Bubble music

A derisory term used by professional violinists, cellists, etc. to describe the string background parts in pop music, which tend to consist mostly of long held notes. There are so many whole notes that the score looks like it's covered with bubbles.

Musical Edging

When you ascend the musical scale playing every correct tone only to fuck up the last note. This removes all pleasure from the situation and completely drains the room. The note is never resolved thus satisfaction is never gained.
Last night my homies and I were playing “Stack Tower Up 3D Builder Simulator Don’t Crash” on the switch and experienced the most heinous musical edging. Every time we’d reach the seventh note of the scale we could never reach the eighth. Serious musical blue balls.

Music theory

The study of musical possibilities and historical practices involving musical notation and interpretation (essential for understanding the rest of the course) in a musicological approach.

- Music theory can be a tool box, a rule book (that can be broken), or a guideline for composers to help them develop their own ideas of composing their pieces of all genres with chord progressions, tonal & atonal harmony, melodic structuring and many more methods.

- Many modern contemporary composers have broken many of the common practice period composing rules; Claude Debussy, Igor Stravinsky & Ivan Shostakovich are notable examples.

- Jazz music theory, or known as jazz harmony uses similar approaches to Western harmony but often use harmonies that are often played within the genre with additional tension using 9th, 11th, and 13th chords with incorporated usages of modes, and dissonant chords (augmented & diminished chords) and chord progressions that aren’t conforming to traditional music theory.

- There are prominent theorists on YouTube such as Adam Neely, David Bruce, 8-Bit Music Theory, etc. that do analyses and compose pieces using methods of music theory as they explain viewers regardless of their knowledge input of theory.
“I wouldn’t say that music theory is a mandate, but it’s highly recommended if you’re willing to pursue in a musical career.”
