Music Theory

They are usually some sort of call and response/question and answer. I.e. one woman sings something and the other women will all sing something back. There is always a distinct banging in the background, which is the woman 'waulking' the tweed and it is always in Gaelic.

there are Several depending on context:

piu mosso = more motion. gen. interpreted as being 'faster'

accelerando = getting faster (but gradually)

doppio movimento = doubly fast.

a change in metronome marking from a slower M.M to a faster M.M.

or simply, "Faster".

Also, a sudden jump to another tempo can be denoted with either a simple tempo direction (allegro or sub. allegro meaning "suddenly faster", etc.) or just a metronome marking indicating the new tempo. It depends on whether you want a specific tempo or for the player (or conductor) to feel a faster tempo by virtue of what was just happening.

Yes: the first seven letters! However, because there are twelve notes in a scale, some notes are named as flats or sharps.

A meter (also known as time signature) looks like a fraction found at the beginning of a song. The most common time signature (meter) is 4

4

The interval made of of the third and the minor seventh makes a tritone.

Often referred to as an accidental, these include sharp, flat, and natural signs.

An object (as a knife for ex.) with a thin edge.

Beat is the steady pulse that lasts throughout the song.

If I were to be honest, I would put it up to three. These three songs are all physically, and mentally exhausting to play: Overture to Candide by Leonard Bernstein, Gathering of Ranks at Hebron by David Holsinger, or Abram's Pursuit by David Holsinger. I hoped this helped!

Sometimes it's easier to read larger notes in faster time than smaller notes in slower time (such as four 8ths in cut compared to four 16ths in regular).

Sofa history can be traced back to ancient Egypt of around 2000 BC, but the true sofa was invented in the end of the 16th to the early 17th century.

A bridge in music is designed to link two parts of a song together, they are often used in pop songs to make them sound more catchy.

Bridges can help join chord progressions together so they sound smoother and more harmonious.

Normally, nothing... or (I guess) the note that came before that one.

You write the accidental first and then the note, so nothing concerned with a note comes before its' accidental.

G minor contains two flats: B and E.

Tone is basically sound quality. How the sound sounds. Different tones convey different emotions. In the case of an instrument, such as the violin, a good tone would be strong and full with smooth, controlled vibrato. Tone could also be described as the feeling or emotion that a musician portrays while performing. Like the tone a person uses while theyre talking. Tone creates atmosphere.

The first ledger line above the treble staff is A, followed by C, then E, and so on.

The trill has a longer duration.

A mordant is a short ornament, usually consisting of two notes: the principal note and the ornament. The principal note is played and then the note just above or below is played, like a two note trill, and then the principal note holds for the duration of whatever that note is. A trill does a similar thing (usually just with an upper note) but continues to go back and forth between the principal note and the ornament for the duration of whatever the note is.

it means to repeat the previous phrase played that many more times..or 3 measures more of the same.

some times it is written to just continue playing that same thing without giving

an exact timing of how long, EXAMPLE= REO SPEEDWAGON= ROLL WITH THE CHANGES... the end of the song continues with the same progression over and over again. so /// can mean 3 more times 3 more measures or just continue to for indefinite measures. in simple beginners books it simply means to strum that many times more= G/// C/// D/// G//. did this help you? if not , please write back and i will be more than happy to help you. thank.

From e natural to f natural is a semitone. To make this a tone, raise the f to f sharp, or alternatively lower the e to e flat.

They refer to the letter names of the lines in the bass clef.

if you could please be more specific that would be great. normal chords (major) are named after their base note and are constructed of the 3rd and 5th degree. there are also many other types of chords such as neapolitan, augmented, diminished, etc...

It refers to the pitch range. High register notes are high pitched notes (like in the Treble Clef). Low register are lower pitched notes (like in the Bass Clef)

basically a semiquaver lasts for 1/4 second oh yeah thats what im talking about hey who goes to fulham cross
