Why can’t ukulele players and musician communicate using, at a minimum, basic music terms?
I hear it all the time with ukulele video lessons online, in workshop and other players. It drives me nuts! They call the “higher” stings to bottom on a ukulele. The higher strings produce higher pitches and are on the top of the music staff in standard music notation and to top lines in TAB.
Learning an instrument is tough enough.
What is up, down, higher, lower, top, bottom, ascending, descending on a ukulele?. This ukulele lesson focuses on clearing up what these terms refer to and should refer too. Up, down, higher, lower, top, bottom, ascending, descending should refer to musical pitch and not be related to gravity as we know it. Up and higher refers to the raising of pitch and down and lower refer to the lowering of pitch. Top refers to the upper note of a chord voicing or musical phrase and bottom the lowest note.
The only gravity, up – down reference that is appropriate when communication musically is, when referencing to strumming or picking. Then the normal down and up that we know works.
Here is the definitive answer to Which Way is UP?
