Thanks so much!
One thing making me *very* uncomfortable with releasing my music is the lack of a CC0 option. I'm not willing to release my music unless there is a definite way for me to revoke all my rights to my music, and make it available in the public domain.
I'm a piper. I'm not going to make any money off of this and frankly I don't want to. If someone wants to use my music I don't want them to have to do any formalities or jump through any hoops. I just want it available.
Could we put a CC0 option for releasing music?
Thanks for understanding!
All that being said, don't leave your instrument at school. Now I can't record anything!
Awesome, thanks everyone! This helps a lot!
What do terms like 6/8 and 4/4 actually mean in terms of composing music? When I read music for the pipes, I look at the 6/8 and the 4/4 and I know how it affects the sound of the music in context, but I don't know what it actually means. How does it affect how many notes are in a bar and whatnot?
What's your instrument? I don't know much theory at all (intervals and major/minor triads, that's about it) and I just wing it.
Bagpipes. I just need to know how to know when to switch bars pretty much, I have no idea how to get it from my head onto paper.
I don't know what intervals and major/minor triads are.
The biggest thing that has gotten in the way for me trying to compose with my instrument is that I don't understand music theory. My instrument doesn't use music theory, but you need a grasp of it to write with it. I don't understand beats in a bar and all that, and how all of it works. I can read sheet music no problem, but if someone asks me how to explain why something sounds the way it does, I wouldn't be able to. And that's again in part because of the sheet music for my instrument being read differently from sheet music for other instruments.
Could someone give me a guide for music theory as it relates to composition, specifically for 2/4, 6/8, and common time? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
