What's the difference between “modal music” and “tonal music”? What substitutes for common-practice functional harmony in modal music? And how different are ancient modal music, church modal music and modern modal music from each other? |

What online resources should I use to learn harmony and musical analysis? Here's a related question. It seems IMSLP has many freely available treatises on harmony. |

Appreciating the music of J. S. Bach Why the downvote? I think this is an interesting question. |

Where can I find one-handed piano pieces? For instance. |

Where can I find one-handed piano pieces? Maybe you are not relaxed enough when you sit at the piano to play. Or you play for too long and strain yourself unconsciously. Anyway, add your level in the OP so that people have an idea as to what they can advise you. Also, try a search because I think someone had a similar question. |

Where can I find one-handed piano pieces? Really, you must have very poor technique if you had an injury while playing piano. Do you learn with a teacher or on your own? Concerning your request for left hand pieces, what's your level? |

What exactly does a 3 mean over a quarter note and an 8th note? That's right. A way to train it is to subdivide the time in 6 parts. The triplet notes take 2 beats each, the ordinary eight notes take 3 each. |

Lead sheets / fake sheets without score I'm sure lilypond could be tweaked sufficiently to get this kind of chord charts. |

Why is it so hard to count beats and play at the same time? Have you tried slowing down the pace extremely? It's pretty normal that you are having trouble as a beginner. I had a lot of trouble myself. I remember the teacher asking me why I was fighting with the metronome. :D The only trick is to play really slowly. Hands separate first. Make sure you know both hands separately. You should be able to play them blindfolded even. |

How to select a key-signature for a song I think reading 6 sharps is pretty easy, think about it this way: only one note does not have a sharp. It's precisely the keys which have 3 or 4 sharps/flats I find most difficult. Especially minor keys which get extra alterations. Also agreed with Matthew about E Major being relatively easy to play on the keyboard as compared to C Major for instance. Though that would also depend on the intrinsic difficulty of the piece. |

How high from the ground should the keyboard from a piano be? So if I put the piano on a table and just heighten my seat so that my arms are parallel to the floor, it should be OK then? |

I'm looking to build a basic repertoire of Brazilian music. Which songs would you recommend I start with? Add to the mix another tune: Aquarela do Brasil by Ary Barroso. |

What's the term for the intervals between notes within a scale that produces a chord @Monica: A tritone consists of three tones, which would be about two minor thirds (except for comma's). Two major thirds amounts to an augmented fifth or a minor sixth. |
