Haha I can't believe you did that, I'd forgotten all about it. But it was interesting to read so...w00t.

do you really learn that much in music theory?

cara_beara August 20 2005, 00:43:25 UTC

It depends on what type of brain you have. Literally. Ask Ingram. Either way, if you want to do music it will deffinately help you.

you are an applied genius. Good job.

I was so upset. I was trying to explain this part in Aida that was so musically well done, it made me cry, but no one could understand it because they didn't take AP Music theory. Then I realized, Hey! Ben would understand this. So here it is.

Belters usually end big songs on the fifth scale degree, since, even though the first scale degree up the octave would be more impressive, it would be too high. Well, this girl, Aida, was screaming the fifth scale degree, with tears of passion running down her face, and then, suddenly, she hit the first scale degree, a note that seemingly did not exist, and held it. People started clapping before she ended the note; I burst out into tears.

I am now purged of my music theory geekiness. Well, wait, I'm not, but you know.
