Neumatic Notation

18244

In this assignment we were asked to notated a simple melody. This melody had a to come from a familiar childhood tune, so as a class we collective chose John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. Because, why not? This song was familiar to all of us and was a simple enough tune to visualize without have to listen to it.

Here, one can see exactly how I actualized this notation. To someone who might not be familiar with the tune of John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, this way of notating the song might be hard to read and understand. However, for those of us who are familiar with the tune, this visualization follows the direct melody of the song. Though there are only dots and lyrics, knowing the tunes helps to follow this way of notating. From this exercise, I was able to realize that a simple and familiar song was required to understand my way of notating. Realizing this helped me for my final Innovation Notation Project.
