On the Piano and in Sheet music, it looks like this

One could write a dictionary about this; in fact, someone probably already has. Here are a few basic terms:

Piano - quiet

Mezzo-piano - medium quiet

Mezzo-forte - medium loud

Forte - loud

Staccato - short

Legato - smooth, like a singing voice

Tempo - the speed of the beat

Bar/measure - A segment of time determined by the time signature. Each bar has the same number of beats.

Key Signature - the number of sharps and flats in a piece

Time Signature - the top number indicates how many beats there are per measure. The bottom number indicates which type of note (half note, quarter note, eighth note, etc..) is equal to one beat

if you read music try to find your voice range, then look through as many songbooks that you can and find one you like in your range.

It depends how fast you work. I'm lazy and I procrastinate, and I do about 1 or 2 pages per week. I finish it in about 6 months with each book... Well it also depends on how long you've been learning your instrument for as well.

I've done Grade 1-5 piano, and I just whizzed past grade 3 theory without an exam, and I'm near the end of book 4... Yeah like I said depends on how long you've learnt your instrument. If you've started both at the same time with no musical influences, it would take a couple of years.

If theory has been something you've completely forgotten and have to do it in order to do grade 6, it depends how fast you can work through the theory books. Don't go straight to grade 5, because you would have missed quite a bit of foundation work. I started with grade 3, it was easy but it was noticeable that I've missed grade 1 and grade 2 of theory.

In UK if you don't take grade 5 music theory you cannot progress above grade 5 in practical so its a really important exam to take. I took mine while doing Music A level at college and had not real trouble apart from the aural test. We didnt study it specifically as most of it was part of the theory for A level Music. I believe that I took it about 4 months after starting the course.

bar line

Sorry, bar lines separate music into repeating rhythmic patterns. The lines that extend the range of the staff are called ledger lines.

The key of E major and its relative minor, c sharp minor, both have four sharps. Additionally, key signatures apply to all music not just the piano and remain the same regardless of instrument. When referring to the piano the term "key" usually refers to on of the actual white or black keys that are pressed down to make a sound of the corresponding pitch. Each key on the piano is attached to a hammer that hits a string inside the instrument, thus the piano's classification as a percussion instrument. The strings are of different lengths and thicknesses, creating the different pitches. Each key on the piano is responsible for one pitch. Therefore a single key on the piano cannot "have four sharps", as you asked.

In a melodic minor scale, the 6th and 7th degree of the scale is raised up 1 half step on the way up the scale. On the way back down the scale, the 6th and 7th are back down to the natural form of the minor.

The standardly used clefs in modern and classical western music are treble clef, bass clef, alto clef, and tenor clef. Alto and tenor clefs are mainly used in vocal pieces but any have been used and can be found in just about any type of music for any part.

In tab form, E is open, A 2nd fret, D 2nd fret, G 1st fret, all others open.

music has no language, you just read it as you always would. however, musical terminology is written in Italian!

Additional information: Musical terminology can come from many other European languages other than Italian, such as German, French, etc.

A slow piece of music is called the Adagio.

If referring to the second line up, the answer is G. If referring to the second line from the top, then the answer is D.

Looks like a small elongated letter b. If at the begining of a song, right after the staff, it means all of those designated notes are flats. If after just one note in a song, it means only that note is a flat.

The supertonic triad in the key of A flat major is B flat, D flat, and F natural

There are many different rhythm patterns with different names in Indian Music. However, all of these different patterns fall under the concept of Tala. Tala is the concept of the different rhythms, patterns and purposes for those patterns.

The blood sweat and tears of its followers

In a lowered area in front of the stage, commonly called the "Pit".

A musical ensemble is a group of people who perform instrumental or vocal music, typical known by a distinct name.

In classical music, trios, or quartets either blend the sounds of musical instrument families (such as piano, strings, and wind instruments) or group together instruments from the same instrument family, such as string ensemble or wind ensembles.

In jazz ensembles, the instruments typically include wind instruments (one or more saxophones, trumpets, etc.)

In rock ensembles, usually called rock bands, there are usually guitars and keyboards and a rhythm section made up of bass guitar and drum kit.

This was in a crossword puzzle. The answer is: ROCOCOS

A minor chord (triad, at least) is the first, third, and fifth notes of any minor scale played at the same time.

drumset- to drive the band and set tempo and at up beat fills and bridge gaps of silence the drummer has the most important part in an ensemble they often play punches from the ensemble to emphasize the note

piano- to emphasize melodies and solo often used to play backgrounds

bass- to create an atmosphere full of sound and a groove to the rhythm section

guitar- optinal in jazz band but it often is used to play without distortion and riffs that go with melodies and accents
