Superior Singing Method - Audiation and Learning

[sagasan]

It is a fact that most musicians that cannot read feel somehow guilty about it. Is that feeling justified? Is it really necessary for everybody to learn how to read music? Well, you are not alone in feeling this way: I was feeling the same for a long time (until I actually learned Superior Singing Method Review to read music). Was it as useful as I thought it would be? Yes and no. Granted, I was able to read some more advanced books on music theory. On the other hand, let us get clear of one of the major misunderstanding right away: you DO NOT need to be able to read music in order to understand music theory. As unpopular as this may be (to some teachers), you can become quite proficient in your knowledge and application of music theory without knowing how to read a single note. In fact, I know plenty of recording studio professionals who do not read standard music notation (but see below).

And this was the good news. There's More To It Than Standard Notation The "bad" news (but not that bad really) is that you DO need to learn some form of music notation in order to communicate with your fellow musicians, or to write down your ideas. In fact, you already know at least one notation, that is writing down chords on top of the lyrics of a song. So do not worry! Not all types of music notation require you to learn to read a score. Most of them are way easier, and just as useful (if not more, at least in some communities of musicians). You might ask, why should you need to learn one of these types of music notation? Well, for instance if you do not know ANY ways of reading/writing music you will be quite at a disadvantage in any situation where you need to work on a song, both by yourself and with other people.

Communicating efficiently will be impossible. You may also be excluded from some circles because it is too difficult to explain songs or concepts to you. So the key here is to learn the music notation you NEED to know. The first step is to determine what music notation you Superior Singing Method need (we will get to it in a moment). The second step is learn it. There are some resources at the end of this article to help you getting to that. In the following we are going to look at Chord-based systems, Tablature, and Standard notation. All these systems are useful if applied in the right context. To start, let us acknowledge the elephant in the room. If you are, or if you want to be a classical musician, you absolutely need learn to read standard music notation.

The same is true if you want to work in situations where you need to work with classical musicians (such as becoming an orchestrator, or working in the movie music industry). These goals are very specific, and I will assume that you do not share them in the rest of this article. Of course, if you DO have one of these goals, then you simply have to learn the standard notation. Standard notation is not a monolithic block, though. While I do not recommend everybody to learn the whole thing, I do heartily suggest that anyone who want to be a musician should learn rhythmic notation (i.e. what is a bar, how to divide it in beats, how to divide the beats in eighths, sixteenths, triplets, etc). Rhythmic notation is easy to learn and has an incredible power to generate musical ideas: you do not want to miss on that.
