One way musicians practise rhythms is by breaking them up into smaller, more easily identifiable sub-patterns. [8] For example, one might start by learning the sound of all the combinations of four eighth notes and eighth rests, and then proceed to string different four-note patterns together.
Techniques of improvisation are widely used in training for performing arts or entertainment; for example, music, theatre and dance. To "extempore" or "ad lib" is basically the same as improvising. Colloquial terms such as "playing by ear", "take it as it comes", and "making it up as [one] goes along" are all used to describe improvisation.
Interval recognition, the ability to name and reproduce musical intervals, is an important part of ear training, music transcription, musical intonation and sight-reading. Reference songs [ edit ]
[18] Absolute pitch is an act of cognition, needing memory of the frequency, a label for the frequency (such as "B-flat"), and exposure to the range of sound encompassed by that categorical label. Absolute pitch may be directly analogous to recognizing colors, phonemes (speech sounds), or other categorical perception of sensory stimuli.
An example, is the different concert pitches used by orchestras playing music from different styles (a baroque orchestra using period instruments might decide to use a higher-tuned pitch). Compound intervals (intervals greater than an octave) can be more difficult to detect than simple intervals (intervals less than an octave).

There are many myths and misconceptions among music teachers, especially in the Western classical tradition, about "good" posture and "bad" posture.
