Questions and Answers

1. What is important in music lessons?
The student and teacher should have a rapport with each other. It is very important that the teacher teaches note reading, fingering, counting, music theory, and ear training. All these are important basics. Unfortunately, not all teachers teach these things.

2. What make music sound scary?
Most scary music is in a minor key. The next step to making music sound scary is to make sudden changes in the dynamics of the music. Also unusual instruments can be used. Create unfamiliar sounds. This confuses our senses and makes us 'scared'.

Something Musical to do: Write lyrics that would fit the Thanksgiving theme. The lyrics should be sung to a tune everyone know such as, "Mary Had A Little Lamb" or "Row, Row, Row Your Boat". Submit your lyrics to: Catherines.Music.Notes@gmail.com

During the month of November I'll post some of your lyrics on my blog.
