If I can imitate it, I can make it myself. it’s a lot of people that, that love to sing melodies, and of course they know melodies from Ariana Grande, and then they’ll sing a melody or from Taylor Swift or from Justin Bieber, from the Beatles or or from any kind of, even classical composer. And they’ll be like, well, if I can whistle this melody, I can sing this melody, then I, I can also create it myself. Right? This is a logical way of, of thinking sometimes that where we say, well, I, I can sing this melody so I can also make this melody.
And that’s, that’s where there is, I, I feel a really big misunderstanding. one needs to understand what one hears in order to create something similarly. Great. So, and this is like another thing I want to say. If you note, if you know where the note is placed, you can change the position of the note, but if you don’t know where it is, you can’t change it. So this is the same for grammar as we know it.
Maybe the people will believe me more if they be like, well, if I understand grammar, I can actually change the construction of the sentence. But it’s the same with I have a three and a half year old, toddler Ana. She’s, she’s amazing and she knows how to say things in kind of one straight way, but she won’t be able to change the order and realize whether that’s still correct or not. So this is kind of with music, musical grammar as a musical theory, and we also call it gio.
is is difficult. It’s complex. And this is, this is why I want to, to somewhat try to simplify it for you today. And if you simplify the understanding of musical, so ve in theory in your own head, you’ll be able to listen to music differently. That’s, that’s subjective of today.
