By RICHARD HANNEMANNLos Alamos
There are three aspects to music. Most people would say “melody, harmony and rhythm”, which is true enough. But there are three broader aspects, each containing melody, harmony and rhythm, which often get overlooked.
First is what is on the page. This would be what you play. It is essentially just instructions “put your fingers here and make the sounds (either by plucking, bowing, or blowing).” The simplest form of this doesn’t even involve a page―it is one person showing another where to put the fingers
