It is not simply just happy or sad, like 2 sides of a coin, but rather a spectrum of emotions from anger, relentless, to amusement and hope. One thing for certain is that emotions are fluid. The research is still ongoing and before that, these will only be claims.
Music keys and emotions free#
Some even dive into associating it to our innate biochemical composition that is in-built and beyond our free will. Some say it’s due to the effect of familiarity and priming from young, just like how nursery rhymes are paired up with moments of the once carefree days and nursery rhymes are never in the minor key. Some say it’s a social construct, just like how pink got its association with femininity as a result of human’s creation and acceptance of it. Have you heard from musicians or your music teacher saying that major sounds happy while minor sounds sad? However, it isn’t always the case and I’ll save that explanation in the next section. Given that they have very distinct sounds, it should be quite easy to distinguish each other. They are the top 2 most commonly used keys to create 2 associating musical colours, though polar opposites. Major? Minor? Hold on, that sounds familiar. The emotional B key will always have the support of his closest friend, the C key. With that, let’s dive straight into the first concept. Ii) The magical touch: How do they get created? What’s the secret formula? I) Keys with emotions: Why do certain chords make me feel a certain way? And In this post, I will answer 2 fundamental questions on music theory: What I instead hope to achieve is to help break down and sieve out the most interesting and digestible musical theories to meet the demands of someone who may not have musical background.Īs I have warned you in the title, there will be ‘complexities’ but fret not, I will go slow and steady so sit tight and enjoy the ride. Whether or not it’s simpler, that’s subjective. But, with a decade-long investment into the classical world, I do have answers to a few simpler questions. In all honesty, I am still in search of that answer myself.
Music keys and emotions professional#
Whenever I watch the recordings of professional pianists, I often become emotionally hooked onto their music.Īfter the performance, when I finally get de-hypnotised, I often question how they did that.Īren’t those hands the same as mine? If so, what then is the differential point that allows them to create those perfectly controlled musical colours which I can’t? It is also the first instrument that got me curious about it. Whichever family you may prefer, the piano is undoubtedly the most versatile instrument that allows the combination of both the melody and accompaniment played concurrently. Though there’s a heated debate out there on whether the piano should also be considered a string instrument, with it also producing sounds by the vibrations of the built-in strings, it is, however, not our main contention here. The reason being, that it requires hitting onto the piano keyboard, just like how the drums are played. Yes, the family with the drums and cymbals.
