Music notation is really useful, and most musicians are so used to it we don't give it a second thought anymore, but, like, it's kinda weird, right? It's a bunch of dots and lines and somehow those represent sounds, and the way they're shaped and how we arrange them can let us communicate some incredibly complicated musical ideas. Which is awesome, but why these shapes? How did we get here? And why do older manuscripts look so weird, with their square notes and only four lines? • Patreon: / 12tonevideos • Mailing List: http://eepurl.com/bCTDaj • Facebook: / 12tonevideos • Twitter: / 12tonevideos • Email: [email protected] • Next: • Forte Numbers: A Name For Every Chord • Last: • Building Blocks: What's A Scale? • Notation video: • Building Blocks: Writing Music Down • Intervals video: • Building Blocks: How Notes Relate • Poetic Meter video: • A Brief Discussion Of Poetic Meter • Tuning video: • The Secret Life Of A Tuner • Huge thanks to our gold-level Patreon supporters: • Ron Jones • Jill Jones • Susan Jones • Howard Levine • Elaine Pratt • Ken Arnold • And thanks as well to Henry Reich, José N., Logan Jones, Jdominioni, Jody, Eugene Bulkin, and Yan Han!
