Musical trophies #1

How cool is this? We already know how time works in music. Which means we can combine duration and pitch to play any song we’d like. And because Color Music makes it easy to see all of these patterns, they jump out right before our eyes.

31Dec2009_BlogPic1_Eyes Of course, we have a few more patterns to look at—like chords and progressions. But with everything we’ve already seen, it’ll all be nice and easy. In fact, you’re getting so good these days that you probably deserve some type of award, right? Sure, the Grammies® and the AMA® ceremonies are still a little ways off. But in the meantime, one of these (cool) trophies should be good. So, take your pick … would you like design 1, 2, or 3?

Okay … so all of these are pretty cheesy. (Seriously, who designs these trophies?) But it’s also true that we’re getting really good at playing music. So take a minute to pat yourself on the back. Because we’ve come a long way. And watch out, because it only gets better from here….
