Don't let the filesize fool you!

Yes, welcome back to TheNossinator's Master Music Class!

In this second installment the following topics are covered:

1. The Bass Clef and Notes in the Bass Clef
2. More Dots, Slurs and Ties
3. Rests
4. Ledger Lines
5. More Time Signatures
6. The Anacrusis

Thanks to everyone who supported the first movie, I hope you enjoy this one as well.

Special mention has to go to Tiredguy, who helped program the ActionScript at the end and the URL link.

At the end of the tutorial there is a list of topics that will be covered in future installments.

If you have any suggestions please leave them in a review. You never know where they might end up.

The movie itself is pretty self explanatory, so just sit back and enjoy. And hopefully learn something along the way!

"Nice continuation"

by: Aznime

This accurately covers the more complicated aspects of Music Theory and things you left out from the first one.
Interface is good, and I liked the quiz at the end. This was easy to learn from.
Some things I have to complain were the lack of hearing demos compared to the first one. It would be nice to include how each note sounds, and what each bar sounds like when played.
I have to also complain about the bad picture quality in some areas: for example, the bars in chapter 1 and in some parts of the quiz are missing a line, which makes it harder for the budding student to distinguish the notes and such.

"Very good summary."

date: March 16, 2008

Great summary and lesson of some basic and intermediate musical terms and theory.
As someone mentioned before, French Horn music is ALWAYS in treble clef, except for maybe some different keyed Horns. You're typical F/Bb horn will be treble.
Also, I'd suggest a Glossary, and maybe a "disclaimer" of sorts noting that you're using the European/British note terminology.

Author's Response:

Thanks.

The glossary isn't a bad idea, I might include it in the next one.

"still very good"

date: March 16, 2008

one thing I'd like to point out is that the most common trick I've seen to learn the note names on the treble staff lines is Every Good Boy Does Fine(it even made it into a general psychology book I have this year). Also, there are a few grammatical errors here and there, but nothing bad enough where you can't figure out what you're trying to say. I like that you had a quiz at the end, but as I said about the game before, the standard now is whole, half, quarter, eighth. and so on, so if someone reads a different theory book, they could get confused about that. Also, are you not going to cover Finale in your software review section? It isn't as popular as it used to be but it's still one of the most popular brands of music software, and is usually less expensive than Sibelius(though admittedly not as good or versatile). Overall, very good lesson once again. Maybe moving a little too fast for those who really are beginners, but I still thought it was good.

Author's Response:

Thanks for the review.

There are probably hundreds of ways to learn the names of notes, whichever you feel comfortable with.

I probably won't cover Finale, as Sibelius is the "better" software package and they're pretty similar. But if enough people want it, I suppose I could put it somewhere.

Thanks.
