In the key of E Major is it better to write an E Sharp or an F Natural?
That's tricky. It depends on what the other notes (either around or in combination) are; it's a context thing. In other words, it would depend on the harmony and how the note was being used. For example:
Lets say the root of the I chord (here, an E Major triad) was going up in a chromatic line to the notes E#, G# and B, to make a #I diminished triad (E#°) that wants to resolve up to the IIm chord (the F# minor triad) - then the root of that second chord would be an E# - because it is acting like a raised tonic degree [ in solfege the "do" is raised to a "di" ].
However, if the notes F, A and C are used (an F major triad) then we here this as a bII chord (a flat two chord - a type of seconady dominant) which will want to resolve downward to the I chord (the E major triad). Here, we hear the note as a lowered second degree [ in solfege the "re" is lowered to "ra" ]. Again, it depends on context and where that chord (or even just the single note) resolves to to understand what to technically call it.
Having said all that, there could be a flat II diminished chord (in theory) and most people are okay with the enharmonic ambiguity because F is an easier note to conceptualize (for many people) than the note E#. But it usually comes down to the context of usage of the note in question; in other words - it could be either depending on how it's being used.
How do you find middle c in alto clef?
Alto clef actually indicates the position of middle C. Whatever line goes through the center of the clef is C.
What is the name of two pieces in a ternary form?
Chopin - Fantasie Impromptu Op. 66
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
All notes look similar. The difference is the line or space it is placed on and its stem.
What is the beat of a march and waltz?
The beat of a march is normally in two (2/4) and a waltz in three beats (3/4) to the bar. Certain marches often called concert marches are written in four (4/4), but as the name suggests are not for marching. Marches written in 6/8 time are quite common (many Sousa marches are written in 6/8) these are always played with a two to the bar beat.
How do you count thirty-second notes?
To get the number of 32nd notes in a measure, first, multiply the number on the top of the time signature by 32, then divide it by the number on the bottom half. Another way is to use the time signature as a fraction, the top being the numerator and the bottom being the denominator, then multiply that by 32.
Examples:
2/4: 16
3/4: 24
6/8: 24
4/4: 32
2/2: 32
9/8: 36
12/8: 48
It is a D minor chord, composed of the notes D (root), F (minor third) and A (perfect fifth). It is very often played with the minor seventh, C. In this case it would be written as Dm7.
What is the order of the sharps series?
The order of the sharps is F, C, G, D, A, E and B. In that order.
Which degrees of the major scale can you have minor chords?
Normally, the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th are minor.
For example, in the key of C, that would be Dm, Em, and Am.
BONUS: a lot of times a song will end with a 4 chord, then a minor 4 chord before the 1. In the key of C, that would be an F, Fm, then C. Try it - it's pretty cool.
Can you do music at university im tone deaf?
Sure, you can. Music hearing can be developed practically with anyone.
But the less you are capable of it, the more effort it should take.
Sometimes a clef has the number 8 below it, which indicates that the notes are to be played one octave lower than written. It can be used with treble clef for people who are unfamiliar with bass clef, or in bass clef to avoid excess ledger lines.
Why is Austria called the Land of Music?
Because so many of the greatest Western composers lived and worked in Austria (specifically in Vienna). This includes Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and Schoenberg.
What tonality would most likely be chosed for a triumphal march?
I consider E, F#, A, those kind of 'bright' keys, but it really depends on how the individual person hears each note.
How do you construct a D mixolydian scale?
The Mixolydian Mode is a structure built on the fifth degree of the major scale (originally called the Ionian Mode). The formula to the Mixolydian mode is to add one flat or subtract one sharp from the key.
As a straight comparison to the Major Scale you lower the seventh degree (in solfege, the "ti" note is lowered to a "to").
Major:
D E F# G A B C# D
Mixolydian:
D E F# G A B C D
