Unit 11: Scales in Music.

Srta.Corchea mayo 22, 2020 0 Comments

Scales: A series of ascending or descending notes. Scales are defined by both the number of notes in the scale and the organization of the tones and semitones.

Scale Code: The relationship between the tones in a scale; in other words, how many tones or semi-tones each note of the scale is apart.

Major Scale: One of the two most common scales in Western music. It consist of 7 notes. The order of tones and semitones is as follows: tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone.

Minor Scale: The other of the most common scales in Western music. It consists of 7 notes. The order of tones and semitones is: tone, semitone, tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone.

Scale Degrees: The numerical order which notes appear in a scale. On a staff they are usually expressed as roman numerals.

UNIT 10: Alterations in Music.

Srta.Corchea mayo 08, 2020 0 Comments

Alterations.

Alterations: Signs placed in front of notes to indicate changes in how the note should be played. Alterations usually signal that a note should be played higher or lower than it appears on the staff.

Natural and Altered Notes.

Natural Notes: Notes with no alterations.
All white keys on the Piano are “natural notes”

Altered Notes: Notes with some alteration.
Correspond to black keys on the piano.

Tone and Semitone.

Semitone: The distance between any one of the 12 notes to the next note. For instance the distance between note 10 and note 11 is a semitone.

Tone: The equivalent of two semitones. For example the distance between the 6th and 8th notes would be a “tone”.

Sharp and Flat.

Sharp: Raises a note one semitone. For instance if put a “sharp” in front of Note 1, it would move up to Note 2.

Flat: Lowers a note one semitone. For instance if you put a “flat” in front of Note 10 it would become Note 9.

Enharmonic notes.

Enharmonic (adjective): having the same pitch but written in different notation. In other words, enharmonic notes are notes that have the same pitch on a piano but have different note spellings.

Example: C Sharp = D Flat or G Sharp= A Flat.

Srta.Corchea mayo 01, 2020 0 Comments

Articulation:

How specific notes or passages are played or sung.

STACCATO

In staff music staccato is represented by a dot located above or below a note. Staccato is to play a musical note or phrase shorter and louder than its original value.

LEGATO

Legato: (Italian term) Slur (English term).

A form of musical articulation where you blend notes together. It is the opposite of staccato. On sheet music “legato” is indicated by a curve above or below a series of notes or by the word itself.

ACCENT

A symbol placed above or below a note that indicates it is to be played with a specific intensity or character. Accentuate is to give a specific intensity to a particular musical note.

Sheet music may look complicated, but once you've gotten the hang of a few simple elements like notes, bars and clefs, you're ready to rock. Tim Hansen hits the instrumental basics you need to read music.
