serena asked:


I like different kinds of music. And I listened to Vanessa-Mae and Maksim Mrvica a few days ago. I think it’s a great way to use modern rhythms, noisy drums and guitars in classical music. What do you reckon?
Thank you for listening!

I’m studying for my law finals and could use some new music! I’m looking for some modern classical music such as Kronos Quartet. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

ilya220 asked:


I know about all the different modes (ionian, lydian, phrygian, etc), but how are they actually used in music? I mean, if someone was writing a song, they wouldn’t just randomly throw in a scale or something, so how are modes actually used in music?

Alistair K asked:


I have to compare two types of classical music, from different era’s. This can be romantic, bourlesque or any other type of music. I’m clueless about classical music, so two classical tracks that you think would be good to compare would be brilliant. I don’t need your analysis of the tracks as I have to do that for my work, but any suggestions would be lovely.

hayley asked:


I want to apply for the Arts Concentration program at my school for music, which puts a lot of emphasis on the classical genre.

I was just wondering, how relevant is classical music to rock, alternative, hard rock, and metal? I know the rules of music should apply to all genres, but will I be able to apply what I learn about classical music to the rock music I hope to compose in the future?

Just wondering.

Thanks!

QuelinianQueline asked:


I’m enrolled for a course called History of Medieval Music. I’ve had AP theory in high school, but quite a few of the people in the class are music majors who have had advanced theory. Is medieval music complicated stuff or what?
