Recently I wrote an article titled, “Demystified: Music Reading Made Simple” for ClassACT! Magazine.
In this article, I help the reader make sense of musical notation by using maths graphs as an analogy for reading music. The premise is, if you know how to draw and interpret simple X-Y graphs, you already have the skills to read musical notation.
You can download ClassACT! for the iPhone or the iPad now. My article is in issue 3, page 12 in the ‘Plus’ section.
Thanks to the ClassACT! team, specifically Syahirah and Wan Ting, for approaching me for this collaboration. It was a pleasure working with them. Also, special thanks to Cheng Peng Hui and Victoria Siew for the lovely photos.
