Hi peeps. I believe we've learnt a lot so far. I must say I've gotten used to receiving ban. It appears there are some rules I don't know about in this forum.

Forging ahead, we will see how the Bass staff is named.
The Bass staff is named in the same manner as the treble staff. However, the first line from bottom is your sound G, followed by space A, line B, space C, line D, space E, line F, space G and finally line A. So how do you remember easily? Think of the lines as Gallant Boys Deserve Friendship Also and the spaces as All Chicks Eat Gala. So naming the bass staff from bottom to top, we have G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and A.

Now that we have named the treble and bass staff, we can go a step further and name the grand staff.
From bottom to top, we have, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, (B, middleC, D) E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, and F.

The notes in bracket are outside the conventional five lines and four spaces. These notes are placed on, what is known as, ledger lines and spaces. Ledger lines and spaces are short horizontal lines and spaces above or below a musical staff used to accommodate sounds(notes) in a bid to achieve continuity in music.

Reconstructing the thread...

Chiefly:
Awsome! Following..

Good to have you here

Hello peeps. I trust we're having a great weekend. This morning we will learn how to name the treble and bass staff. This is very important because it is your first step in learning how to read music. So, let's dive straight in.

First we must understand the structure of the staff. As we move up the staff, that is from bottom to top, the pitch increases. That is, notes placed high up the staff are higher in pitch than notes placed down the staff.

This is how the treble staff is named. The first line from bottom is named sound E. Next, we have a space, which is named sound F. After the space, we have the second line named sound G. Then we have space A, followed by line B, followed by space C, then line D, space E and finally line F. It is important to note that as we move from bottom line E to top line F, the pitch increases.
To remember the names easily, you can think of the lines as Every Gorgeous Bae Deserves Friendship. And the spaces as FACE for face. You can form yours though. Naming the treble staff from bottom to top, we have E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, and F.

I will continue in a bit.

I don't know why I keep getting banned everytime I add a post. Anybody knows why here?

RSAMAN:
You forgot to explain how a treble or bass clef looks like.

Thank you for your input.

This is what a grand staff looks like.

As you can see, it's a combination of the treble staff and the bass staff. Do you know the lines and spaces of the staff have their names? You will learn more about that in my next post.

Hi peeps. This evening I will further go deep into a property of music, pitch. Like I earlier stated in one of my posts, pitch is the degree of highness or lowness of a musical sound. Recall also that I outlined the difference between pitch and volume. You can review the difference by looking at my previous post.

Now, there are seven fundamental musical sounds, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. These sounds are used to compose music. Music is composed by placing musical notes on different parts of a musical staff. Just chill, I will tell you what a musical staff. A music staff is a diagram showing five horizontal parallel lines on which different musical elements, including music notes, clef, time signature, key signature, etc are placed for the purpose of composing a musical piece. So many terms right? I know. I will explain them one after the other.
In between the five parallel lines, you have four spaces. Musical notes can either be placed on a line or a space.
As for the clef, it is a symbol that gives us an idea what the range of the music, in terms of pitch is. The two popular types of clef are the Treble clef(aka G clef) and the Bass clef(aka F clef). The treble or G clef tells us that the range of the music is on the treble level(the thin high pitch level). The bass or F clef, on the other hand tells us that the range of music is on the bass level(the broad low pitch level).

A music staff with a treble clef on it is called a treble staff, while a music staff with a bass clef on it is called a bass staff. Apart from these, there is also a type of music staff that combines both treble and bass staff. It is called a grand staff. It is mostly used by pianists. This is because the piano acxommodates a wide range of pitch. From the bass level to the treble level. A staff is also called a stave.

Let me stop here for now. My next post will expose you to more musical concepts. Stay tuned.

Hello peeps. This morning, I will explain the other two properties of music. Dynamics and timbre.

Dynamics can simply be described as a property of music that measures the loudness or softness of a musical sound. Music can be loud or soft, it can be very loud or very soft. Sometimes, it can move from loud to soft, or from soft to loud, and so on. Composers make judicious use of dynamics to make their music very interesting. Popular examples of dynamics are "forte" which means loud, "crescendo" which means getting gradually louder, "decrescendo" which means getting gradually softer and so on.

The final property of music is timbre, which is simply the quality or tone colour of a musical sound. Now, different musical instruments have different sound tones or colours. The sound quality of a piano is different from that of a guitar and the sound quality or tone of a guitar is different from that of a trumpet. That is why you are able to differentiate different instruments just by hearing their sounds. The property that enables you to differentiate different instruments by sound is what is known as timbre.

So, gradually, you are being dipped into the aquarium of music. By now, you should know what music is, the 7 musical sounds, what an octave is, and the four properties of music. If you're not sure, you can always review the previous posts. In subsequent posts, the properties of music will be accentuated. Stay tuned.

Hello peeps. By now, I assume you know what music is, the musical sounds and what an octave is. If you don't, make sure you review my previous posts. This morning, I will introduce you to the fundamental properties of music.

There are 4 fundamental properties of music. We have pitch(how high or low a musical sound or note is), duration(how long a musical sound lasts), dynamics(how loud or soft a musical sound is) and timbre(quality of a musical sound).

So let's start with pitch. Pitch is that property of music that tells how high or low a musical sound is. That is, a musical sound can be high or low in pitch. Pitch is different from volume. To explain this, consider this illustration. Let's assume Lagbaja and Ty Savage are required to perform the national anthem at an event and take one verse each. Naturally, Lagbaja will sing with his deep masculine voice. That voice is low in pitch. Conversely, Ty Savage will sing with her thin feminine soprano voice. That voice is high in pitch. Both of them can sing with the same volume, but the pitch will definitely be different.

Next, I will explain duration. Duration is simply how long a musical sound lasts. A musical sound can be short or long in duration. However, the basis for measuring musical sound is beat. That is, a musical sound can last for 1 beat or 2 beats or half beat or quarter beats, and so on. So what is a beat? A beat is the basic time unit of music. Have you ever played or heard a bass drum? Those single detached identifiable sounds 'boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom' are called beats.

Let me stop here for now so as to give you time to digest this. I will explain the other two properties in my next post. I hope you enjoy your day.

Following..currently taking a lesson on trumpet

Welcome. Glad to hear that.

Now let's talk about musical sounds. Just as combining alphabets make words, combining musical sounds make music.

There are 7 fundamental musical sounds and they are named after the first 7 alphabets of the English language. That is A, B, C, D, E, F and G. Now count them again. Seven right? Good. You might want to ask. After G, what next? H perhaps? H for Hell no. There's no such thing as H in music. After G, you go right back to A. That's how music works. Music is continous; more like a cycle. Like your water cycle in Biology or a wall clock. So let's say you start your music journey from sound F and your destination is E, the bus stops will be G, then A (not H), then B, then C, then D, before you finally get to E.

To round off, let me tell you what an octave is. Octave is simply the eighth sound after or before a musical sound. It is double or half the intensity or pitch(my next post will explain this) of a particular musical sound. For example the octave of C is C'(C octave). This because between C and C octave we have eight sounds(notes). That is CDEFGABCoctave. Count them. 8 right good. Similarly, the octave of A will be A octave. Let's confirm. ABCDEFGAoctave.

Now you know what music is, what musical sounds are, and what an octave is. Progress! My next post will introduce you to the fundamental properties of music. Stay tuned for more.

Iam. Though I don't know how to sing

Thanks for your interest. Not all musicians are excellent singers; Fela, Lagbaja. You can become an instrumentalist or even a music tutor like me. It's about creating a niche and offering something that will add value to people.

So let me start by answering the basic question. What is music? First of all, I must say the answer to this question is subjective. However in simple terms, I will define music as an art of combining instrumental and/or vocal sounds and at the same time, controlling it's properties such as frequency, movement, pitch and volume in such a way that the output is enjoyable to the hearer.

Let me break it down. First, you combine sounds from instruments and/or voices. Then you control the frequency. This necessitates the question; how do you control the frequency? Different instruments have different mechanisms for controlling sound frequency. For example, the guitar uses the thickness of the strings and the fret position to control the pitch(this will be explained in subsequent posts). So if you are learning a musical instrument, what you are doing is learning how to control sound frequency with different mechanisms so as to produce sound that is pleasant to the receivers.

The next post will introduce you to musical sounds.

Hello music lovers. How well do you know music? Okay, let me rephrase. What is the difference between a tie and a slur? What is a crescendo? What is a grupetto? What is the value of a minim? Any clue? I'm willing to teach you all these and more.

This thread, which is powered by Jazzy Mobile Music College(JAMOMUCO), is intended to provide free tutorials on theoritical music. It will be highly beneficial to those who are just getting into music and also to those who are already into music but are not sound in the theory aspect. I will walk you through the rudiments of music; from what music is, to the properties of music, and introduction to sightreading. I will also answer questions that may come up in the course of the tutorials. You can also contribute by adding comments. Who's ready?

Today, 29th May, 2015, marks the dawn of a new era as President-elect Muhammadu Buhari has been inagurated as the President of our beloved nation, Nigeria to take over the mantle of leadership from the Ex-President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

There is no gainsaying that the expectations for him to deliver is zenithal, and we are all itching to hear him affirm his commitment to fulfil all his campaign promises to turn around the rather abysmal situation of this country for better in his inaguration speech. This, of course, will not be an easy task, as you are not a magician. However, you have no excuse not to significantly improve the lives of the citizens who voted you into power. You cannot afford to fail Nigerians.

To say that Nigerians have high hopes in your incoming administration is a gross understatement. In fact, you are the messiah we have been longing for to salvage the deteriorating situation of this country. We've been wounded by PDP's 16 years of mediocre and lustreless governance and we are yet to recover from the hardship imposed by the outgoing administration- characterized by GEJ's 'failing to take responsibility for the problems facing the nation but blaming it on his political rivals' and Ngozi Iweala's 'voodoo economics that has paralyzed the economy of the country'. Baba, we are counting on you to heal the wounds of this country. Again, You cannot afford to fail Nigerians.

Today is not a day to cast stones or criticize anybody, but it's essential we know where we are coming from, where we are, and where we are heading to. Today is a celebration of democracy - government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It's our desire that, under your administration, our democracy will be further strengthened and policies that will promote the interest of common Nigerians and entrench justice will be implemented.

Fellow Nigerians, let us join our hands together and support the incoming administration.
'Nigeria yi to gbogbo wa ni.
Ko ma gbodo baje.
E je ka so wo po ka fimo she kan.
GBE ka Jo gbe'
Yes, we have been deceived by politicians in times past, but I enjoin us to give this administration a chance. Let's do away with hate, prejudice, selfishness, tribalism and any form of bigotry. Let's embrace love, harmony and cooperation and restore our values - a great nation bound in freedom, peace and unity.

God Bless Ex-resident Goodluck Jonathan.
God Bless President Muhammadu Buhari.
God Bless Nigeria.
