1. Detailed explanation of music theory knowledge
The Basic Music Tutorial is a really good book. I am using it. The content is very comprehensive. The book is for higher education teachers. This textbook is written by the music major of the school. It is a basic music course that combines basic theoretical knowledge (music theory) and basic skill training (sight-singing and ear training).
At the same time, it can also be used as a teaching material for amateur classes in art academies, education and further training colleges, secondary teachers, kindergarten teachers, and cultural centers, as well as a self-study reference book for primary and secondary school music teachers and music lovers. This book is a sub-volume of "Basic Music Course Tutorial", and its preparation is closely coordinated with the other two sub-volumes: "Ear Training Volume" and "Sight-Singing Volume".
In addition to notation methods, the content of this book includes basic knowledge (note length, pitch, beat, rhythm, speed, dynamics, intervals, major and minor modes, national modes, ***, tonal changes, decoration In addition to the two parts (music, melody, texture, etc.), some new chapters have been added based on years of teaching experience. Such as "dynamic level" to cultivate a sense of rhythm and "timbre" (such as natural color, artistic color, chroma difference, etc.) to improve the sense of pitch.
Basic Music Tutorial is a really good book. I am using it. It has a very complete content. This book is a textbook written for music majors in normal colleges and universities. It is a combination of basic theoretical knowledge (music theory). ) and basic skill training (sight-singing and ear training) are taught together as a basic music course. At the same time, it can also be used as a teaching material for amateur classes in art academies, education and further training colleges, secondary teachers, kindergarten teachers, cultural centers, as well as a self-study reference book for primary and secondary school music teachers and music lovers.
This book is a sub-volume of "Basic Music Course Tutorial", and is closely coordinated with the other two sub-volumes: "Ear Training Volume" and "Sight-Singing Volume". The content of this book includes notation methods, basic knowledge (note length, pitch, beat, rhythm, speed, dynamics, intervals, major and minor modes, national modes, ***, tonal changes, ornamentation, melody, texture, etc. ) two parts, some new chapters have been added based on summarizing many years of teaching experience.
Such as "dynamic level" to cultivate a sense of rhythm and "timbre" to improve the sense of pitch (such as natural color, artistic color, chroma difference, etc.), as well as "modal tone movement" to analyze national modes. "Rhythm", etc., this book emphasizes the integration of theory with practice. In the explanation of the principles of music elements, it provides more examples of musical works, avoiding the boring nature of simply learning theory, increasing learning interest, and consolidating basic knowledge. On the one hand, this is for the needs of sight-singing and ear-training lessons, and on the other hand, it is also for students to lay a solid theoretical foundation and clear obstacles and reduce difficulties for learning other courses in the future.
Media Recommendation Preface "Basic Music Science" is a basic music course that combines basic theoretical knowledge (music theory) and basic skill training (sight-singing and ear training). It is extremely important for every music major student.
However, some students, because they are not very clear about the teaching purpose of this course, think that this course is just about learning to read and notate music. This is a misunderstanding of regarding teaching means as the purpose of teaching.
Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, our country has never published a basic music textbook that integrates music theory, sight-singing, and ear training and is suitable for music majors in normal colleges and universities. In 1992, the Basic Music Education Branch of the Chinese Musicians Association, which was established during the Fifth National Music Education Reform Seminar held in Jinan, formed a teaching textbook compilation committee at the request of teachers, and began to compile a teaching textbook including music theory, visual music, etc. "Basic Music Tutorial" is divided into three volumes: singing and ear training (music hearing training). This series of textbooks first reflects the new concept of the purpose of basic music teaching: 1. Improve musical quality.
2. Develop musical memory. 3. Cultivate creative awareness.
I agree with these three aspects. 1. Improving music quality is not just technical training. It should cultivate music appreciation while training music perception, so as to improve the ability to understand music works.
This is the main thing. 2. Developing music memory is very important for every music worker.
Without a good musical memory, no matter what major you are engaged in (playing music, singing, writing, composing music), it will be difficult. It is said that Mozart and Luo Hei, a singer from the Tang Dynasty in my country, have amazing memories. Although they have their own talent factors, it is inseparable from the fact that they have already stored a large amount of musical information in their brains during the learning process.
According to scientists, the human brain can store 46 million pieces of information. The average person still has 90% of their potential that has not been realized.
Therefore, it is very necessary for us to help students develop memory in basic music courses; years of experience have shown that it is entirely possible. 3. To cultivate creative consciousness, students are first required to develop the habit of independent thinking. Not only must they insist on completing homework alone after class, but they must also be good at summarizing what the teacher said in class, grasping the key points, and raising doubts.
In this tutorial, theoretical analysis questions for sight-singing exercises are designed and basic skill training is required with an improvisational nature. These methods are of great benefit to cultivating pioneering talents with creative spirit.
The more than twenty members who participated in the compilation of "Basic Music Science Tutorial" are all experienced teachers who have been teaching on the front line for many years, are dedicated to research, are effective, and have the courage to reform and innovate. In particular, the editor-in-chief, Professor Sun Congyin, has been teaching and researching this subject for nearly 50 years since he started working at the Shanghai China Conservatory of Music in 1946, and has accumulated rich experience.
"Basic Music Tutorial" is based on inheriting the excellent tradition and giving full play to collective wisdom. It first summarizes our country's teaching experience, and at the same time refers to new foreign teaching materials and advanced teaching methods, and draws on the scientific research results of our country's national music theory. , and highlight the normality, proceed from reality and face the basics. Regarding the solfa method that has been debated in our country for decades, this tutorial clearly proposes to focus on the first-key solfa method and also learn the fixed solfa method.
This is in line with the reality of my country's normal colleges. The specific teaching methods on how to master these two solfa methods proposed in this tutorial are also very helpful for beginners. The three volumes of "Basic Music Course Tutorial" focus on ear training (music hearing training) as the main line of teaching.
The teaching of sight-singing and music theory should focus on the eight musical elements in auditory training, allowing students to learn in an eight-repeated spiral. This kind of teaching materials and teaching methods have been fully recognized and widely used abroad.
Because it conforms to the objective laws that the human brain requires when learning, from shallow to deep, step by step, repeated consolidation, and continuous improvement. "base.
2. What are some little knowledge about music theory?
Little knowledge about music theory (1) 1: Tone is a physical phenomenon.
When an object vibrates, it produces sound waves, which travel through the air to the eardrum and are reflected by the brain and are perceived as sound. The sound that people can hear vibrates about 16-2000 times per second, and the sounds used in music (excluding sounds) are generally limited to the range of 27-4100 vibrations per second.
The pitch, strength, length and timbre of the sound depend on the vibration of the object. 2: Tone-color refers to the sensory characteristics of sound.
The vibration of the sound body is composed of a variety of harmonics, including fundamental tones and overtones. The timbre is determined by the number of overtones and the relative intensity between the overtones. People's ability to distinguish timbre is innate. The color of music is divided into vocal timbre and instrumental timbre.
The vocal timbres are divided into high, medium and bass, and are divided into male and female; the instrumental timbres are mainly divided into string instruments and wind instruments, and the timbres of various percussion instruments are different. 3: Resonance Resonance refers to a kind of vibration.
When a sound-producing body vibrates, it causes other objects to vibrate and emit sound, producing a buzzing sound. 4: Fundamental tone The lowest frequency sound emitted when an object vibrates is the fundamental tone, and the rest are overtones.
The fundamental note determines the pitch. 5: Harmonic overtone: In addition to the lowest sound produced by the overall vibration of the sound body, which is the fundamental tone, and based on the fundamental tone, the remaining 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and other parts also vibrate at the same time and are overtones.
The combination of overtones determines a specific timbre and allows people to clearly feel the loudness of the fundamental tone. Musical instruments and all sounds in nature have overtones.
6: Pitch (Pitch) Pitch is expressed by the number of vibrations in one second. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch; the lower frequency, the lower the pitch.
The current internationally accepted standard sound "a" is a sound that vibrates 440 times per second. 7: Pitch name Pitch name refers to the name that represents a fixed pitch in the Western music system.
These names are not unified and vary from country to country. The most widely used ones are: C D E F G A B.
8: Syllable names Syllable names refer to the names of each note on the scale. Usually 1do, 2re, 3mi, 4fa, 5sol, 6la, 7si are used.
The tonic in a major key is 1do, and the tonic in a minor key is 6la. 9: Sound range (pass) The range between the lowest and highest notes that a human voice or musical instrument can achieve is called the sound range.
The vocal range can be divided into the total vocal range and individual vocal ranges, as well as the vocal and musical instrument ranges. 10: Tonality Tonality refers to the mode category and tonic height.
In music, the tonic is the core of melody and harmony, and other sounds are subordinate to it and finally end on the tonic. Such music is tonal music.
Little knowledge about music theory (2) 11: Scale (Scale) refers to each note in the mode, starting from a certain pitch, that is, starting from the tonic, and moving the notes in order from low to high. To arrange, such a sequence of sounds is called a scale. The scale from low to high is called ascending, and the scale from high to low is called descending.
The scales we are talking about today are based on the most common major scale (major key) and minor scale (minor key). 12: Pentatonic scale A scale composed of five tones.
Mostly used in folk music. Such as: do, re, mi, sol, la, (do).
13: Major mode A type of mode. In the heptatonic scale, the distance between adjacent two tones is divided into two types: whole steps and semitones.
Except for the semitone between the third and fourth tones and the semitone between the seventh and eighth tones, the rest of the scale is a whole tone. The colors in major keys are brighter.
14: Minor mode is a type of mode. The heptatonic scale has four forms: "natural minor", "harmonic minor", "melodic minor" and "modern minor scale". The colors of minor keys are generally darker than those of major keys, and are often used to express sadness and melancholy.
The space between the second and third notes of the natural minor (minor scale) and the fifth and sixth notes are semitones. 15: Just intonation is different from the twelve equal laws.
The relationship between each note and the tonic in the scale is a pure interval. Since the semitones formed in this way cannot be divided into equal parts, they cannot be modulated casually and have been eliminated by history.
16: Key-note The first note in the modal scale. A type of Temperament.
Divide an octave into twelve semitones, and the intervals of the semitones are all equal. Pianos, harps and other musical instruments are all tuned according to this temperament.
17: Semi tone, whole tone (Semi tone, Whole tone) Divide an octave into twelve equal parts, each part is a semitone, and two semitones are equivalent to a whole tone. A semitone is equivalent to a minor second, and a whole tone is equivalent to a major second.
18: Consonant and dissonant intervals (Consonant, Dissonance) According to the degree of consonance, it can be divided into complete consonant intervals (pure 1, 4, 5, 8 degrees) and incomplete consonant intervals (major, minor) 3, 6 degrees). Other than that it's all dissonance.
19: Interval refers to the distance between two notes. The unit for calculating musical intervals is called "degree", and the number of syllables between two sounds is called "degree".
Intervals with the same degree can be differentiated into pure, major, minor, increased, or decreased due to the different numbers of semitones and whole tones they contain. 20: Twelve-tone system (tweleve-tone system, tweleve-note system) is one of the modern composition techniques.
It was founded in 1921 by Austrian composer Schoenberg. The composer abandoned the traditional mode, tonality and harmony system, arbitrarily arranged the twelve tones in the chromatic scale into a year-long sequence, and then processed them with techniques such as inversion and retrograde. Unless all the tones have appeared, otherwise No sound may be repeated.
Little knowledge about music theory (3) 21: Pentatonic scale There are five tones in an octave, which is called "pentatonic scale". 22: Diationic scale. There are seven notes in an octave, which is called a "seven-note scale".
23: Dynamics (dynamics) Dynamics refers to the intensity of the sound when playing and singing music. Expressed by velocity symbols, such as f (strong), p (weak), < (crescendo), > (decrescendo), etc.
26: Indefinite pitch (indeterminate pitch) The sound used in the music without a clear pitch is called indefinite pitch. It is actually noise and does not belong to the scope of the music.
Modern composers often use sounds such as the sound of sawing wood, folding paper, typing, sweeping, tapping, hissing, whistling, etc. 27: Asymmetric rhythm (asymmetric rhythm), also known as "polyrhythm" (polyrhythm).
In the same phrase or measure, each voice.
3. Can anyone tell me some practical basic music theory tips and tricks?
1. Staff;
Staff has five lines separated by four spaces. ; The third room, the treble "Duo"; the lower line is the alto "Duo"; the first line is "Mi" (mi), the second line is "Sui"; the first, second and third rooms are "Fa, La, Duo".
/p>
The kitten in the first line*** the little mouse in the second line; the little red flower in the first line plays the violin in the second line.

2. Treble clef
The second line starts to bend upward, and when it bends to the third line, it turns downward , turn from the second line to the first line, draw a circle and stick out your head diagonally, turn back and cross the fourth line, stick your head straight down, turn around and draw a dot;
3. Whole note
Whole note, empty note head, no stem connected to the head, no stem connected to the stem, only an empty note head, remember that it needs to sing four beats;
4. Half notes and quarter notes
Half notes have empty note heads, quarter notes have black note heads; only the stem has no tail, and the stem is always connected to the head; the stem is written on the left with the stem facing down, and the stem with the stem facing up is written on the right; half notes sing two beats , sing one beat of the quarter note; distinguish the black and white note heads, and remember the black one and the white note;
5. Eighth notes
The eighth notes have black note heads, and there are also The stem is connected to the head; a long black tail is connected to the right side of the stem; the eighth note is very special, remember that it only sings for half a beat;
6. Sixteenth note
< p> The sixteenth note has a black note head, and the stem is connected to the head; the two tails are black, and they are connected to the right side of the stem; the sixteenth note is very strange, and only sings a quarter beat;Extended information
Musical Notation is a notation method commonly used in the world. It is marked with notes of different duration and other values ??on five equally spaced parallel horizontal lines. Symbols are used to record music and are one of the most widely used musical notations;
The earliest place of origin is Greece, and its history is much earlier than the simplified musical notation in the form of numbers. In ancient Greece, the main form of music was vocal music. In the Roman era, another symbol began to be used to represent the pitch of the sound. This notation was called "Newm notation";
The staff is mainly used for keyboard instruments, and keyboard players who are familiar with the staff are The foundation for great playing.
4. Basic knowledge of music theory
1. Sell a copy of "Basic Music Theory" (the one from the National Ninth Five-Year Plan is the best) and study systematically
2. The four books "Harmony", "Orchestration", "Polyphony" and "Form Analysis" are essential tutorials for music creation. Also take a look at the "Music Dictionary", especially the part about the musical instrument's range and best timbre. Guitar ***, it is recommended to buy a copy of "Guitar Self-Study in Three Months", even if it is a pirated version, you can use it
3. When you are just starting out, it is recommended to write some short songs, one verse, two verses, Three sections and the like, and then write more difficult sonatas, rondos, symphonies, etc. You can also write some small instrumental music genres, such as trios, quartets, nocturnes, etc. in chamber music
4. It’s easy to write well, but you still have to spend a lot of energy and time to think about it. If you often listen to other people’s orchestration, you will also greatly improve yourself
5. Self-study music theory knowledge Method
I started to study music theory books for your reference
1 Intensive music training for the college entrance examination (basic music theory simulation test questions and answers) by Qian Renping
The first half is the test questions and the second half is the most basic part of the answer
2 Entering the Hall of Music (Basic Music Theory and Music Knowledge Volume) Written by Zheng Shilian
Please forgive me for the fact that there are some books that cannot be found.
However, it is difficult to learn the methods of some knowledge and questions just by looking at them. It may be helpful to find some formal forums and join special sections to ask questions that cannot be clarified. I hope you can learn music theory as soon as possible. Come on! The uncle teaches music
The most important thing is to practice until you master every detail in the music score, sing more and practice more.
Follow Uncle Song's steps and start from scratch. As long as you persist, there will be absolutely no problem
