Understanding Harmony in Music

Nari Sol, a pianist and composer, aims to explain music harmony in a simple and practical manner in a video, avoiding overcomplication often seen in textbooks and music schools.
Harmony is about how sounds vibrate together, influenced by culture, context, and preference, leading to different vibrations for different sets of notes in Western music.
The major scale, comprising seven notes, is the foundation of Western music, and its unique spacing between notes gives it its identity.
Chords, formed by building notes from the scale, support melodies, with the root note holding everything together, and chord progressions involve the succession of groups of notes.
Chords are likened to orbiting around each other in a three-dimensional space, with some having more gravity than others, creating tension and release in music.
Nari Sol has released a book titled "Nari Sol's Elements of Music," aimed at beginners and seasoned musicians, to provide practical music theory knowledge.
Harmony is inherent in single notes, as different pitches vibrate together to create a single sound, related to the science of the overtone series.
The circle of fifths is a tool in music notation that helps label notes and shows the relationship between different key centers, aiding composers in creating contrast in music.
Composers play with contrast in music, utilizing consonant and dissonant sounds to create harmonious or unsettled moments, influenced by context and frame of reference.
Harmony rules are more like guidelines, providing freedom for artists to either follow or break free from them, similar to the freedom of experimentation in fashion.
The utilization of harmony allows artists to choose how much they want to follow or break free from the rules, providing flexibility and creativity in music composition.
Harmony insights provided by Nari Sol offer a deeper understanding and encourage further exploration, with the option to delve deeper into the subject through his book.
