[Vocab] Funny Music Note ??

Question

Hi every1,

I'm Woo Hyuk, from Korea.

I'm opening an International Kindergarten in my country in, like, two months and thinking of naming it in English.
The name in Korean is, word-by-word translated, " Funny Music Note" .

I find "Music Note" would be very rough and totally not proper in English.
So I've kinda come up with a couple names like : Fun Melody or Jolly Melody, but I really have no idea if they sound suitable, common for a kindergarten or not.

I want to name it something more naturally American, more childish ..,
It doesn't have to be exactly Music Note, or Melody, something similar is ok, since my English is kinda limited so I just can think of those.

If you have any bright idea, please give me some recommendations.:up:

Thank you very, very much.,. :-D

(I desperately need your help)

Can you provide the actual Chinese characters for "Funny Music Note"?

I think by "note" you are actually trying to get the word "sound", and possibly plural if you are mentioning melody. In this case, use "sounds". Then we have "Sounds of____". Perhaps, you mean fun instead of funny. Sounds of fun music.

hi everyone

,

i want to clarify some misconceptions. Being a musician i have knowledge of music. So if you say the word SOUND, then it won't reflect so attractively. Because sounds can be of many types: e.g. Grave, Thrilling, harsh . May be it won't work. The word MELODY can make it quite simple and harmonious. Because the word deals with succession of musical notes. How about "CHERISHABLE MELODY", "SWEET MELODY", "LIMELIGHT MELODY" there is another carrying words apart from all these "HONEY TO EAR" .

I too have an interest in music. I spent all my high school years playing music, I went to college to get into the music world. Then I tried to learn more about music education. Music is my life, and I can understand how "musicians" get narrow minded and lose track of the worldly view of music.

Musical - "SOUND OF MUSIC" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059742/ "The Happiest Sound In All The World!"

When you say harmony, you are talking about 2 sounds together. So, this is different than a melody with the notes one after the other. It does deal with the succession of musical notes, however it does not address harmony or rhythm. This is why I pick the word "sound". If you know the asian languages, they use the word "sound" and the word "fun" to mean music.

Stravinsky and Cage never had notes they could use, they had to invent their own notation. Melody is only one part of music.

This is why I exist.
