Interesting read. I’ve been trying to work on my dynamics for the clarinet, and some of these tips seem like they’d transfer well. Particularly the bit about not overdoing it and finding a comfortable hand position. I guess no matter the instrument, the basics of good technique stay pret...
In the summer of 2013, a woman in British Columbia began hearing a loud, trumpet-like sound, and one morning she recorded it with her video camera and posted it to YouTube. While some questioned its authenticity, there have been other reports of a similar sound from Texas to Norway. Ther...
ScanScore is about to start working its magic. Once you click open, ScanScore begins to read the sheet music from the PDF file. After a short pause (the time it takes for ScanScore to read the file) it will be done. ScanScore will have scanned the PDF file and converted it into a...
Pitch depends on the frequency; in general, a rise in frequency causes a sensation of rising pitch. The ability to distinguish between two sounds that are close in frequency, however, decreases in the upper and lower parts of the audible frequency range. There is also variation from person to...
Who should I listen to, you ask? Some of those jazz history videos in the previous section should help, but here’s a short list to get you started, in no particular order:Louis Armstrong: Trumpet, Cornet, and Vocals Miles Davis: Trumpet John Coltrane: Tenor and Soprano Saxophone Cannon...
We think the piano is the best musical instrument to learn. Of course, we’re biased as pianists, but there are compelling reasons to pick up piano as your first musical instrument:#1: You can make amazing sounds from day 1Some instruments, like the violin or the trumpet, take skill ...
Most musicians start playing early, while in school. Interestingly, many Bassists started out playing other instruments. Since bass isn’t a glamorous instrument to most, young people tend to gravitate to flashier instruments like guitar or trumpet. Once they start playing in groups they become ...
4 scenes each on 2 opposing walls, and the remaining 2 scenes on the ceiling. The photographs above show the 8 scenes on opposing walls, to be read in order from bottom left to right, then top left to right, then the 2 scenes on the vaulted ceiling (the latter not in the photograph...
Every pitch a musical instrument plays has a core frequency measured in hertz (Hz), which can be likened to a speedometer reading for the waveform. Hertz measures how many times (i.e., the frequency) a wave completes an up-and-down cycle in one second. If the wave moves up and down...
In October 2021, before Scherr’s arrival, Hertz had trumpeted “an initial order” of 100,000 Teslas, saying that consumer interest in EVs was “skyrocket[ing]” and hiring the former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to pitch how it was “changing the game”. ...
