BBC Musical Terms Glossary
08/07/2011 10:23
Continuing with my recent theme of glorifying the BBC, I thought I would drop in a link to the Beeb’s glossary of musical terms. Obviously there is no replacement for a good musical dictionary, but this glossary features entries for contemporary terms which some dictionaries may overlook.
For your grade exam, you might want to know how to define a backbeat or describe where where jazz comes from. For your band, you might wonder: what does a producer actually do, or what does ‘A&R’ even mean? While the glossary certainly won’t tell you everything, it’s a good starting point.
