I'm trying to improve my musicianship since I never really learned much about music theory except in school. I struggled very much with the circle of fiths and now I found this videos that cover how scales and chords are built in an approachable way. (No word about the circle of fifths)

Real #musicianship is real #labor. It is easy for listeners to forget that with the mainstream filling the airways.

To be perfectly blunt, those who have never lived permanently preoccupied with writing music, will likely not be able to imagine the work involved.

There is a #LouReed song about how songwriting is work. I can't think of much anything else that vocalizes that sentiment.

'Their performances continue to #challenge a #MaleDominated industry defined by fleeting #talent , youthful beauty and #voyeurism .
Their #voices are stronger than ever. Their #musicianship is tight, and the onstage antics are imaginative, playful, colourful and fun. Their messages are #uplifting and clear, #intelligent and #RhoughtProvoking, now tinged with a softened version of #empathetic #rage about #SocialInjustice .'

Accidental pioneers when barely out of their teens, IN FLAMES should have little to prove. Such was the enduring impact of early records like "The Jester Race" (1996) and "Whoracle" (1997), that the Swedes are held in particularly high esteem by generations of metal fans. The fact that they (a...

Recently picked up two Conrad Herwig albums. The Latin Side of Mingus as well as The Latin Side of Horace Silver. Though I have not had a chance to listen to the #HoraceSilver album yet, the #CharlesMingus album was truly great. I highly recommend. A++

Herwig also made another tribute album with the same titled theme, The Latin Side Of #WayneShorter but it is not available in #HiRes, otherwise I would have got it.

I also can't play fast. Which is just plain embarrassing, after so many years.
And yet my making of music and wrestling with technique gives me great pleasure, so I keep on doing it. And I figure, I'm giving my students the technical foundation they need to go on, and hopefully, showing them they can enjoy playing with their guitars, that the point for them is to explore and learn skills, and do with that what pleases them. #musicianship #guitar

Hi Fediverse, #introduction
Currently I'm spending a lot of my time on the computer researching into #music #corpora in order to finish my #phd @ #epfl by the end of 2023. My main subject is #musicTheory and I'm trying to measure stylistic differences between tonal languages of the last four centuries through #statistics on #harmony (#stylometry).
I'm here to connect with people who are interested in #dh #DataScience #machinelearning #opendata #dataset #foss #privacy #musicianship #funk #techno

I don’t think I did a proper introduction here. I’m an #orchestra #teacher in #washington. I have a Ph.D. In #MusicTheory and have written about #pedagogy and #Gubaidulina. i wrote a book about #rap and have a #musicianship textbook on the way. I also play the #DoubleBass.

Im not that #politicaly motivated therefore I don't get involved in too many discussions about #politics, I'd much rather talk about #sport, #music, and #writing

So, all you muso's out there, what #instruments do you play, and what standard of #musicianship are you?
I have a #HohnerArchtop #Jazz #guitar and a #SimonandPatrick electro-acoustic, plus a cheap #acoustic I bought a while back for strumming some chords on., I rate myself as competent.
