Journal Theory Tab
Question 2 You have been working with Hook theory textbook, the Hook pad, videos, and even the dictation. Let's focus on the Theory Tab (Dictation) for this journal.
a. Select several of your favorite songs and see if it is analyzed on the Dictation search engine.
b. Play your selection in video mode, and play your selection in piano mode. Did you notice the difference between the video version (actual recording) and the leaner/simpler piano version?
c. The melody line has details of rhythm that can be manipulated on the Hook pad "Duration" tab/key on the left top side of the screen. The length/duration/rhythm combined with the pitches being sounded creates an effective melodic theme that is pleasing to listen to over and over.
d. Select another favorite song and see how it is analyzed on Theory Tab. Compare both analyses and see if there are similar chord progressions or similar melody patterns or even rhythmic patterns.
e. Did you discover anything new? I think identifying patterns in music is meaningful and fun to do.
