Beaming in different time signatures My issue is "that they be perceived as a single [...] phrase." |

Why do minor keys sound “sad”? +1: Great answer, sensible musically and scientifically. |

Beaming in different time signatures 6/8 is confusing as heck. It IS theoretically possible for it to be meant as six beats, but I've never, ever seen it; literally almost all of the time, 6/8 is two compound beats. Look into Orff Time Signatures for an interesting perspective on this. |

Beaming in different time signatures -1: Notes should be beamed based on metric properties, not based on musical ideas. Large-scale slur markings can convey that, but beaming based on musical motive is very nonstandard and would be extremely confusing to most performers. |

Software that slows down music to help in transcribing. One of the great features of Transcribe: you can select a section of audio and it will display a keyboard with a graph of how much each pitch is present in the sound. This is especially helpful for working out complex jazz chord voicings if you're trying to transcribe a big band piece. |

Are Hanon exercises mindless unmusical repetiton or a great way to develop finger strength and dexterity? @Alex Basson: The answer is absolutely yes to both! |

What are the most effective ear training methods ? ...But we look at our keyboards when LEARNING to type. It's very important at the beginning. We just make sure we're not using that as a crutch, only as a first step. Using familiar tunes for interval recognition is a GREAT trick for beginners--just wean yourself off of it as you advance! |
