Circle Of FIfths

Alrighty so I have talked about why and what need in order to make music BUT!!!!......in the blog before you see a treble and a bass clef with lines in it and see letters. They are a very important detail in music theory and here is why.
Each letter indicates a certain note or to better to understand “note” is pretty much how high or how low you need to sound in your voice and instrument. 

Now it’s time for the Big Boy to come out. By that I mean a simple chart that is more like your manual.



 The capital letters that are shown in the chart are called Majors. They are most commonly announced as Key of (insert letter you wish to use) for example “C Major or Key of C Major”. Now it is important that we have to get the Circle of fifths memorized. Before we can start making some music we have to know what Key we are going to use. Each key is different but has the same use of the letters in order in the previous pictures shown below.

Just like I said before in my previous blog about the screaming example that particular screaming could be in any of those keys or note if you would prefer since your yelling a high pitched noise.

Staff Paper

Alrighty then fellow bloggers the first thing you MUST know before ever writing notes on that sheet of paper is what kind of paper you need?
This Sheet of paper is called a “staff paper” you can either do this or you just draw the six lines on anything and anytime but this is most preferred to a musician that you want to write a song for. This paper would be more easily readable then a piece of napkin. Now since we know what paper this is what do we write on first? The first thing we need to do is decide what clef we are going to use. A clef is more like an indicator on how high or low you should sing, strum your guitar, and how pick/strum your bass. The most common clef are these bad boys here….
Treble Clef
Bass Clef



Keep in mind that these clefs aren't the same. Treble clef is mostly for people who sing high and Bass clef is for people that sing low.
Now since we know what are they and how they look like where do we put them? Where? And how? Do we put them? This picture will show you exactly how its suppose to look.

The next question you’ll ask yourself is that you now know what you need and what needs to be on that paper so what’s next? The answer to that is to know what each of those spaces mean or what needs to be drawn in there. I really hope you know your alphabet because we are going to need A, B, C, D, E, F and G but where do we put them or in what order? This picture will help you where to put them at.

Introduction

Hello dear viewers my name is Kevin Ramirez
               
I will talking about a little bit by bit about music theory here and there and ask why this is important? Why indeed? Well the answer is simply. 

TO CREATE MUSIC!! OF COURSE. 


We need to learn some basic music theory in order to read music sheets or compose music of our own. Think of how much money that is being put into that piece of paper just to read so anyone can go out there and learn the song that YOU! Yes YOU! Created. 

We may not know it but music theory is everywhere. The way we speak, the way we communicate
with one another, the tones in our voice of how low or high they are and how to play an instrument. 
One example you’re across a street and trying to get someone’s attention but they don’t hear. What
do you do? You yell of course but the way in how music theory works is that you’re yelling is
somewhere in that sheet of paper as in you’re doing a music video. I for one didn't knew what music
theory was until I toke a class in high school and oh man….I was so lost and didn't knew what my
teacher was talking about. He broke it down for anyone to start to learn the basic and show how
other musicians use this music theory or “circle of fifths” that I will show you on my upcoming blogs.

              

 That s all for my introduction.
