♦Mod on GFH.SE

I have a wide range of interests, including music, history, and math. I have been playing music for three of four years now and play the cornet, recorder, and piano. 100% of the music on my computer is classical, so you should know what genres I prefer ;). I enjoy studying any history and researching my genealogy. American English is my first language, pero tambien hablo Español. I am also currently taking Calculus 1.

If you are interested in or are an avid genealogist, please consider joining the below site:

4h	comment	What would be the best songS regarding apprehensive emotions? Per the FAQ, questions eliciting shopping recommendations are off-topic.
1d	comment	Theory of Major and Minor Chord Sounds The fifth is still in the same place relative to the root, regardless of the third.
May 22	comment	Few Questions on Counterpoint in the Tradition of Johan Fux This should possibly be split up into separate questions.
May 21	comment	Ambidextrous instruments Not all, but if you look at the barrel of a recorder, the holes are not in a straight line. They are aligned on two curves, one for each hand (see the alto in this image). The curves are larger for the larger recorders. The alto, which never has keys is difficult to play with the hands switched unless you have unusually large hands, which few people do.
May 21	comment	Ambidextrous instruments Only higher pitched recorders (soprano and up, possibly alto) can be played with the right hand on top. Try playing a tenor or a bass with your right on top. Impossible
May 21	comment	Comfortable notes in a key I know that. The OP seemed more interested in modern music and not a lot of songs these days use that cadence. It's mostly hymns and musicals.
May 21	comment	Comfortable notes in a key Sorry, I was talking about the plagal cadence
May 20	comment	Figuring out the difference between major and relative minor scales? What pieces did you look at? For example, take a look at the second or fourth movements of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. Although the fourth is an anacrusis, the next measure stars with a D while the signature is G. Look at King Cotton. This is also fairly common in hymns. By common, I mean about 10-25%.
May 20	comment	Comfortable notes in a key @Tim I would have included that in the answer, but I don't think that's the type of cadence the OP is looking for.
May 20	comment	Figuring out the difference between major and relative minor scales? "Songs in a key will use the same chords whether they are in maj. or relative min." No, if a song is in C, for example, the relative minor (Am) will not involve the same chords. With the same chords, the tonic is still on C, not A.
May 20	comment	Figuring out the difference between major and relative minor scales? Pieces often start on the dominant, not always the tonic. They end on the tonic 99.99% of the time.
May 20	comment	Accidentals in First Species Counterpoint Don't worry, the limit's 30 000 characters, almost six times the length of the answer. :P
May 19	comment	Confusing passage from The Study of Counterpoint A question can't be a duplicate of a comment. Comments are, by definition, temporary.
May 19	comment	Sound spectrum to notes software Should this question be CW?
May 19	comment	Comfortable notes in a key Yes, it has various names, also including "standard cadence".
May 17	comment	What do I need to study Bach chorales? Per the FAQ, questions eliciting recommendations are off-topic.
May 17	comment	Why is the recorder a good instrument to start with? +1 for "easy to play badly"
May 17	comment	Why is the recorder a good instrument to start with? With lower recorders, you can't just twist them to make them playable the other way around. There is no way I could possibly play my tenor with my right hand on top.
May 16	comment	Learn music professionally, not classical and not jazz? Most pop-like genres (e.g., rock, hip-hop, etc.) came from jazz. Knowing how to play jazz can be very helpful when playing those genres.
