Measure: Basic Essentials of Music Theory
Hey! I am Mark Black and I am here on expertvillage.com. I am here to talk to you about music theory and learning how to read music. Okay, now we are talking about a measure. Now believe it or not, a measure is a sound. When you look at written music, we will have these bar lines. They are called bar lines and they separate measures, but the measure is a sound. So if we did a song for example we did Amazing Grace, here we go, “amazing grace how sweet the sound” and the unit is organizing that song or song like Vertigo by U2, “Hello, hello, three, four, one, I am in a place called vertigo” every four beats, that is a unit and in Spanish the word for measures is "compas." I want to try and project here is that a measure is the unit that organizes the song. Now, in written music, we use bar lines but the measure is what is inside and when you feel the measure, you project it, you are playing it, you are singing it, you are playing, the musician sounds very driving and exciting, it is engaging because you are accenting things to make the measure strong and weak.
