5-Star Review: "The novel is multidimensional. There are several plot elements working simultaneously that the author handles with skill. The murder of his friend and the personal relationship between Jon and his lady friend, a rape victim, add depth to the novel. The story shifts between the current investigation and his previous, very dangerous, actions in Lebanon as a CIA operative."

RHYTHM IN MUSIC (Continued)

Creative Music Composing
Self-Teaching Manual

Self-Teaching Manual

By Paul Rodricks

Have you ever felt the urge to write your own songs? 
To compose your own lyrics and melody?
Are you a lyricist wishing to set music to your lyrics? 
Or a music composer desirous of writing the lyrics to
your music? Or a music lover and hobbyist wondering
how songs are crafted? 

If so, Creative Music Composing 
is just the right practical
self-teaching manual for you. Because Songwriting has
never been made so easy and simple.

The Manual  covers all the music aspects of Writing Melodies– melody notes, tonality of scales and harmony in chord progressions and rhythm. You begin from learning to create simple melodies to composing complete performing versions of songs by using the Digital Numbering System, the Solfeggio (do-re-mi) and ABCDEFG notation methods. 

Become a successful Songwriter.  Compose your
own Lyrics and Music to styles such as Pop, Rock,
Blues, Country, R&B, Jazz, Gospel and others.


Read here the Preview of the Section 3 from Creative Music Composing by Paul Rodricks:

Section 3

“Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you’ll find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body.”
 – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

RHYTHM IN MUSIC (Continued)


    Examples of changing from Simple to Compound Time.
    Fig. 26 - Changing Simple to Compound Time


     In 6/8 time signature, the eight note (half of the common quarter note) receives one beat and there are six beats to a measure.
     
Fig.  27 - The 6/8 Time Signature. The number below the note indicates the number of beats per note.

              Beats:             3    3       1   1   1    2      1              6

     Music Note Values & Rhythm              

    Fig. 28 – Rhythmic Divisions of the Music Notes:


     We shall now go into a detailed study of the rhythmic values of the musical notes.

     You can see from the three examples of different Time Signatures shown below {Figs.28(a) 29, 29(a) & 29(b), the changing  rhythmic values of the common musical note against the corresponding number of beats each receives for the duration of the note, including a quarter-note rest period in the fourth bar of the second example (Fig. 29(a)}:

    Fig.28(a) - Illustrating the Common Notes Timing:
