Many people now learn music from records

1. Learn music theory. Usually includes relatively simple basic theories, such as music reading, intervals, chords, rhythm, beat, etc. Music theory mainly includes the pitch, strength, length and timbre of the sound. Among them, the pitch and length of the sound are the most important. The pitch of the sound is determined by the number of vibrations (frequency) of an object in a certain period of time.

Tone color refers to the sensory characteristics of sound. It is an important expression method in music that is extremely attractive and can directly touch the senses. The pitch, strength, length, and timbre of the sound are very important in musical performance.

2. Learn sight-singing and ear training. It usually includes three parts: auditory training, dictation and sight-singing. The learning steps can be divided into scale exercises, interval modeling and singing, chord connection exercises, two-part sight-singing exercises, etc. Sight-singing and ear training can develop musical hearing, enhance musical memory, cultivate correct pitch and rhythm, and acquire proficient music reading skills and rich musical vocabulary.

3. Learn harmony. Harmony is a sound combination composed of two or more different tones sounding at the same time according to certain rules, including chords and harmonic progressions. Chord is the basic material of harmony, consisting of 3 or more different tones, which are combined simultaneously according to the superposition of thirds or other methods.

Harmonic progression refers to the sequence of chords. Harmony plays the role of forming phrases, dividing sections and terminating music, and has obvious color effects of thick, light, thick and thin.

4. Learn musical forms. Musical form is the structural form of music. Various paragraphs are formed during the development process. Among the regularities formed by these paragraphs, the most unique format that can be found is musical form.

A piece of music consisting of only one section is called a "piece form", which is generally composed of two 'sections' (specifically called a section) of four (or eight) sections each. 'Square passages') are most common in instrumental music.
