Introduction
Every year few millions of Americans start to study music. After one year 80% of them stop this studying. They are not talented enough? However, what they are studying for a whole year long? All music theory can be delivered for 30 minutes (even less). Of course not everyone can remember it at once. These pupils do not read the books on music? There are so many books on music theory
As a lot of people we studied music at schools. Did someone catch enough to play? We can’t say yes on this question. Afterwards we learn to play using different books and manuals. These papers promised many good things but that was sort of suffering to learn to play. By trial and error we have figured out quite enough information which can eliminate this suffering. So we decided to write a book if we could read one we would not get through difficulties for many years long.
In this book we tried to explain the origin and fundamental properties of music. We named this as anatomy of music because we tried to dive in the depth of it. We delever it in historical and logic succession demonstrating it on examples for playing piano and keyboards.
We delivered music theory quite completely trying to eliminate confusive moments.
About This Book
Play Easily on Piano and Keyboards, delivers needed information to play any song you just have heard and even more. You will be able to play without notes because you’ll understand the anatomy of music. You will be able to write them yourself. By the way you'll get system knowledge of music. This book contains no junk and confusions. Read this book and you’ll gain the skill to play piano and keyboard (and not only) professionally in a short period.
Part 1: About Music Theory
Chapter 1: Anatomy of Music
In This Chapter:
The origin of music
Some physical aspects of music
Tones and medieval music
Why are there so many pitches and only few tones
When did music start?
All depends on what kind of sounds someone would call the music. We think the music started when someone understood that the two strings one of which is twice as much have the same voice (tone) if they are equally tensioned. To get new tones (voices} Pythagoras divided the difference of these two strings in 12 parts knowing that it gives 12 different voices. He could divide it in some other way for instance in 13 times. But the number 12 was magic at that time. So he did as he did and now we have European music. In some regions of China it is divided in 13th and they have Chinese music.
Nowadays this is known (but not for all) that if sounds have frequencies which are in 2, 4, 8.... times more or less, all these sounds have the same voice or tone. Such strings sound as if they say the same.Later you’ll find the proof of it when we’ll teach you to play Happy birthday
.
These 12 different tones (solo voices) constitute an octave. As the range of sounds spreads from 16 Hz up to 20000Hz there are lots of pitches and can be 11 octaves. But every octave consists of the same 12 tones (lower or higher).
What is the pitch
Pitch is the quality of a sound governed by the rate of vibrations producing it; the degree of highness or lowness of a tone. The main characteristic of pitch is the frequency of vibration which can switch from 16 Hz to 20000 Hz. But why are there so many pitches and only few (twelve) tones?
––––––––
Why are there so many pitches and only few tones
It’s very well established phenomena in physics. The sound is produced by mechanical vibration which is propagated through the air. The ideal vibration does not exist in nature. Even the string vibrates not as sinus. (Ideal vibration must write the sinus curve). It has distortions which physically turn to be presented as the harmonics i. e. the vibrations with frequencies of 2, 4, 8... times higher or lower of the frequency of main vibration. So if the string vibrates with the frequency saying 440 Hz there are the vibrations with the frequencies.....55 Hz; 110Hz; 220 Hz; 440 Hz; 880 Hz; 1760 Hz..... The intensity of vibration with the frequency 440 Hz is most high. The vibrations with the
