By http://youtube.com/classicalmusicschool - The goal of this lesson series (this is lesson 5 or 3rd lesson of a series of lessons) is to provide illustrative low and high sound ABC to easy recognize and learn high and low tone of human hearing range of low octaves (bass) to 20,000 Hz (brilliance above 6000 KHz)
Try to accomplish a number of simple goals by watching and listening Lesson 3cB video of Classical Music ABC School for babies, infants, toddlers and any other age:
1. Follow melodic flow of the composition, performed by Pan flute, an ancient wind instrument, having simple pitch center for easy recognition of a melody by a baby
2. Refer to Lesson 3C (or Lesson 4) where lower end notes were played in the left speaker of a stereo field (octaves 3 and 4, labeled in Red 3, and Rose 4) of the onscreen keyboard. In Lesson 3B higher pitch notes were played in the right speaker of a stereo field - these are octaves 5 and 6, labeled in Green 5, and Yellow 6 of the full 88 keys onscreen keyboard.
3. Current Lesson 3C both lower notes and higher notes are combined to provide a natural panflute sound. However, compared to Lesson 3B, lower notes are decreased minus 4.5 dB (-4.5 decibel) in volume, so, there is a better balance between lower and higher tune. This is because lower bass notes have more energy, and therefore can dominate in a mix unless we control the low end. In the following lesson 6 we will show the excess of bass tone by using another instrument with bass sound to provide a phonics illustration of this phenomenon
4. In this lesson I laballed running notes with a four-color laballing to map an approximate position of notes score with their position on a piano keyboard of screen bottom.
However, plase note, that because of this video resolution not all five line of musical notation or staff are visible. Should you or your child remember Lesson 2 with all five lines visible, you can note it, and count how many lines are missing in the upper staff (labeled with a treble clef) and the lower staff (laballed with bass clef).
5. Keep attention of your child at a keyboard and staff for a surprise: a bird frying over to join the class.
6. Note yourself that we keep minimal onscreen activities, so baby attention is concentrated on hearing and following classical music and lesson tasks
7. Additionally, you can compare this lesson with Lesson 3A, where the same composition is played by Piano, and low and high notes are not channel separated.
8. Also you can encourage your baby to compare panflute low and higher notes of its' dynamic range with low voice of a man and higher pitch of voman vocal in Lesson 2
9. Try to remember the tune and sing it with your child/children
10. Try to listen till the end, but feel free to stop at any time
11. Recall where in Lesson 3A, a Lion was seating at about 30 sec time point of a video, his front left feet is at "Middle C" note of an 88 key piano. In the following lessons we will switch to a simpler 49 child keyboard, so, present one is an illustration of true middle position of a C4 Middle C note
12. Ask your child latter where Middle C is at this video, when there is no Lion to assist a child
Each task is surely optional and is a lesson-in-itself, come back to watch this video again and advance with your active dedicated music hearing
Presented soundtrack is a Panflute play of Robert Schumann's Revierie Scn 15.7 Childhood scenes or Träumerei.
Composition history:
The "Träumerei", No. 7 of the set, is one of the most famous piano pieces ever written, which has been performed in myriad forms and transcriptions. It has been the favourite encore of several great pianists, including Vladimir Horowitz. Melodic and deceptively simple, the piece has been described as "complex" in its harmonic structure
Robert Schumann (8 June 1810 -- 29 July 1856) was a German composer, aesthete and influential music critic. He is regarded as one of the greatest and most representative composers of the Romantic era. Schumann left the study of law to return to music, intending to pursue a career as a virtuoso pianist.
Panflute history:
The pan flute or pan pipe (a panflute or panpipes) is an ancient musical instrument based on the principle of the closed tube, consisting usually of five or more pipes of gradually increasing length (and, at times, girth). The pan flute has long been popular as a folk instrument, and is considered the first mouth organ, ancestor of both the pipe organ and the harmonica. The pan flute is named for its association with the rustic Greek god Pan. The pipes of the pan flute are typically made from bamboo or giant cane; other materials used include wood, plastic, and metal.
