Weekly Music Theory by Akio
=====================

Hi guys, it's my first time updating this blog so be gentle.
Every week i would be doing update to brush up on the music knowledge you guys have
Videos will be posted by ah how (chee how).

C-Major

This week, the basic of C Major will be taught
C Major, in Chinese Instrument (including Harmonica) will mean to play the following notes :

1 2 3 4 | 5 6 7 i |

This is called a C-Major whereby the starting note will be a C (or in another words, 1).

Staccato

Next, Staccato. Please remember staccato is NOT 1/2 of a beat or anything you guys might think.
Staccato is simpily to play the note short and sweet.
I cant remember how a staccato note is read on the harmonica score.
Staccato can be Play by using your tongue (for those who don't use the tongue, please start practicing)

While playing the harmonica, use your tongue to gently block the airway (you lips) and withdrawing your tongue back to it's original position. (your tongue can move 10x faster than the speed of your lungs splitting 2 notes up). In doubt, please approach CCH (chee how) for advise.

That's all for this week. Practice well and Good Luck.

Akio.
