POST MUS103 UNIT 6,7 AND 8 DISCUSSIONS

UNIT 6 Major keys
and scales sound happy whereas minor keys and scales sound sad. If you
had to compose a piece of music (without words) to describe your life,
what scales would you use and why?Alternate discussion question:When
listening to music, which element is usually the most important to you,
and why? (Such as melody, rhythm, tempo, harmony, etc.) What usually
draws you to a piece of music you are hearing for the first time? Please
include an example(s) of a tune(s) that excite you, and specifically
why they affect you that way.UNIT 7There are 12 keys in Western music. If that is so why are there 15 key
signatures? How do we account for the other 3 key signatures. What are
those key signatures called? Also, can you find out what key your
favorite song is in? How did you figure out the key?UNIT 8We are approaching the end of our time in MUS103. Reflect on the class
and think about the Circle of 5ths. What connections have you made
between scales, keys, intervals, and the Circle of 5ths? How do these
connections aid composers in creating different styles of music and new
songs?
