Q. If there was a song I liked in the key of c let's say, and I wanted to play the song in the key of e what is being done differently ? Obviously the chords but would the chord patterns be different and what chords would you play?
The song I would like to play on the piano is imagine by John lennon
But I want to play Cher lloyds version of it which I believe is in a different key.
So if you can explain anything you know about the Keys of Music and help me out with the two songs? Thanks !! X
A. It's good to know what each scale tone is for these:
I - tonic
ii - supertonic
iii - mediant
IV - subdominant
V - dominant
vi - submediant
viiº - leading tone
The names weren't really necessary, but knowing the notes of each scale degree is helpful. For example, scale degree I in the key of C is C, scale degree ii is D, iii is E, etc.
The key signature of E major has four sharps: F#, C#, G# and D#
Just remember these when you're playing the chords.
You'd move everything up four half steps, if you want to just do it that way.
Hope this helps!
How to play a song on piano using chords?
Q. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AJzOwK-qys
From what I can tell, all he/she is doing is playing chords in different patterns. How can I learn different chord patterns like this? Is there maybe any website that can teach me? Thanks for the help!
A. This is not a classical music question. The Smiths are a pop band... so the question is irrelevant.
How do people with musical knowledge hear music?
Q. For my college writing course I have written this paragraph about my experience listening to music as a music major. Please share your experience
As music majors, you have primarily been taught to listen to music to determine the phrase structure and the chord patterns. It feels as though every time we listen to music we have to analyze every detail of the piece. Doesnât that get tiring? Personally, I miss being able to sit back and relax listening to music. Now it just seems like more work than pleasure. Having such a rich background in music, it is almost impossible for us to just listen to the surface of the music anymore. We have to actually try to not analyze a piece because the process has been trained to be so automatic. What is the first thing you focus on when you listen to a piece of music? Is it the music itself or something that is underneath; something the untrained ear would not pick up? Donât get me wrong, I find it fascinating that there is so much more to music than people think, but it would be nice to turn that part of your brain off every once in a while. It seems as though music majors are so much more critical of music because they know so much about it. We are hesitant to give some music a try because it is âgoing against the rulesâ that we have learned. Next time you listen to a piece of music, try to ignore your knowledge about music. Try to hear it as ânon-music peopleâ do, your perception might turn out completely different.
A. It's a good experience but can be annoying specially when everyone else thinks the song is hot and the artist is so talented but you find yourself picking out all of the flaws on the song . the Once you learn how and what to listen for it's hard to go back as a non musical educated person. When I hear a song, automatically I gotta listen to to each instruments, the vocal, the key of the song, the BPM, Structure and if the singer's voice is real or edited with a software. That's why music nowadays is really bad because everyone is a "star" while they cant even find the middle C on a piano. But yes your view and musical taste will forever change.
