Those who can do maths and those who can't.

Sorry for not having continued with my little installment yet, unexpected things to be done. Perhaps I'll manage in a bit.

I disagree. Your take assumes the chords are primary, I think that line speaks for itself and the chords follow, are implicit in the line, and you HEAR the chords, once you're ready for that information.

I really think training the ear to hear a melody before dealing with a lot of technical information is a good idea.

But, you're the one teaching this person for free, not me. So carry on.

At the very first article of "Principles of Orchestration On-line", there are some
techniques of playing like tremolo, legato, staccato and many more, and I know about one percent of them.

I find that trying to learn orchestration is impossible without having a minimal knowledge about instrumentation.

the majority of this forum is shrinked into a book called Idiot's Guide to Music Theory Second Edition

It explains everything that has been discussed, it has an audio cd that tests you, of course you can learn everything off the internet for free, but the book has the information all at once so u can go back n forth

i recommend it even though i havent made anything with the knowledge i learned from it

thats about it, n thanks to the ppl who took alot of their time to help out here :D
