Musical Scales, Properties of Music and Musical Instruments (Distance Learning)

This lesson explains how music cognition is related with the structure of music in its taxonomy and cerebral interpretation. The discrimination of instruments, pitches and harmonics for musical sounds leads to the creation of semantics and semiotics for the various scales used in music composition. Scales, Intervals, Alterations, Note Durations, Rhythmic content, Dynamics and Rests, are some of the axes for developing music activity through the centuries.

Once more, the English speaking students are incorporated with the Greek speaking class, or they may visit the instructor’s office. In this laboratory lesson, they are introduced with the software and hardware that is used for manipulating computer oriented musical composition. They are also shown how computer plug-ins manipulate musical synthesis and performance.
