Introduction to Transcribing Music 1. What Does it Mean to Transcribe Music? What I am talking about here is the process of working out how to play and/or write out a piece of music starting with just a recording of the piece - a commercially released CD perhaps. You will also hear classical musicians speak of "transcribing" to mean adapting a piece of music written for one instrument to be played on another. The effort involved in transcribing music from recordings varies enormously depending on the complexity of the music, how good you ear is and how detailed you want your transcription to be. By the way, "the dots" is an abbreviation meaning the written-out music, because of the visual appearance of written music as dots on a stave. 2. Often, it's because you want to play a tune but you don't have the dots for it, you only have a recording. Jazz musicians regard transcribing as an important educational method. There are also quite a number of professional transcribers around. 3. 4. First try to get hold of the dots!

Papier Musique - Les logiciels d'édition de partitions Retour au sommaire des dossiers Préambule : Si l'ordinateur est devenu un outil naturel pour le traitement de texte et la communication, force est de constater qu'il n'en est pas encore de même pour l'écriture de la musique. Entendons-nous tout de suite, il n'est pas question pour nous, site dédié au papier à musique, de priver le musicien du petit grattement de la plume sur le papier, ou de ce plaisir incommensurable consistant à lancer son crayon dans une spirale enivrante qui après de nombreuses circonvolutions donnera naissance à LA plus belle des clés de sol. L'ordinateur, cet outil - car il ne faut le voir que comme un outil - peut nous faciliter la vie sans pour autant nous faire renoncer à notre savoir-faire, nos convictions ou notre plaisir. Un logiciel d'édition de partitions... pour quoi faire ? Voyons maintenant ce que peut vous apporter un logiciel d'édition de partitions et à l'inverse, ce qu'il ne pourra jamais faire pour vous : Par où commencer ? Un logiciel pour débuter ?

Notational Alternatives: Beyond Finale and Sibelius “Finale or Sibelius?” is a question that composers love to ask other composers. It’s often taken as a given that if you write music professionally, you’re already using one of these popular notation software packages. This may be about to change—with the news of Sibelius’s development team being unceremoniously dumped by Avid and subsequently scooped up by Steinberg, we may have a third variable to add to that equation. ThinkMusic, another newcomer, promises an iPad app in the near future, but has already generated controversy for seeming to use Sibelius in its video mockup. In the meantime, there are a variety of other, lesser-known options for notation software already lurking out there. MuseScore: Open Source Upstart MuseScore started out in 2002 as a spinoff of MusE, an open source sequencer created by German developer and musician Werner Schweer. Another long-term advantage is MuseScore’s open source status, says Bonte: Screenshot of Open Goldberg Variations iPad app

mimicopy.com — Problems of Music Dictation — Home Ear training online and mobile | Pitchimprover sonicFit Sight singing is the ability to sing musical notation without the aid of an instrument. Sight singing is often called by the name sight reading, and includes the ability to audiate the notation, that is, to hear it in one’s head. Sight reading sometimes refers to the ability to play music notation proficiently on an instrument upon seeing it for the first time without the need to practice it. Unfortunately, this other meaning includes no assumption of aural ability, as the skills required are knowing which keys need to be pressed or other physical processes executed. The meaning of "sight reading" is contextual- if you are referring to aural skills, musicianship, or ear training, then the meaning assumes full aural comprehension of the material. The advanced sight reading generator above produces melodies in several time signatures, clefs, modes (major and minor) and keys. Other exercises At SonicFit, we advocate the use of solfege for sight reading.
