And while some of you are making music through the tried-and-true "let's see what that button does" method, there are a few of you who might be interested in composing music the old-fashioned way -- digitally producing paper-based music sheets. Whether you're writing music for the guitar, learning how to improvise jazz solos, or writing entire music scores, chances are that one of the pieces of open source software listed below can make the process a little easier.
Classical Music in the 21st Century Classical music is everywhere. If you find yourself enjoying random orchestral pieces that you hear in movies, or you have a secret desire to listen to a symphony but don't know where to start, don't feel embarrassed - you're not alone! This site is dedicated to providing a basic background in classical music for young people, mainly teenagers, who enjoy all types of music. Most teenagers listen primarily to popular music, and artists like the Black Eyed Peas and Lady Gaga dominate music media, leaving little room for classical music. Classical music is often thought to be outdated or elitist - given the average age at a classical music concert, this opinion seems valid. Sight-reading Caravaggio's Rest on the Flight into Egypt (1594–96) Terminology[edit] Sight-reading[edit] Authors in music literature commonly use the term "sight-reading" generically for "the ability to read and produce both instrumental and vocal music at first sight ... the conversion of musical information from sight to sound" (Udtaisuk 2005). Udtaisuk and some other authors prefer the use of the more specific terms "sight-playing" and "sight-singing" where applicable.

If you find them useful for your theory studies, you are welcome to use them, and if you find errors or have suggestions, I invite you to contact me.
List of jazz standards From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An A–Z list of jazz standards. This list is intended to be as comprehensive a list of jazz standards as possible, including those pop standards and film song classics which have been sung or performed in jazz on numerous occasions and are considered part of the jazz repertoire. For a chronological list of jazz standards with author details see the lists in the box on the right.
Tunebook With Sheet Music and MP3 Audio I have selected 20 tunes for this tunebook. Not all of them are Irish tunes, but they are all tunes that I have played in a contra dance band (playing second fiddle and guitar) and tunes that I like. I think that they are all quite suitable for the Irish or simple-system flute, whistle, or other melody instrument. I tried to choose a fairly even sampling of reels, hornpipes, jigs, and waltzes and airs. Chord (music) Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition "Promenade", is a piece showing an explicit chord progression.(Nattiez 1990, p. 218) Play In the medieval era, early Christian hymns featured organum (which used the simultaneous perfect intervals of a fourth, a fifth, and an octave[13]), with chord progressions and harmony an incidental result of the emphasis on melodic lines during the medieval and then Renaissance (15-17th centuries).[7][14] The Romantic period, the 19th century, featured increased chromaticism.[7] Composers began to use secondary dominants in the Baroque, and they became common in the Romantic period.[19] Many contemporary popular Western genres continue to rely on simple diatonic harmony, though far from universally:[20] notable exceptions include the music of film scores, which often use chromatic, atonal or post-tonal harmony, and modern jazz (especially circa 1960), in which chords may include up to seven notes (and occasionally more).[21]
