FAQQuestions about music:
What are the five lines and five spaces called? In music, this is called a staff. It is what most musicians write their music on for other musicians to read and perform. Measyres are a way of breaking down music into easy to read patterns so beginning and advanced musicians can more accurately perform the music they are given. What is the best kind of music? The best kind of music is music you can enjoy and share with others. Whether it is a favorite CD, a favorite song to sing, a favorite song to play on an instrument, or a favorite song you wrote, the best kind of music is shared with other people. Why do I have to get dressed up for a concert? You should look your best when presenting something to other people. The better you look, the better you feel about yourself and about the people around you. When you feel good you are more relaxed and capable of concentrating on the music and making the best sound you can. What is the difference between a tuba player and a large pizza? A tuba player can't feed a family of four. How much does the average tuba weigh? On average, tubas weigh about 25 - 30 pounds, but it all depends on what kind of tuba you have. How can I practice at home the best? The best thing you can do at home is to practice long tones, playing and holding out a note for as long as you can. This way you can keep a steady sound, constant air pressure, and can work on listening to see if your sound is "quality" or not.
