Some ideas for contributions
Hi Daniel, welcome aboard CZ. Hayford has already given you some hints as to how things work here in general, and I wish to add some more practical hints on what possibilities you have to contribute. For a start, I just took some of the keywords from the information you supplied upon registration, and display below the current state of related CZ articles (for icon documentation, see Template:Rpl/Doc):
Music: The art of structuring time by combining sound and silence into rhythm, harmonies and melodies. [e]- Dance: A continuous and mentally organised sequence of (body) movements containing an expressive character. [e]
Violin: An elegantly-shaped bowed stringed instrument, a bit shorter than the player's arm; the main staple of classical orchestras. [e]
Symphony: A large-scale musical composition, generally regarded as the central orchestral form. [e]- Orchestra: A large group of musicians performing together, usually led by a conductor. [e]
- Musical instrument: An object constructed or used for the purpose of making music. [e]
- Stringed instrument: Add brief definition or description
- Melody: A linear succession of musical tones which is perceived as a single entity. [e]
- Harmony: Simultaneous pitches (tones, notes), or chords used in making music. [e]
- Consonance: Add brief definition or description
- Metre: Concept related to the regular division of time of music. [e]
- Rhythm: The arrangement of musical sounds in time. [e]
- Beat: The basic time unit of music, the pulse of the mensural level, also known as the beat level. [e]
- Entrainment: The synchronization of different individual organisms to an external rhythm, usually in the framework of social interactions. [e]
- Music psychology: The study of how, when, where and why people engage in music and dance. [e]
- Music perception: The study of the neural mechanisms involved in people perceiving rhythms, melodies, harmonies and other musical features. [e]
- Music production: Principles of generating sounds and music. [e]
- Musical syntax: A set of culture-specific rules underlying the composition and interpretation of music and often dance, too. [e]
In order to find articles dealing with similar topics, it's also worth looking at the Related Article subpages of such an article.
Furthermore, in case you are involved in homework assignments, please consider doing so via Eduzendium articles.
Finally, you can help future newcomers by giving your feedback on the above suggestions. To do so, please leave a note on my talk page.
