How many notes are in the average song?

Answer 1

This is a very hard question to answer , as it would depend upon the average for a certain genre. I imagine if you were referring to ALL songs you could never know!

I personally play Classical Music and once (out of boredom) began counting the notes in my sheet music. I had reached several hundred after the first sixteen bars! So it really comes down to individual style and genre- and the gruelling task of counting it yourself. You might want to pick a lazy afternoon for that one ;)

Answer 2

Really, you only need two, because a harmony implies that there are two "voices", but you can have as many notes as you want and have a lot of different voices.

Answer 3

That depends entirely upon whether you play it note by note or using chords. There are many songs that can be done with 2 chords.
