  1. Reading, Writing, and Making Music Clef Notes Dynamics Tempos Articulations

  2. Terms Accent – the emphasis placed on a musical sound. Meter – the aural aspect of music in which a certain number of beats are grouped together. Measure – the division of beats into defined groups separated by a bar line. Time signature – used to specify how many beats are in each measure and what note value constitutes one beat.

  3. Note and Rest Symbols

  4. Subdividing Notes • The number plus the and equals ONE FULL beat. • Therefore, just the number WITHOUT the and will only equal HALF a beat.

  5. Clef Notes • Treble Clef • Line Notes: Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge • Space Notes: F A C E • Bass Clef • Line Notes:GreatBig DogsFightAlways • Space Notes: All CarsEat Gas

  6. Musical Terms • A great many musical terms are in Italian. It shouldn't be surprising that so many musical terms are Italian, since many of the most important early composers in the renaissance period were Italian, and that period is when numerous musical indications were used extensively for the first time.

  7. Dynamics • Dynamics tell the performer or conductor how loud or how soft to play a piece of music. • Dynamics are used in a piece of music to help maintain the interest of the listener.

  8. Dynamics • Fortissimo ff–very loud • Forte f–loud • Mezzo forte mf–medium loud • Mezzo piano mp–medium soft • Pianop –soft • Pianissimo pp–very soft • Crescendo –to gradually get louder • Decrescendo –to gradually get softer

  9. Tempos • Largo –very slow • Adagio –slow • Andante – walking tempo • Moderato –moderately • Allegro –fast; quickly • Vivace –very fast • Accelerando (accel.) –to gradually get faster • Ritardando (rit.) – to gradually get slower

  10. Music Theory:Articulations • Staccato – to play the notes short and detached • Accent – to play the note louder, with a special emphasis • Tenuto –to hold the note for its full value • Fermata – to hold the note longer than its normal value; approximately twice the normal duration
