Aural perception-
Intervals-an interval is the difference between two pitches. An interval may be described as horizontal, linear, or melodic if it refers to successively sounding tones, such as two adjacent pitches in a melody, and vertical or harmonic if it pertains to simultaneously sounding tones, such as in a chord.Intervals involve major,minor,perfect,augmented,diminished,simple and compound chords.

Major/minor-
This is a major 2nd because it has 3 semi-tones and its a different pitch B to C
This is a minor 2nd because it has 2 semi-tones and it has different pitch one is a c to d flat
This is a perfect 4th has 6 semi-tones it can be any pitch from any other scale it will always have 6 semi-tones.In this scale the semi-tones are c,c#,d,e#,e,f or D to G
Augmented and diminished:
Diminished its something that is less than a normal semit-tone for example:
Diminished its something that is less than a normal semit-tone for example:
this is a dimished octave it contains 12 semi-tones c to Bb its different than a normal octave because its a semi-tone less than a perfect 8th that is 13 semi-tones
augmented is something more than a tone
Perfect:
this is a perfect 4th that has 4 semi-tones its called perfect because it will always have the same semitones in an interval
This is an example of what perfect intervals are
Simple and compound:
compound intervals are larger than an octave meaning that it has more than eights semitones nine, tenth and elevenths are some exaples of compound intervals.
simple intervals are smaller than compounds such as octaves thirds and fiths are simple intervals examples.
for example:
compound intervals are larger than an octave meaning that it has more than eights semitones nine, tenth and elevenths are some exaples of compound intervals.
simple intervals are smaller than compounds such as octaves thirds and fiths are simple intervals examples.

Pitches:
Pitch is how high or low a particular note is in each instrument.
Pitch is how high or low a particular note is in each instrument.
semitones
semitones are half steps for example:A# C# D# F# G# semitones are what makes a interval a minor
semitones are half steps for example:A# C# D# F# G# semitones are what makes a interval a minor
minor 2nd
tones:
tones are steps to an interval for example: A B C D E F G they make an interval major
tones are steps to an interval for example: A B C D E F G they make an interval major
Degrees of a scale:
each note of a scale its called a scale degree and each scale degree has different names for example:tonic mediant and dominant .the names relate to their function and position of each other on the scale.for example:

chord and chord progressions-
chord progressions uses letters such as i and v. The letters are numbers of how many notes are in a scale
chord progressions uses letters such as i and v. The letters are numbers of how many notes are in a scale
This music score shows the chord progressions that the song plays.Some chords on this music score are Eb minor the third (iii) of a D scale the notes are g e and b.Theres also Fminor the fourth (iv) chord that has c g and b of the D scale.The last two chords that i addentified are B minor chord (vii) that has d b f as notes and the Db chord (ii) add 2.
the chords that I analysed for this score are c*minor (VI) broken chord that involves the notes of c* e and g*. c* minor chord
this a b* chord in a c*minor
Simple and complex rhythms-
rythm is the way where pitches are representive in a relation to time.
rythm is the way where pitches are representive in a relation to time.
in rythms notation the semibrive represents 4 beats of silence in a common time
a minim represents 2 beats of silence in a common time
a crotchet has 1 beats in a silence common time
dotted note adds half of a note thats already there
tripplets are represented a 3 notes that normally play 2
harmony and tonality:
key signatures is a note that represents all the pitchs
key signatures is a note that represents all the pitchs
c major is the most comon signature thats used in the music industry
in every major keys there are minor keys as well
There are different notation scores some notation scores have more than one treble clefs others have only one because theres is more than one instrument in just one score this is a musical standard notation score
This score is made for 3 instruments the standard notation is for the piano,the tabs are for the guitar and the lyrics are for the vocalist.The last note for this score on the bass clef is g the same on treble clef.The highest note on the bass clef is f the same on the treble clef.Each piano has a different ends of keys mostly grand pianos ends at the lowest note of an A and the highest note starts on c. Some music sheets say how many beats per crotchet there is for the whole song.
This standard notation is another version from the main soundtrack because you can see the way the notation is written such as there is a a lot of bass clef.There is a bass clef that starts on a bass clef
Georgie fame made a song called pass me by that has a signature of a 11/8 section are in 4/4.11/8 time signature is counted like this [123-123-123-12][123-123-123-12] its a unique time signature it sounds like blues for this song.11 crotchets and 8 quavers.This time signature is used in blues
Two Hearts In 3/4 Time - The Avalanches is in a 3/4 time signature.3/4 it is usually a waltz time signature because it has a ballad rhythm so other songs that use 3/4 have always a slow rhythm than any other songs.3 crotchets and 4 quavers.Count them as {123-123-123-123}.This turns into a ballad after 00.26.
2/4 time signature-The second movement of Beethoven's 7th symphony.2/4 songs are usually mistaken by a 4/4 time signature the difference between this two are {12-12-12-12} for 2/4 and 4/4 is{1234-1234} .2/4 4 quaversand 2 crotchets.4/4 4 crotchets and 4 quavers.You can hear the violins play the tempo.This time signature is mostly used in classical songs.
3/4 means that there is 3 crotchets in a beat.In this score there's a few parts when the time signature changes from 3-4 to 2-4 and the notes that its played in the 2/4 time signature are D* C*and F* on the treble clef.On the bass clef is B major chord and A* octave,then it goes straight back to a 3/4 time signature.The main time signature that's been used more times than others are 4/4.3/4 is mainly used on pop songs.As you can see the 3/4 and 2/4 time signature are both different from each other 3/4 is a more ballad type of style than 2/4.It shows on the soundtracks how different they are 2/4 is good for pop and classical songs and 3/4 its better used in a ballad or waltz style.
this score shows a few chords that are Db minor and f minor
