pokemonrulz Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Beat boxing is still a part of music... I wonder how you choral/acapella peeps can read the scores and sing along to it. I have to rely on hearing a sample or others and singing out a scale to determine how the note sounds like... Yaa! WHY IS THAT AH??? I always wondered.. Mozart posers... Grr.. :yuk: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orionmiz Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Yaa! WHY IS THAT AH??? I always wondered.. Mozart posers... Grr.. :yuk:Aiyah, some people started training solfège since young, and they are train to sing "fixed do" solfège.That is to say if the note 'A' (right above middle 'C') is at the frequency of 440Hz, they are train to sing that 'A' note at approximately 440Hz.With enough training, the brain will register this, and next time when they hear a music note with the sound frequency of 440Hz, they will know that it is an 'A' note.

crazyfreak Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I would agree with orionmiz here that through constant practice and playing the identification of notes is possible like how some people can tune a guitar without a tuner...but if u r talking abt people born with that gift I had a teacher who could identify a note when the car screeches or when the bus horns...and that is freaky...but I guess as a musician or like for myself when mixing for shows it is important to identify instrumentation and general sound over specific notes since synergy and cohesiveness are key in any musical group Quote we all wear masks to protect and deceive how many masks do you have with you today?

orionmiz Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Unfortunately there are some bad sides about able to identifying notes through the frequency (so-called perfect pitch). The person may have problems learning/playing transposing instruments (e.g. Clarinet in B-flat, Saxophone (E-flat/B-flat), certain brass instruments etc.).So, if you ask me to learn how to play clarinet or saxophone, I don't think I'll be able to master it...

crazyfreak Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Yea how the sound blends as in generally as musicians we will easily spot or sound out (forgive the pun) any stray note being played or miss beat that is played and then go rectify the problem and well when we play together. We all noe when we have to crescendo or decrescendo. Or any other alteration without a score so I guess it is all part and parcel of our journey in music and musicianship Quote we all wear masks to protect and deceive how many masks do you have with you today?

orionmiz Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Ok, this part a bit cheem...I don't understand how it's a problem? o.OWell you see, let say for example Clarinet in B-flat. If you play a 'C' note on the clarinet, it will sound as a 'B-flat'. Hence it is called a transposing instruments (because the sounding pitch is different from the playing/written pitch).However, if the person have perfect pitch, the 'C' note will have been fixed to a specific pitch/frequency (or maybe approximately there) to that person (which is about 262 Hz for middle 'C'). Hence, it can be confusing for that person if he/she play the note as 'C' but the sound comes out as 'B-flat'.If you have played the transposing instruments with piano/orchestra, you would have noted that the written key for the piano part or other instrument parts is different from the transposing instruments. Let say for example, the piece is in C major. The piano part would be written in C major, but the clarinet in B-flat would be written in D major so that it will sound as a C major when played.Ok lah, this post is a bit lengthy, so see if you'll can digest it.

frederickgam Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 If there's a classical ensemble, I don't mind joining in. I also don't mind a 2-instruments duet (e.g. violin/viola/cello/bass/flute/clarinet/oboe/bassoon/brass/etc. + piano accompanist) or a trio (e.g. violin + flute + piano).Come to think of it, any pianist here doing piano accompaniment?I used to play the cello. But have stopped because of my heavy schedule. Now it's sitting idly in the store room. Yeah, a trio/quartet would be fun.Think it's all about practise lor. Last year didn't had much time to practise for my violin, so I failed all sections EXCEPT aural (got 18/18 because aural is the same for all music practical exams).I learnt violin before too, but hated those high positions. All the notes are so close to each other, your fingers get squashed hehehehe.Well, it's never too late to pick up flute, or any other new instruments now.Am learning flute now. But still a beginner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
