Welcome to my second project I’m now studying at Bradford college, And for this project I’m learning how to compose my own music by arranging chords to create bars that help to create a composition which I will then add to moving atmospheric images and study the difference music adds to TV\/Media and why it is important and what effects it creates for the consumers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far I’ve learnt about different chords and how they effect a whole bar in a composition. My tutor introduced me to different chords we can implement into our compositions, the first note he mentioned was a semibreve which is a full note, which counts for a total of four beats when played on a piano. The second note they introduced to me was a Minim which is known as a half note, a Minim is a note having the time value of two crotchets or half a semibreve meaning it played for two beats when played on a piano, each note was demonstrated by my tutor on a piano so it was easier to understand. The next note that is explained is a crotchet, which is considered a quarter note which lands on every beat, and has one beat count, a big contrast to a semibreve. And the final note is a quaver, which is a half note of a crotchet, accompanied with tail, this note when joined with another quaver creates two fast beats which I currently find hard to keep in time with, but with enough practice when I start composing my own composition, this will change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I researched these chords after the lesson because taking that much information at once is hard to digest, and knowing myself and how I learn, I often need to review things over and over to fully grasp the concept on what I’m trying to learn. One of the main resources that helps me to understand things I may not fully grasp is YouTube, typically simply laid out videos that explain the information in a broken down easy way, is very effective and memorable for me if I keep this knowledge in mind and review it every so often. I utilize YouTube as much as I can and these are the videos that helped me to understand these notes a lot easier so I could write about them in a lot more context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
