Dynamic Instrument
do you have any random instrument/ music facts?
i think it's fun to know some random facts about instruments and music and that it will latter become a big help. please tell me some random facts, i'm a flute/sax/ and piano player so any random facats about them will be very appreciated, but i like to know a little about other instruments, theory, etc.
For example, i found out the rule of thumb, when playing in an ensemble, that if there's unison, you usually have to play one dynamic lvl lower.
I also found the best way to warm up a flute is to blow hot air into it with all your fingers pressed down except your left pinky finger.
and how the best reed to use in marching band is a plastic reed
just please tell me random facts, i enjoy reading them.
like :
why does tone holes make a flute sound better?
why does wood clarinets sound better then platic ones?
and if you can get into GREAT GREAT GREAT detail , that would be very appreciated thankyou
oh and NO GUITAR FACTS!
Is ukulele considered a guitar?
If not. Did you know that the strings on a ukulele aren't in order from lowest to highest?

Song Dynamics Are Central To The Art Of Songwriting And Music
Song dynamics are central to the art of songwriting and music. Learn this songwriting craft so your song development goes to the next level.
What's the big deal you might ask? The answer usually is, without dynamics the song gets boring fast.
Great songs and music need to be a journey for the listener. Too much of anything doesn't work. It's like eating too much turkey dinner.
Its gets uncomfortable and the thought of more is the last thing on your mind. It's the same with music.
It's like pitching baseball. The pitcher who only throws one kind of pitch doesn't last long. If you don't give your listeners music with variations or dynamics, the listener gets bored.
They get bored and they go looking for some other pitcher, in your case another song.
Variety is what gives listeners satisfaction; it's the spice in music. It applies to all aspects of your song. For example,
1. What is the volume of the music or vocals during the chorus or verse of the song? How different are they?
2. How much do the notes in the melody rise and fall in different sections of the song?
3. How is the melody structured in each section of the song? Too much unique melody is hard for listeners to remember.
4. What kind of sectional differences are there between verses and choruses?
5. Where does the lyric phrase come in on the beat in the bar? Is it before or after the downbeat?
6. How are the various instruments attacked? Are there differences in verses, choruses and bridges?
7. How long are the notes held in each section? Are there variances between sections?
8. Are the vocals phrased differently between the sections?
The idea is to have your song sound like music and not noise. Listeners need softness to feel the swell to high volume in lines and verses.
They also need the swell or decay in individual words. Think of music as a journey of contrasts for the listener.
Dynamics can set the mood in your song or change the mood for your listener. It also gives the singer in your song something to work with.
A song needs to hold back or be soft in some places and let go in others. It's the lows that make the highs stand out more.
Listen to Celine Dion's songs. She can really belt out the vocals. But you'll find she also sings softly at times.
This contrast makes her power much more noticeable. Sometimes playing something softly draws more attention than if it were played at full volume.
All aspects of your song need to complement each other, so think about this as you're writing. Creating song dynamics will help your listener connect with your song because it will be a more enjoyable experience.
They will want more and that's good for you and them.
