GO ASK THE MAN

THIS SONG BLESSED MY SOUL AND I DECIDED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU.

Don't ask me to explain to you how one could start again
or hardened hearts could soften like a child
Don't ask me how to reason out the mysteries of life
or how to face it's problems with a smile

Go ask the man who's found a way to take a rose to stay when all communications were destroyed.
Go ask the child who's walking now who once was crippled and then somehow her useless legs were made to jump for joy
Go ask the one who's burned out mind has been restored I think you'll find the questions not as important as before.
Don't ask me if He's good or bad I only know the guilt I had is gone
and I can't tell you any moreand don't ask me how to prove to you why I know God is there or how I know that He would care for you

And don't ask me why someone so great would chose to walk with me and trade my broken life for one that's new
Go ask the child whose got a dad to love away the hurt he had before this man called Jesus touched their lives
Go ask the one whose fears have fled whose churning heart was quieted when someone whispered peace to all her strive
Go ask the man to tell you more whose life was just a raging war in spite of self until the savior came.I don't pretend to be so wise, I only know He touched my eyes and nothing else will ever be the same.I don't pretend to be so wise, I only know He touched my eyes and nothing else will ever be the same.
and nothing else will ever be the same.

ACCIDENTALS

In music theory, the term "accidentals" is used to describe some notes which have been slightly altered. Accidentals are the symbols which are placed before the note on the stave - they can be "sharps", "flats" or "naturals".

In this unit we'll have a look at what accidentals are exactly, and how they are used in music theory.

The Octave

To begin, let’s look at a piano keyboard again.

The yellow note is middle C, and the green note is the next C above it. How many different notes are there between these two Cs? 

If we count all the black and white notes, we’ll find there are 12 different notes. (Don’t count the C twice!) This span of notes is called an "octave".

This isn’t only true for the piano – every instrument uses the same series of notes.

Sharps and Flats

So, we have 12 different notes, but we only use 7 letters of the alphabet. We use the words “sharp” (=higher) and “flat” (=lower) with a letter name, to cover all those “in-between” notes. Sharps and flats are two kinds of "accidentals".

We can use symbols for accidentals, instead of the words sharp and flat.

Sharp symbol

Flat symbol

Find the notes C and D on this keyboard:

They are both white notes (but we've coloured the C in yellow to help you find it!). In between them, you’ll see a black note.

We can say that this note is a bit higher than C, so it is “C sharp” (C#), or we can say it is a bit lower than D, so it is also “D flat” (Db).

Here’s another example.

Find the notes F and G. The black note in between F and G can be called F sharp (F#) or G flat (Gb). 

Naturals

The third type of accidental we are going to look at is called the "natural".

We use the word “natural” (or the symbol ) to say that a note is neither sharp nor flat. This is very useful, because sometimes when a note has already been altered by an accidental (flat or sharp), we need to put a natural sign in to tell the player that it isn't flat or sharp any more. Flats, sharps and naturals make up the main accidentals, and they are the only accidentals you need to know for grade one music theory.

MUSIC/MUSICAL INSTRUMENT TRAINING PROGRAMMES FOR INDIVIDUALS, SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES (Children Home Lessons available).

The Music and Musical Instruments Training Programme is projected towards meeting a need in our society for a selected ensemble where talented children, young singers, intending instrumentalists can be trained in music reading, tone production, blending, correct posture and breathing, ear training, diction, conduction, expressive singing, sight playing and music interpretation, enabling trainees to perform gallantly and competently anywhere in the world.

The training is divided into three categories:

1.      Rudiments of Music/ General Practical Classes.

2.      Establishment of Music Club: Talents haunt Club for schools only, where pupils, Secondary and Tertiary students can participate regularly in the weekly rehearsals, practically demonstrating acquired skills and be taught in a simple way of approaching singing confidently, and playing of musical instruments with dexterity.

3.      Refurbishing Training. (For young and old singers, School Orchestras and Band, School Choral Group, Church Choir, Young and old Instrumentalists etc.)

The Musical Instrument training is very significant in Music Training Programme and it needs more attention and proficiency, because it provides an extraordinary effect in the quality of music production and thereby adding colour to its original beauty. Music is incomplete without musical instruments. The Musical Instruments of interest are in four groups:

STRING INSTRUMENTS:

       (a)   Violin

       (b)   Viola

       (c)   Cello

       (d)   Double Bass 

       (e)   Piano/ Organ

N.B.

i.    A reasonable number of the above mentioned instruments are necessary for an effective orchestra training (secondary schools inclusive) depending on your scale of preference.

ii.   Primary School pupils may not need some of the Brass Instruments because of their peculiarities.

iii.  Individuals interested in home training should get their personal instruments ready before the commencement of the training.

iv.  All classes are charged per hour and attract different charges:

vi.  We can help in the procurement of very good musical instruments for Individuals, Group, Schools and Churches.
