Simplified musical notation refers to a simple notation method. There are two types of alphabetical notation and number notation.

The commonly known scientific notation refers to the numerical musical notation

The alphabetic musical notation: mainly used in the United States, Britain and other countries. Among them are the movable solfa method pioneered by H.C. Glover and completed by J. Curwen. It uses d, r, m, f, s, l, t, 7 letters as the basic notes.

First of all, you need to know the notes, 1234567, the duration of each number is equivalent to the quarter note of the staff. It's easy to remember with numbers.

The digital musical notation is based on the movable solfa method. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 represent the 7 basic note levels in the scale, and are pronounced as do, re, mi, and fa. , sol, la, si, rest is represented by O.

Understand musical scales: Adding a dot above represents a higher scale, and adding a dot below represents the first scale.

Learning skills: Listen to more examples, read more scores, hum and sing more to help you find the feeling and rhythm.

Simple musical notation

Simple musical notation refers to a simple notation method. There are two types of alphabetical notation and number notation.

It originated in France in the 18th century, and was later improved by the Germans and became what it is today. Generally speaking, simplified musical notation refers to digital musical notation. The digital musical notation is based on the movable solfa method, using 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 to represent the 7 basic levels of the scale, which are pronounced as do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti ( China is si), English is represented by C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and rest is represented by 0. The duration name of each number is equivalent to the quarter note of the staff.

Basic elements

Generally speaking, there are four basic elements in the composition of all music, and the most important of them are "the pitch of the sound" and "the length of the sound":

1. Pitch of sound: Any piece of music is composed of alternating high and low sounds. Looking directly at the piano, the keyboard sound to the left is lower, and the keyboard sound to the right is higher. As far as numbered musical notation is concerned, there are a number of dots "˙" and ":" symbols directly above or below the numbers. The number of dots can be understood as intensity. The more the dots, the stronger. Above them represent high notes and below them represent bass. The principle is expressed as the vibration frequency of an object. The higher the pitch, the higher the vibration frequency, and vice versa.

2. The length of the sound: In addition to the pitch of the sound, another important factor is the length of the sound. The notation of the pitch and length of the sound determines which piece of music is different from other pieces of music, and therefore becomes the most important basic element that constitutes music. The principle is expressed in the duration of sound.

3. Music intensity: The intensity of music is easy to understand, also called intensity. There are always some notes in a piece of music that are stronger and others that are weaker. Changes in intensity are one of the factors that express emotions in musical works. The principle is expressed in terms of amplitude.

4. Sound quality: It can also be called timbre. That is, an instrument or human voice that makes music. Boys and girls have different timbres when singing the same melody; violins and pianos have different timbres.

The above four items form the basic elements of any piece of music. It should be said that simplified musical notation can basically mark these basic elements correctly.
