Music Theory

The two most common triads are the Major and the minor triad.

The other two types of triads are diminished and augmented triads.

the order of sharps and flats are both used to write out the order in a key siganture on a piece of music (for example: the key of d has two sharps, f and c, so in the key signature, you see a sharp for f and a sharp for c)

Also, when you're looking at the key signature, you can use the order to find out what key the song is in.

For sharps, you look at the last sharp in the key signature, and go up one letter in the musical alphabet. if that note is not sharped, then that letter is the key. if it is sharped, then it's that letter, sharped (for example: key of c sharp, fcgdaeb are the sharps: you go up one from b and it's c, but c is already sharp, so it's the key of c sharp)

For flats, you look at the second to last flat in the key signature, and that's the key that it's in. if there's only one flat, it's b flat, and the key is f.

Count eight notes up from and including the original G. You are then at the G one octave higher. Build your G broken chord up from this G, just as you would do from your original G.

Timbre is what allows you to tell a piano from a trumpet, or a person's voice from a drum. It's tone color. It is independent from pitch, which is the frequency at which an object vibrates to create sound.

Bass

4/4

C, or common time.

Glissando is a musical term. It means a rapid sequence of rising or falling notes.

If you mean to play again you might want repeat.

It depends on the time signature. If the bottom number is a 2, then it is ⅜ of a beat. If the bottom number is a 4, then it is ¾ of a beat. If the bottom number is an 8, then it is 1½ beats.

it is like a verse

Expression is indicated anywhere throughout a piece of music using dynamic markings like forte (f) mp (mezzo piano) pianississimo (ppp) Or in Italian like tranquillio, mysterioso, lively, expressively, etc. Generally you will see a dynamic marking at the beginning of a piece and then it can change throughout.

Yes you can. When playing wind instruments it's normal to take breathes where the music changes (a repeat) or stops momentarily. You of course don't want to make it too noticeable, just as you would anywhere else you would breathe. With wind instruments the goal is to only have to take breathes when there are breathe marks, rests, or it is the end of phrase. If you are a beginner this can be a challenge as your lungs have not fully adapted to all the air your putting out. Until your able to reach this point try at those points as well as other areas that would not interrupt the sound of the flow (for example you wouldn't want to breathe during a slur).

High pressure area.

Te capo does not change the location of the chords, it only places the open strings at where you place the capo, in your position, the open strings are at the 7th fret. The capo is only ever useful if you have difficulty playing full chords and you only need to change a few during a performance or if you require the open strings at a more convenient position for doing leads for songs played in a certain chord, where the open strings are used often.

Do, Re, Me, Fa, So, La, Ti, & Do

Try learning a few each day. Put them into groups and learn them in groups. Make a list of words which are more difficult to remember and concentrate on those ones more.

Notes are names for different frequencies. Flats, naturals, and sharps are further descriptions of those frequencies. An 'A' pitch played, lets say, to appease the violin obsessed, on a violin would sound the frequency 440 hz (in the 4th octave but don't worry about that). To make the A an Aflat, the frequency must be lowered by one half step. The numbers in hz aren't important for this concept as long as it is understood that a flat will lower the pitch by one half step. By the same token, a sharp will raise the frequency by half a step. The term 'natural' simply describes the unsharpened/unflattened note. In this example, the regular old A 440 is also called A natural.

do ti la sol, fa mi re do.

sol la, la ti, ti do.

do do ti la sol sol, fa mi

do do ti la sol sol, fa mi.

mi, mi, mi, mi, mi fa sol,

fa mi re, re, re, re mi fa,

mi re do (octave)do, la sol fa mi

fa mi re do.

The scientific name for how high or low a note is is intonation. If you play a note and it's flat from the ideal pitch, you increase your air flow and tighten your embouchure to get the right sound, and that's called working on your intonation.

Oh, dude, a 864 chord is like a super fancy way of saying it's a major 7th chord with an added 9th and 13th. It's like ordering a pizza with all the toppings, but for music. So, if you want to sound all sophisticated and stuff, just throw in a 864 chord and impress your friends.

There are different kinds of musical stress marks that mean different things. All of them are placed above the note that they pertain to. A staccato Is simply a small dot like a period ( . ). a staccatissimo looks like an exclamation point with the dot part being the note head ( ! ) (I personally nave never seen any of these but they were more common in Mozarts days). The marcato is the name for two different kind of stress marks that act slightly different. One looks like an upside down V ( /\ ) and the other is a greater-than sign from mathematics ( > ). There is also the tenuto notated with a horizontal bar ( _ ).

Stacatto is short.

Stacattissimo is even shorter that the stacatto.

Marcatos are played more forcefully than normal.

Tenuto is played long.

Every scale has one note with each letter name, so the second way is incorrect.
