As a fan of Hip-hop music, I am not surprised to hear reoccurring beats in music because artists have a tendency to sample various soundbites and sounds. However, today I was surprised to learn about that many hit songs utilized the four-chord progression. I thought artists made original beats, but I assume that everything in music is influenced by earlier origins.
Today, I also learned that playing the right and left hand simultaneously on a piano is not an easy task, nor reading sheet music. Despite being able to read and decipher the notes that are in Swans on the Lake, my left and right hand still struggle to play with each other.
In the book, How Music Works, I learned what it means to be pitch perfect, and I found it interesting to learn that Mandarin is a language where vocal inflection is crucial. How Music Works, also taught me it is crucial that music is standardized.
