I am very ANGRY now!!

Hello everyone. Recently, I am very stressed about school homework.

There are too many assignments and homework right before the important violin competition. I get homework from every subject.

 I do not have enough time, because I must practice violin for the competition.
I have new piece of music given by my teacher which I have to master.
How do manage my time???
I don’t know how to make time for everything.

Ryu Goto is a young musician. His mother is Japanese and his father is Korean. He graduated from Harvard University. He had to study and practice violin that, apparently he only slept for 4 hours every day.

I also know some people who never went to school. These people still succeed as musicians.

Some famous musician can do school work well, but I am finding it difficult, and I don't like them, because it is not interesting.  I want to study about musical grammar, which is a compositional rule of music.

To understand the concept of music grammar you have to know major and minor. Major melody might make you feel happy, and minor might make you feel sad.  Major and minor both have scales.
Scale is any set of musical notes ordered by fundamental frequency or pitch.
Within each scale, there are basic chords made from three keys.
For example, one of c major's chords are "C, E, G (Do, Mi, So) " because C major starts with C.
And these basic cods are already set. When you compose a piece of music, you have to make chords first.
I just explained the basic of music chords, but I still don’t have enough knowledge about music grammar. In order to go to music school to study this, I need to finish high school. So for now, I guess I have to do my homework.
See you next time.
