Musical Terminology

A crotchet takes one beat. A breve takes eight beats. Therefore there are eight crotchets in a breve.

In 4/4 time, there are 4 crotchets in a semibreve.

4/4 times

Simple time in musical terms means any time signature that divides the beat into 2 or multiples of 2

Simple duple is 2/4 or 2/8 or 2/16 or 2/2

Simple triple is 3/4 or 3/8 or 3/16 or 3/2

Simple quadruple is 4/4 or 4/8 or 4/16 or 4/2

There are in fact, many terms for fast and slow tempos

The most common fast tempo would be "allegro".

But there are others: presto is one.

The most common slow tempo is "adagio"

In 4/4 time, you hold it for the full duration of the measure, which is 4 beats.

it is the shape of a musical note witl two balls facing the same direction.

If the unit beat is considered to be a crotchet, a semibreve has 4 beats.

The G clef is one of many clefs used in music, and the different clefs represent different ranges of notes. Different clefs accommodate different instruments, depending on their ranges. The G clef is one of the better known clefs; it is a mid-range clef and along with the F clef it is standard for almost all piano music. You will note that the fancy "G" that is the symbol for the clef forms an 'x' over the fourth line down in the clef, the line that represents the note 'g'. This is the g one fifth above 'middle c' on the piano, and it is a whole step below the 'a' that has a frequency of 880 cps. The 'a' below middle c on the piano is tuned at 440 cps, the current standard pitch for most musical purposes.

Clefs do not always represent absolute frequencies for every application. I believe that sopranos and altos, while they use the G clef, in reality produce tones that are an octave above the standard suggested pitches. The use of clefs is a matter of convention and convenience.

6 crotchet beats

A rest means the voice or instrument stops making sound for a certain length of time.

Ambient music cropped up in the 1970s. It employs synthesizers and timbral qualities and is designed to enhance mood.

"Aug" means augmented. To augment a note, raise it a half step.

In simple definition, the form is the structure or plan of the music. In most cases, the composer sketches a skeleton of his music. The redundancy of themes and motifs play a major role in music composition. Common forms in music are binary form, ternary form, rondo form, sonata form and theme and variations.

A corresponding rest to a minim note is the minim rest. It is also known as half note rest. The half note rest denotes silence for two beats.

Write the desired note G in the staff. Add two lines as same height as the note in the left side. Do the same from the right side. You have drawn a G as a breve.

its a stick with a clear circle

The place of a minim in a stave is determined by its pitch.

???

A grace note looks identical to an ordinary note, but it is written smaller and has a dash across it.

The term duration in music, means,

the sound can be long or the sound can be short.

Basically the lenght of each note.

hope this helps :):):):):)

There are two types of mordents: upper and lower. For the upper modent, you play a rapid succession of the base note, upper note, then base note. For the lower, you do the same but it will be the base note, lower note, then base note.
