Ciphers in Music- Week 3

A "cipher" is a method of transforming a text into a secret code. The idea is to create a code system using letters of the alphabet and the notes of a scale to create melodies from words and phrases. (See diagram below).  In class we learnt about different methods of using morse codes to create a pice of music. You could use morse codes for music depending on the notes played on an instrument. It is a unique and different way of representing music.



Each dot, or short sound, will be played as an eighth note.

Each dash, or long sound, will be played as a quarter note.
