A quaver is half the length of a crotchet. A semi quaver is a quarter of a crotchet's length . A minum is double its length while a dotted minum is three times it length. A semibreve is four times the length of a crotchet.
i think it means something to do with adding your voice hi george ============== No. Reverb is short for reverberation, which is what happens when a sound is "bounced" within a space, creating echoes. For example, when you speak in a church and you hear remnants of your voice decaying after the initial sound was made. Reverb is frequently used in music recording to create a sense of space, warmth, "vibe", and reduce harshness. Phil Spector is famous for using a great deal of reverb on his "Wall of Sound" recordings. When there's a lot of reverb on a recording, you say the recording is "wet"; an unprocessed, clean signal is called "dry".
Play the note higher up the scale, play the note eight notes higher up the scale to be exact.
For example on a key board if you want to play a C one octave higher than middle C then you play the next C up the key board from middle C
I am not assuming I am in the key of F (one flat), there is one semi-tone in each octave: B flat.
While Iam navigating the entire 2 1/2 octave range, navigating the range chromatically, then each note change is a semi-tone, 13 semi-tones in all for each octave. So 13+13+6 = 32 semi-tones in 2½ octaves.
Musical terms are usually (but not always) in Italian. The Italian musical terms that mean "slow down" are:
Rallentando (or Rall.)
Ritardando (or Ritard. or Rit.)
The following terms also involve an element of slowing down:
Calando - slowing down and getting quieter
Ritenuto - slowing down suddenly, but usually only temporarily before returning to the usual speed again
Slargando - slowing down from a Largo (broad, slow) tempo, becoming even more slow
Slentando - slowing down from a Lento (slow) tempo, becoming even more slow

Something that looks like a large "less-than" sign (<) under a certain section of the chart. Sometimes these will be accompanied by dynamic markings such as mf to ff or something like that.
It's SATB, meaning soprano, alto, tenor, bass. It's the standard 4-voice organization in choral music.
The semibreve (UK naming convention) or whole note (US naming convention) usually has a duration of four beats, with a crochet (UK) or quarter note (US) per beat. In that case, a dotted semibreve has a duration of six beats, since a dotted note is one and a half times the duration of the basic note.
Remember the "usually" though. It is quite common to count a single beat per minim (half note) in faster music, or even to count a semibreve per beat in some circumstances. In slower pieces, the music may be counted with a quaver (eight note) per beat. In any case, though, a dotted note is one and a half times the duration of the basic note.
There really isn't one. Classical music uses practically all available time signatures pretty frequently. But if I had to chose the one that is used the most, it'd have to be 4/4. It is nicknamed "common time" after all...
A low-pitched part to the song which is played by a bass instrument: a Double Bass in orchestras and jazz bands, a Bass Guitar in rock bands and many other forms of popular music, and a Synth Bass in many forms of pop and dance music.

Andante- a steady walking pace, to be precise. Adagietto means a little faster than adagio. Larghetto is slow, but not as slow as Largo. note: mezzo piano means moderately soft
'Always detached' is an English equivalent of 'sempre staccato'. The phrase is a musical term. It means that the player of the particular instrument - usually keyboard - must stop the note almost immediately after it sounds. The result is a minimal amount of time in which the note actually is sounded and heard.
Music: Two tones and a semitone
