I, in my thirst to learn more, began learning music theory on my own, purchasing my own instrument. Through my newfound knowledge of music, it allowed me to express my emotions more clearly without speech, whether it be minor keys for melancholy moments, or major keys for jovial occasions. Of course, I…

The French horn has a brassier sound than a flugelhorn. The main visual difference between a flugelhorn and a French horn is the rounder shape of the latter instrument. A flugelhorn looks like a large trumpet; the french horn does not. Sound wise, however, the two instruments do share some similarities. It takes some extra study to figure out the differences. Range The flugelhorn has the range of a typical trumpet, sounding from G# below middle C to three octaves above middle C. While the…

Music and Spatial Task Performance: A Causal Relationship A Summary, by Michelle Zeltsman Is music important to spatial task performance? This is a question that’s only partly answered, as we know that correlations between musical cognition and spatial reasoning exist. Yet, what relationship does it share? The focus on this paper is on the testing whether music and spatial task performance is causally related. This topic provides useful information due to the way we learn through and with music…

mathematics involves early connections with music and the basic physics of sound. Mathematics is present in the natural occurrence of the ratios and intervals found in music and modern tuning systems. As people age, their hearing becomes dull and require change in the music ratio and interval to hear the same tune as when young. In like manner, the interval increases until a perfect pitch is heard. In this paper we will examine both the mathematics and music background for these ideas. We will…
