    Music is expressed through intelligent combinations of sounds. The staff is composed of five lines and four spaces numbered to indicate pitch. The grand staff uses both the treble and bass clefs to notate different ranges of pitches. Notes indicate pitch and duration, with whole notes getting 4 beats and notes decreasing by half with each subsequent note name. Rests indicate silence in corresponding durations to notes. Tempo describes the speed of the music from prestissimo to adagio.

    MUSIC

    is an art expressed through


    an intelligent combination
    of sounds.
    STAFF is composed of five
    lines and four equal spaces.
    The lines and spaces of the staff
    are numbered as illustrated in the
    picture.
    Lines and spaces of the staff are named
    based on the clef sign used.
    These are called pitch names or letter
    names.
    Pitch names are the first 7 letters of the
    English alphabet.
    ( A,B,C,D,E,F,G)
    THE GRAND STAFF AND THE CLEF SIGNS

    The grand staff is composed of two


    staves, one placed at the upper portion
    and one at the bottom. The upper staff
    uses a treble clef while the lower staff
    uses the bass clef.
    This is a treble or G clef sign.

    This is a bass clef or an F clef sign.


    Lines and spaces of the
    staff have letter names.
    Bar lines divide the staff into measures.
    Double bar lines indicate the end of a musical phrase or
    composition.
    Measure is the distance between two bar lines.
    PITCH DURATION

    A whole note has a length of 4 beats of sound


    and is represented by a hollow oval. More
    simply put, when you sing or play this note, you
    hold it for 4 beats counting 1-2-3-4 (in your head)
    before you stop. The British name for this note
    is the semibreve.
    The half notes have a length of 2 beats
    of sound and is represented by a hollow
    oval with a stem. When you sing or play
    this note, you hold it for 2 beats
    counting 1-2. It gets it’s name because
    half of 4 is 2.

    Thus 2 half notes is the same amount of


    time as a whole. All of the note names to
    follow get there names from their
    relationship to the whole note. The
    British name for this note is the minim.
    A quarter note receives 1 beat.

    These are quarter notes.


    The sign below is called crescendo, meaning
    gradually louder.
    An eighth note is worth half
    a beat or half of a quarter.
    Hence 1/8 is half of 1/4. It is
    called an eighth note
    because it is 1/8 of a whole
    note. The British name is a
    quaver.
    A sixteenth note is half of an eighth note. It
    is 1/16 of a whole note.  The British name
    for a sixteenth note is a semiquaver. They
    have two flags and look like this:
    Rest and it's Silent Family

    A whole rest marks 4 beats of silence.


    It's worth 4 like a whole note, but you're
    just silent.
    The half rest is worth two beats of
    silence and looks like this:
    A quarter rest is worth the same
    amount of time (1 beat) as a quarter
    note. We just stay silent for one beat
    whether we are playing or singing.
    A sixteenth rest is 1/2 of an
    eighth rest. Remember notes and
    rests get their names from their
    relationship to the whole note.
    Music Tempo
    The tempo in music is how fast or
    slow the music is played.
    Presto - very fast (168–200 bpm)
    Allegro - fast, quickly and bright (120–168 bpm)
    Moderato - moderately (108–120 bpm)
    Andante - at a walking pace (76–108 bpm)
    Adagio - slow and stately (66–76 bpm)
    Largo - slowly (40–60 bpm)
    RHYTHMIC
    EXERCISES
    DOTTED NOTES
    A slur connects 2 or more notes
    of different pitch.
    A tie connects 2 or more notes of the
    same pitch.
    REPEAT MARK
    ACCENTED NOTES

    An accent gives emphasis to a


    certain note.
    A sharp added before a note raises its pitch by
    ½ step.
    A flat added before a note lowers its pitch by ½
    step.
    A natural sign cancels the effects of flat/sharp.
    Double sharp raises the pitch by 1 step.
    Double flat lowers the pitch by 1 step.
