How to read music notation: a comprehensive analysis from basics to practice
The staff is one of the basic tools for music learning, and "tune" is the key to understanding music style and performance. This article will combine the popular music topics on the Internet in the past 10 days, and use structured analysis to quickly determine the tonality through the staff, as well as practical tips and data analysis.
1. The core elements of the tonality of the staff
Judging tonality mainly relies on two core elements:key signatureandVocalist. The key signature determines the key through the number and position of sharps and flats, and the tonic is the starting note of the mode.
| key signature type | Number of rising and falling numbers | Common tonality |
|---|---|---|
| No rising or falling numbers | 0 | C major or a minor |
| sharp tone | 1-7 pieces | G, D, A, E, B, #F, #C major |
| Flat tone | 1-7 pieces | F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb major |
2. Hot topic correlation: pain points in music learning in the past 10 days
According to the popularity of discussions on the entire Internet, the following are common questions recently raised by music learners about "tonal judgment":
| Ranking | question | frequency of occurrence |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | How to quickly memorize the key corresponding to the key signature? | 38% |
| 2 | The difference between minor and major keys on the staff | 25% |
| 3 | Does temporary rising and falling sign affect tonality judgment? | 18% |
3. Five-step method for practical judgment of tonality
Step 1:Observe the key signature——Confirm the number of sharps and flats (for example, 2 sharps is D major).
Step 2:Positioning the tonic——The tonic of major is the key note (for example, the tonic of D major is Re).
Step 3:verify minor tune——The minor third below the tonic is a relative minor (for example, D major corresponds to b minor).
Step 4:analyze melody——Pay attention to the beginning and ending notes and the stable pitch level.
Step 5:Check the harmony-Chord progressions often revolve around the main chord.
4. Checklist for tonality judgment (sharp tone as an example)
| Number of upgrades | key signature position | major key | relationship ditty |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fifth line (Fa) | G major | e minor |
| 2 | The third room, the fifth line (Fa, Do) | D major | b minor |
| 3 | The fourth line, the third room, the fifth line (Fa, Do, Sol) | A major | #f minor |
5. Analysis of recent popular cases
Piano score analysis of Jay Chou's new song "The Greatest Work":
1. Key signature: 5 sharps (B major)
2. Actual key: judging from the first and last notes and chords of the melody, it is #g minor (the relative minor of B major)
3. Features: Extensive use of temporary sharps to create a chromatic effect.
6. Summary and practice suggestions
1. Daily practice: randomly select music scores to quickly determine the key.
2. Listening assistance: train auditory memory combined with tonal colors.
3. Tool recommendation: Use visual tools such as “Tune Signature Dial” to assist learning.
Through systematic study and practice, the tonality judgment of the staff will gradually become an instinctive reaction. It is recommended to conduct practical analysis in conjunction with recent popular tracks (such as the piano version of "The Lonely Warrior") for better results.
