MUSICAL CONCEPTS.
Introduction.
It is important to understand that music is an art, but also, in a way, a science that requires complex technical aspects at certain times that impact on its aesthetic context.
In my years as a musician I have observed that in general, the scores are not well received by popular or empirical musicians. Since many of them learn to play an instrument or compose songs without knowing the theoretical-musical foundations. However, it is important to have these fundamentals and their application, since the scores are a fundamental tool in aspects such as:
• Effective communication. On many occasions, musical writing facilitates musical understanding among the members of a band and also helps us when we have to work with people we do not know or with whom we have not previously had rehearsal.
• The reading of chords and melodies favor the knowledge of new musical forms and help us to enrich our musical experience in a way that makes us better.
• Avoid memorizing musical pieces, especially to play in concerts and rehearsals, this is not necessarily good since memory is a useful tool for musicians.
• It allows us to acquire new musical knowledge through the analysis of musical successes in its form and structure so that they serve as references for our creations and interpretations.
• favors the preservation of music through written records so that they can be recovered in a tangible, orderly and reliable manner.
The purpose of this post is that we know each of the basic elements that make up a score, thus facilitating the understanding of written music. In the same way, to know the historical evolution of musical notation, from its most primitive forms to the precision and accuracy that it currently has.
