NMD 201 week8

After study this class, we know what is the MIDI (Music Instruments Digital Interface).  According to browse some MIDI files, i know hoe does it looks like and then i can work on my music creativity by using Sibelius.  Firstly, we need create a new file to add some instruments, after that add to score by stype. This week we learn the main elements of music which are Meldy, Rythm, Harmony and Timbre. Meldy is a serious of single tones and the range of meldy is the distance between its lowest and highest. Rythm has different interrelated aspects which includes beat, meter, accent, syncopation and tempo. Harmony refers to the way that how chords follow with others. Timbre is the color of music. It shows the different sounds from different musical instruments. After the basic knowledge study, we use Sileblius to create different notes with different instruments.
