Re: The Easiest way to Sight read MUSIC?????

It is interesting that you mention that playing the notes written on the stave, all the instruments would sound the same. I think what you mean is that all the instruments would sound the same pitch. They would not sound the same, because even with our limited hearing capabilities, most of us can di...

Re: My performance in a virtual choir

Here are the lyrics. What is our hope in life and death? Christ alone, Christ alone What is our only confidence? That our souls to Him belong Who holds our days within His hand?

Re: Can you play your keyboard too loudly?

Fortissimo just isn’t enough for some people. To show just how ear-shatteringly bombastic some composers want their music played, they have been known to double, triple and even quadruple those fortes (And we thought fff meant as loud as you can possibly play). The decibel-climbing results have been...

Re: Can you play your keyboard too loudly?

Surprisingly, music that people think is going to be the most dangerous isn't necessarily the worst. In fact, classical music can be as damaging as heavy metal or rock. Jazz, Classical and Rock musicians all suffer from some hearing damage, because it is not the type of music that is any safer or mo...

Re: Can you play your keyboard too loudly?

Damage is often done when we are young and don't heed the warnings that we are given. Trouble is you cannot undo hearin...

Re: Can you play your keyboard too loudly?

So how does loud noise damage the ear? People with good hearing have tiny hair cells that line the inner ear and these transmit signals to the brain, which are interpreted as sound. Listening to loud music can flatten these hairs, and although they normally spring back into place, noise damage over...
