Music Basics here and learn music.

Consonance And Dissonance In Music

Consonance And Dissonance In Music This article is useful in the practice of improvisation. It will explain why certain scales can be used to good effect in improvising and also why a certain amount of chord theory is handy. If you don’t understand what the term interval means, you should first go and read over the following post; Intervals And Their Qualities .  Major and perfect intervals in a C major scale So, having established what an ‘interval’ is, we can move on to the concept of consonance and dissonance. It’s a rather simple concept that states that certain intervals harmonize or are pleasing to the ear and certain intervals clash or are unpleasant to the ear. Naturally this is a bit subjective and changes somewhat from era to era, but we can establish a basic overall accepted norm and work from there. The intervals, which harmonize and are known as consonant, are specifically the thirds and sixths, regardless of their quality (major or minor.) Fourths and ...
