Mmm. Okay, that really changed speed quite a lot lol!
Modes don't usually come up in education until at quite an advanced stage because it is difficult, and most music use the set scales not modes. But modes were in use since 1100s and through time only a few modes are still popular today
.
Having perfect pitch means you can do either of this:
1) If I ask you to sing a F-sharp, or any given note, you will be able to, and accurately.
2) If I play any note or notes on the piano, you will be able to tell by ear what notes were being played, and accurately.
I also have perfect pitch and it is extremely handy in music exams. It gives you an edge. But when it comes to Baroque pitch having perfect pitch can be a curse though >.<!
Classical music has, I think, a lot more subtlety than modern music - and these subtleties really carry across deep emotions, not just having to rely on swear words to convey disgust
Well, all songs have to start at some point. And transitional passages will come to you if you improvise more
Learning to read music isn't really that hard. But all the more important. If you're good at maths you'll be quite fine. Yes, that essay was horrid, and I got 54%. At least I passed and did not have to re-do the damn thing.
Haha! For my first few songs I *stitched* cool melodies I wrote down over 3 months in a particular order lol!
I mean, like writing, people break rules anyway, particularly old fashioned ones. Very few cares about consecutives/implied fifths and octaves anymore, and sometimes break them intentionally. The rule was invented because the music it produces sounds horrid - but what if the composer said it is intended to sound horrid? Can't argue about that then lol!
Well, unfortunately, no one taught me how to whistle. Or maybe I was so abysmal at it that they gave up teaching.

I've never played Final Fantasy 7
. The MIDI probably managed to drain all the emotion from it, but if I was playing it, the impression would be a cold, autumn evening, as a middle-aged man wrapped his coat around him, walking across the street, met with a mild wind that brought dead leaves on the ground rising up to meet him. Kinda
I think you'd do well with formal musical training too
Well, the scientific side of it is yet to be proven, but it is said that musicians, with the general discipline and understanding of maths, generally do better in Academic subjects, which may in turn lead to interests in reading, and writing, which is another expressive means. I tried composing before I started writing though lol.
Fine then! Keep the plots to yourself
P.S. Yes, some people do hate long replies
And glad you like conversations here because you're never in game!

Yeah, all knowledge of modes will be forced upon you sooner or later
Well, recognising the correct note by hearing is perfect pitch, so long as you express you realise the pitch (reproducing it by guitar or singing) it is still perfect pitch
But a lot of people in music college don't have perfect pitch, so you could consider it a gift of a sort.
Ouch, don't mention the flute - I can't even play a note out of it! I used to play the viola, trumpet and recorder though.
Oh, your maths is fine. As long as you can do multiples and divisions. Well, Beethoven can't do multiplications, so...
Wow, you have the patience to watch ALL of it?
Gosh lol. I wrote Consolation in 2 days ^^ I broke the rule about parallel fifths a couple of times in it, and maybe it has more emotion because I played it and not computer
. I don't get views because I am a cursed individual who just isn't meant to be popular
Well, about that Halloween piece - all pieces at some point received mixed reviews. So Beethoven at his time received many damned reviews asking him to write shorter pieces and make it less complicated. Nowadays no scholar dares to question Beethoven's supremacy
Yeah, that's why I hate it when I don't get what they're doing with their tongues at all lol...
As I said, it was not really scientific lol, but I guess both kinda uses the right side of the brain, kinda...
Personally, I used to no-life this game for absolutely no purpose, and then now I just talk to friends, all of whom I wouldn't have met if I didn't write at all

Well, we all probabl entered college thinking we know a lot about music and all sorts of scales, major, melodic and harmonic minor, octotonic and whole tone scale. But then modes come up, and there are 7 of them!
Actually, it sounds more complicated than it is
Perfect pitch in all shapes and sizes help no matter what. Although some freaks with extreme perfect pitch can tell all 10 notes in a cluster chord, or when a bus pass you by or a fire alarm goes off, they can tell you what note it was, or it was between G and A flat.
We here call these aural training Musicianship classes, and it is brain-frying sometimes
Yeah, flute is a nice instrument, but I just can't blow a note out of it lol. I dropped Trumpet like after a year, and picked up viola instead
Wow, you listen to music when you work? I can't work when I'm listening to music because my brain will be constantly fed information about instrumentation, harmonic progression and what notes were played, then I ended up listening to the music instead and stop working altogether lol. Heh, given the background story for the piece, I wouldn't have been surprised to be able to write it in 2 days lol.
More tags? Possibly, but atm I can sort of still choose what kind of people gets to see these videos and obviously if you don't know me from RS you wouldn't have seen it. But there are some good players out there and my performances will probably be fried.
Judges will inevitably have their biases, just like the Jagex mod for the Story competition!
If you get famous enough and leave behind only masterpieces in your lifetime, then maybe
Well, I have 0 social life, so I can no-life RS pretty efficiently anyway

Oh, you will have to learn them soon enough
Yes, and sometimes they'll tell me randomly that if a fire alarm sounded, it is in fact an E flat. I'm not like them in a sense that I'll have to intentionally try to work it out, while apparently they're automatically fed the information. Not every noise has a musical tone. Some notes are sort of in between and cannot be distinguished by the 12 tone system.
I just find the high notes of trumpet really hard and plus at the time I had braces...
I've never tried solving a Maths problem with music. But that's strange, because really I just enjoy the music instead, which is actually a far easier option than work!
Yeah, those times a rare. Nowadays I don't really compose any more until a piece really demands to be written down. I have no reason to write now. Before, I keep writing pieces dedicated to certain people - you get the image
Thanks for compliments! There are over critical people out there though who'll rate it 1 star! But then, as they say, "To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, and be nothing."
I have written loads (in fact, probably all) of not-masterpieces. I know I won't appear on the history of music as anyone of significance, but hey, doesn't mean I can't post videos of myself playing, or enjoy music, right?
Maybe they will think so in 100-200 years, and think you're well ahead of your time and it is a pity that you were born so early!
