Q. Thanks. Are they both the same some examples of classical music would be nice as well.
One of my friends says that they're both completely different.
Thanks

A. I think we all know that a melody is the tune - the series of notes that is played or sung by the solo part. A chord progression is the order of the choices of harmony, and is sometimes played by the pianist's left hand, and sometimes played by a multi-note instrument - piano, guitar, harp, etc. - and sometimes by three or more one-notes instruments. When you consider the Mozart flute quartets, the melody is most often played by the flute, and the violin, viola, and cello join to play harmony; the movement from one harmony or chord to another is the chord progression, or harmonic progression. If you consider the Bach Siciliano in g minor from the Eb major flute sonata, the harpsichord is playing the accompaniment, and the flute plays the melody. The chord progression is usually notated in Roma numerals indicating function, in classical music - you see things like I - V7/vi - vi - ii - V7 - I. In popular music, you usually see the chords themselves written, with no regard to their functional analysis: C - E7 - amin - dmin - G7 - C.
Do they make sheet music for piano that isn't solo pieces?
Q. Every time I look at pop songs or rock songs for piano, it's al solos with the let hand playing a part and the right hand usually playing what the singer sings. However, when the people perform these songs (for example, Paul McCartney performing Live and Let Die) they don't seem to be playing the solo part of them singing, just a chords while they sing. Where can I get sheet music that's just the chords? Is there a name for this kind of sheet music?
A. You might be thinking of what is referred to as 'cheat sheets' that players and even learned musicians use all the time. An aid to quickly learn basic piano, and even new composition material.
But saying you just use the piano chords is really looking at the lower, left hand staff (instrument) of sheet music in conjunction with the upper, right hand (stave) staff melody or voice measures.
If you can read music (piano) script, then you are already performing the chord, key accompaniments.
Most all popular song books are presenting the voice melody and instrument accompaniments (only) with the upper and lower along with guitar chords along and above the melody line.
Better sheet music and manuals designated (exclusive) for piano keyboard, will include any note pattern (combinations) signatures showing the chord progressions and shifts on the music, staff measures itself.
Why do the media constantly talk about twerking now that miley cyrus had done it?
Q. Black entertainers such as Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Rihana, etc have been twerking in almost all of their music videos and their concerts and the media had not made a big deal out of this dance, but now since some anorexic white woman (who has no ass at all) "tries" to twerk, the media has made such a big deal out of it. People (white people) have even gone as far as to say that this chick created this dance when in reality it had originated in africa and had been very popular in the black community. Before miley had "tried" to twerk, no white entertainers ever even tried this dance. I really think miley is trying to exploit black culture. But anyways, why have this dance become such a popular topic in the media just because this white girl tried to do it? And failed miserably at that
A. Guitar
Out of all the string instruments, guitar is certainly the most popular and has lasted for centuries. Music lessons for acoustic guitar will inspire you entertain friends and strangers at parties. It's the perfect portable instrument that doesn't require electricity, which allows you to take it anywhere. It's also a wonderful instrument to sing along with. Once you learn a handful of basic chords, you can learn to play and sing hundreds of songs. It's also a convenient tool for songwriting.
Not many other instruments are as versatile as an acoustic guitar, which can be used as either a lead instrument for melodies or a background instrument for rhythmic chord progressions. Electric guitar is also an instrument that adds imaginative techniques to your playing, but requires extra gear, such as an amplifier, cables and effects units. Once you take music lessons for acoustic guitar, you can quickly accelerate at electric guitar.
Piano
The widest range of frequencies among acoustic instruments can be found on a standard piano, which is a simple instrument to understand because the notes are laid out on a linear keyboard. It does take many music lessons to be proficient at piano, which is also true of most instruments. You don't have to learn classical pieces to be considered brilliant on piano. Like guitar, it's a great instrument for accompaniment to singing and a tool for writing songs.
Music lessons for piano will prove valuable for learning the synthesizer as well. It's the same progression of notes, but a synthesizer gives you many more variables to play with, such as adding electronic beats, altering sounds and adding effects.
Bass
A bass can be acoustic or electric and is important for adding deep tones to music. Learning the bass is essentially learning how to be creative with root notes to chord progressions, which gives music a fuller, more powerful sound. It's the bassist's job to act as the glue that holds rhythm and melody together. The bass works with the drums to form the rhythm section of music while accenting notes that help define a song's melodic structure. Music lessons for bass put you at the core of understanding a full arrangement.
Drums
The beat of music is driven by the drummer, who needs to be the clock of a band. Even though drums are typically not a solo instrument, there are many times in every musical genre when a drummer gets to shine. Music lessons for drums will help your sense of timing, as it can strengthen the foundation of music, especially for dancing. In many ways drums are the key instrument in defining a genre.
Harmonica
The harmonica is an excellent instrument for traveling because it fits in your pocket. Even though you can't sing and play harmonica at the same time it's a fine instrument for mixing with guitar and adding solos. Music lessons for a harmonica are really not that hard to learn while the instrument adds fullness and variety to music, especially for traditional songs.
