Choose A Musical Direction

Music is your representative. When you send your representative out, you want it to make a good impression. Your music says a lot about you; who you are, what you stand for. That said, the first thing you should consider about your music is what you are going to do with it...

What is a Genre?

So we asked, what in the world is a "genre?" This is one of the strangest terms. What is it and how is it applied to music?

Enharmonic is the identical tone or chord included within a different key or scale.

Chromatic Intervals

A chromatic interval is described as the number of steps between tones, a step being the distance of pitch from one tone of the scale to the next or the distance between two notes of a scale and on the staff. The interval (third, fifth, octave, etc) is merely a method of separating and identifying that distance of tones or chords between the different keys

Clefs

A descriptive listing of all Clefs including illustrations. A clef is placed at the beginning of the first measure of the staff indicating the pitch of the instrument for which the music is written.
