Understanding the Basics of Music Theory
Music theory is like the grammar of music. It's the set of guidelines that musicians use to understand what they hear and what they play. Let's explore some basic concepts:
- Notes: The building blocks of music. Each note has a specific pitch and name.
- Scales: An organized sequence of notes, ascending or descending.
- Chords: Two or more notes played together.
- Harmony: The combination of different musical notes played or sung simultaneously.
