Why doesn't my 1918 dime look like the rest of them?

Answer

What is different about it? If it is a US Dime, it should look like all the dimes dated from 1916 through 1945. If you are comparing it to a new dime, it will look considerably different - a portrait of Winged Liberty instead of Roosevelt on the front and a fasces instead of a torch on the reverse. It will also be made of silver instead of copper plated with copper-nickel.

What concert is C major on the scale sheet?

A "concert" note refers to the sound that an instrument will make when the note C is fingered. Clarinets and trumpets are concert Bb instruments. A saxophone is a concert Eb instrument.

This question makes no sense the way it is phrased since concert tuning refers to the relationship between what you will hear when C instruments play a C and what other instruments will sound like.

What do you mean by a scale sheet? Are you trying to ask how the sound of the note C relates to another tone?

What does a G major scale look like with two octaves?

If, for example, the lowest G is the first G below middle C, this G would be in the space below the second ledger line below the stave (with the G clef (treble clef). The next note, A, would be on the second ledger line below the stave, the next note, B, will be in the space below the first ledger line, then middle C, and the notes D, E, F and G (that completes the first octave) will be on consecutive spaces and lines above middle C, so that the G completing the first octave will be on the second line on the stave. The second octave will continue with the A in the second space from the bottom, the B on the line above, and the C, D, E and F will be on the consecutive spaces and lines above. The G that completes the second octave will be in the first space above the stave. Also, both F notes will will have a sharp symbol to the left of them ( like a hash sign), unless this symbol appears after the treble clef symbol at the start of each stave.

What are the lyrics to been through enough to know He'll be enough?

I'VE BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH" BY JANET PASCHALL

When I first began to walk with the Lord,

I did not really trust Him,

How He longed for me to understand that I could

So thru the valley, He lead me, afraid as I could be,

Until I felt His loving arms, embracing me

I've been through enough to know, He'll be enough for me

He's come through too many times

That puts my mind at ease, for good

I'll stake my very life, He's gonna take care of me,

Cause I've been through enough to know, He'll be enough for me

How could I ever doubt a God whose hands hold the universe,

Why would I ever question His ability,

There's no place that I can go, where He doesn't know,

The things that trouble me

He's always aware of where I am and what I need

I believe Him now, after all these years,

He's been so faithful He's proven to be true,

Nevermore will I doubt or question why

Cause I've seen them all before and I know what God can do

I've been through enough to know, He'll be enough for me

He's come through too many times

That puts my mind at ease, for good

I'll stake my very life He's gonna take care of me,

Cause I've been through enough to know, He'll be enough for me

My church sings this, we leave out the third verse and the "for good". Also where it says "the things that trouble me", we sing "exactly what I need". In the second verse, last line we sing, "He's always aware of where I am and just what I need". We start the chorus "And I've..."

What scales do you have to do for grade 2 flute?

What is the harmonic minor of D flat major?

To make the Eb scale minor you would add 3 flats. Thus the Eb minor scale would have the flats of B,E,A,D,G and C. The last three flats, the Db, Gb, and the Cb, are the minor notes. If your Eb scale is already minor with only two flats, then the minors are Bb, Eb, and Ab.

What mojor key has the same number of sharps and flats as c minor?

E flat. The way to figure it out is to go three half steps up from C. So the major key for D minor would be F, the major for E minor would be G, etc...

What is the g flat scale for a clarinet?

Concert d-flat is played as e-flat on the clarinet. To transpose any note from concert pitch, simply raise it one whole step; the result is the note you should play on a standard b-flat clarinet to match the concert pitch.

What is the Fifth note on the diatonic scale?

This depends entirely on what key you are in.
The fifth note in the musical scale is the Dominant.

In C Major it would be G
In G Major it would be D
In D Major it would be A
In A Major it would be E
In E Major it would be B
In B Major it would be F#
in F# Major it would be C#
and in C# it would be G#

however in flat keys they are as follows

C remains the same (no key signature)
in F major it would be C
in Bb major it would be F
in Eb major it would be Bb
in Ab Major it would be Eb
in Db Major it would br Ab
in Gb major it would be Db
and in Cb major it would be Gb

there are also numerous minor keys to consider (natural, melodic, harmonic, jazz harmonic etc) and also the modes ([not including the major and minor] Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian and Locrian) which all have a different 5th degree.

In major keys your 5th is a dominant and is usually a 7th chord, (in roman numerals V7 depicting that there is a dominant 7 on the initial root position triad) also each chord of each scale has a 5th,

However in Chords it is the 3rd that denoted major or minor, however in the case of chord 7 (which is dinimished) it is a minor third and a diminished 5th that give it its characteristic tone.

The fifth also is used in most music near the end of a piece or phrase, as part of a perfect cadence, which is the fifth chord going to the tonic (1st chord) this is widely regarded as the strongest way to end a piece of music (in the majority of music from the renaissance up until present day. however there are times where this is not used. for example if the piece is in a minor key, it is not always strong to finish on a minor chord as it makes the piece feel unfinished and 'unsatisfied' (as my university lecturer likes to say) in this case a tierce de picadi is used which is ending a minor piece on a major chord, (this can be any chord in the key that is major or even one that is out of the key [usually the tonic chord played as a major]) this gives the piece its finality and also ensures to the listener that the piece is finished. Bach used this a lot in his minor chorales. however it is somtimes used in the middle of a piece at the end of a phrase. to lead into another key or as a point from which to continue in the progression.

For more info it would be better to talk to the music teacher at your school or college, or to go to any music/book store and purchase a music theory book. they would tell you all you needed to know about scales, chords, chord construction, and the use of the fifth in a number of contexts.

What is the most uncommon key signature for rock music?

Generally, the most common keys for rock guitar bands are "E" and "A", two keys easily played on guitars. Most of the songs on the first two Beatles albums are in the key of "E", for example.

For rock piano, "C" and "G" tend to be the easiest used.

It should be noted that the better bands can play in almost any key, but the keys of "B" and "F#" tend to be avoided.
