Teoria Musical (Coursera)

Explore os elementos básicos que compoem a música, desenvolva sua percepção, tire músicas de ouvido, e aprenda a ler e escrever usando notação musical. Procuramos criar um curso que unisse a cultura e música brasileira com técnicas de aprendizado de solfejo e leitura rítmica. Você fará parte de uma aula de Percepção Musical ("Ear Training") na Berklee College of Music, cantando e praticando com outros alunos e interagindo com os vídeos. Além disso, você terá acesso a material para praticar, como faixas de acompanhamento e partituras.

O material usado para estudo é derivado de grandes exemplos da música brasileira, demonstrados por artistas de fama internacional como João Donato e Alcione, entre outros. O curso, apresentado pelo professor da Berklee College of Music, Gilson Schachnik, cobre as escalas pentatônica, maior, menor natural, e o modo mixolídio, além de vários conceitos rítmicos e progressões harmônicas. Além do material estudado, cada aula apresenta entrevistas com os artistas envolvidos.
Nesse curso, dividido em 6 aulas, você irá usar solfejo para aprender música de ouvido, como transcrever o ritmo da música e, finalmente, como usar todos esses elementos para escrever a música com notação musical e transpor para qualquer tom. Também será dada atenção para a prática de percepção musical direcionada a harmonia e culminando com a última aula aonde você irá compor uma música usando todos os elementos aprendidos no curso.
Os projetos são corrigidos e avaliados pelos alunos, criando uma comunidade unida pelo amor à música.

WEEK 1
Boas-vindas
Seja bem-vindo ao curso! Aqui exploramos todos os detalhes sobre o curso e o que você precisará saber para tirar o melhor proveito da sua experiência.

WEEK 2
Introdução à Percepção & Capoeira Angola na Bahia
Nesta aula, vamos introduzir os conceitos básicos da teoria e percepção musical, incluindo padrões rítmicos básicos, a escala pentatônica (depois somando a nota Fá), e estratégias para transcrever uma melodia de ouvido. Vamos explorar um pouco sobre a Capoeira Angola com uma Roda de Capoeira na Bahia, e usar a canção "Paranauê" como base para a aula.

WEEK 3
Escala Maior & Música Gaúcha
Nesta aula, vamos introduzir a escala maior, mais conceitos rítmicos básicos, e a cadência harmônica Dominante-Tônica. Vamos falar um pouquinho sobre a Música do Rio Grande do Sul, e usar a canção "Prenda Minha" como base para a aula.

WEEK 4
Harmonia Diatônica Maior & a Música de Minas Gerais
Nesta aula, vamos falar sobre harmonia diatônica no modo maior e introduzir diferentes fórmulas de compasso. Vamos usar a canção "Ponta de Areia" de Milton Nascimento, grande representante da música de Minas Gerais, como base para a aula. Especialmente de um ponto de vista rítmico, a música de Minas Gerais, principalmente a música de Milton Nascimento, não é conhecida por um único elemento característico, mas puxa elementos de várias áreas do Brasil e de fora também, como ritmos dos Andes - e acaba tendo uma certa personalidade e unidade.

WEEK 5
Escala Menor Natural & Samba no Rio de Janeiro
Nesta aula, vamos introduzir a escala menor natural (modo eólio) e suas tríades, e também trabalhar com ritmos mais avançados. Vamos falar sobre Samba, com foco na bateria de Escola de Samba no Rio de Janeiro, e usar a canção "Canto das Três Raças" como base para a aula.

WEEK 6
Modo Mixolídio & Baião
Nesta aula, vamos introduzir o modo mixolídio e o acorde de sétima dominante. Vamos falar um pouco sobre o Baião, usando a canção chamada "Baião" de Luiz Gonzaga, importante ícone da música do Nordeste do Brasil, como base para a aula.

WEEK 7
Revisão & Composição
Nesta última aula, vamos revisar brevemente o conteúdo do curso em preparação para escrever uma peça original de 16 compassos. Após a revisão, você verá um exemplo com alunos demostrando o processo, e terá a oportunidade de escrever sua própria peça.

Exploring Beethoven's Piano Sonatas (Coursera) Coursera

Exploring Beethoven's Piano Sonatas (Coursera)

Our relationship to Beethoven is a deep and paradoxical one. For many musicians, he represents a kind of holy grail: His music has an intensity, rigor, and profundity which keep us in its thrall, and it is perhaps unequalled in the interpretive, technical, and even spiritual challenges it poses to performers. At the same time, Beethoven’s music is casually familiar to millions of people who do not attend concerts or consider themselves musically inclined. Two hundred years after his death, he is everywhere in the culture, yet still represents its summit. This course takes an inside-out look at the 32 piano sonatas from the point of view of a performer.
