Major Scales, Minor Scales and Key Signatures
This document discusses scales, key signatures, and triads. It defines a scale as a succession of tones arranged from lowest to highest. It explains that the name of a scale is derived from its starting or ending note, known as the home tone or key. Major scales follow the pattern of whole steps and half steps. Minor scales have a different pattern. Key signatures indicate the number of sharps or flats in a scale. Triads are composed of three tones: the root, third, and fifth.
Rhythmic patterns
This document discusses rhythmic patterns in music notation. It introduces the treble clef and various note and rest values including whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, and their corresponding rests in 4/4 time signatures.
Time signature
Time signatures are used to define the meter or rhythmic feel of a piece of music. They indicate how many beats are in each measure and which note value receives the beat. The top number tells how many beats per measure, while the bottom number denotes the note value that receives one beat. Common time, represented as 4/4, is the most standard time signature, with four quarter note beats per measure. Other examples include 3/4, 2/4, 2/2 or cut time, and 6/8. Understanding time signatures allows musicians to properly play and interpret the rhythmic feel of a composition.
Minor scales
The document discusses relative major and minor keys. It states that the relative minor of C major is A minor, as the 6th note of the C major scale is A. It also notes that the relative minor and its corresponding major key share the same key signature. Additionally, it identifies that the relative minor of F major is D minor, as D is the 6th note of the F major scale.
Tempo
Tempo refers to the speed at which a musical piece is meant to be played and can be either fast or slow. Common tempo markings include Lento and Adagio for slow tempos with 52-58 beats per minute, Andante and andantino for moderate tempos of 72-92 beats per minute, and Allegro and Vivace for fast tempos of 120-145 beats per minute. Additional tempo markings like accelerando and ritardando indicate gradually getting faster or slower.
Tempo powerpoint
The document discusses musical tempos, which indicate the speed or pace of a piece of music. It defines tempos as slow, medium, or fast, and provides examples of specific tempo terms in Italian and their meanings. The tempo is shown above or below the musical staff and introduces common tempo markings like Largo (very slow), Allegro (fast), and Andante (walking tempo). It includes a timeline of tempos from slow to fast and some examples of songs paired with the correct tempo markings.
Rhythm, Melody, and Harmony
The document discusses six musical elements - rhythm, pitch, dynamics, form, timbre, and texture. It then focuses on what is covered in music theory - rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, and form. Timbre and texture are discussed in other courses. Rhythm is defined as the regular patterns of sounds or pitches and differentiates music from noise. Melody is pitch and rhythm, usually the lead line of a song. Harmony refers to simultaneous playback of notes or melodies through chords.
Melody (music)
This document defines melody and the musical staff. It explains that a melody is a tune consisting of single tones that move upward, downward, or repeat. It also describes the musical staff as having five horizontal lines and four spaces that correspond to letters of the musical alphabet. Finally, it discusses how notes can move on the staff by step, skip, or leap to change the pitch and sound.

Rhythm and Meter
The document discusses the basic elements of music including rhythm, meter, note durations, rests, time signatures, and conducting patterns. It explains that music has a steady beat that notes are organized around in rhythmic patterns defined by measures separated by bar lines. Notes have standardized durations like quarter notes, half notes, and so on that indicate how long they last relative to the beat. Time signatures use a fraction to specify how many beats are in each measure and the note value that represents one beat. Simple meters divide each beat into two parts while compound meters divide each beat into three parts. Conductors use hand patterns to visually convey the meter to musicians.
Music symbols
The document defines and explains common music notation symbols used in sheet music including:
- The staff, which contains five lines and four spaces that correspond to notes of the diatonic scale. Clefs define which notes correspond to the lines and spaces.
- Dynamic symbols that indicate volume such as crescendo, diminuendo, pianissimo, piano, forte, and fortissimo.
- Accidental symbols like sharp, flat, and natural that raise or lower the pitch of notes.
- A fermata that indicates an indefinitely sustained note or rest.
- Note durations including whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes.
Musical form
This document discusses different musical forms such as binary form, ternary form, and rondo form. It instructs the reader to pick one of these forms to use when writing a song or piece. It also provides tips on incorporating contrast between sections, expanding the piece structure, adjusting tempo, panning instruments, and using dynamics like crescendos and decrescendos.
Form and structure
This document provides information about different musical forms and structures, including binary form, ternary form, question and answer form, and rondo form. It discusses how repetition and variation are used within musical structures to make the music engaging. Students are asked to practice composing short musical pieces using different forms, such as composing a question and answer conversation using percussion instruments or composing a contrasting B section in binary form. The goal is for students to learn about basic musical structures through hands-on composition activities.
Rhythm
Rhythm is the most basic element of music. Music has a regular rhythmic pattern called beats that are grouped into measures of four, three, or two beats. Rhythm is the movement done to the beat of music, such as clapping, tapping, or walking. Songs like "Hickory Dickory Dock" and "London Bridge is Falling Down" have rhythmic patterns shown through sticks below the lyrics that represent the beats to clap along to.

Song writing skills Chords
Chords are groups of notes made up of the 1st, 3rd, and 5th notes of a musical scale that create harmony. There are primary chords based on the 1st, 4th, and 5th notes of any scale, and secondary chords based on the other notes that provide color. Chords can be major or minor, and cadences using certain chord progressions end sections of music. Songwriting involves combining chords and melodies that use notes from the underlying scale.
Diminished dimensions
This article discusses using diminished seventh chords and their related chords to improvise creatively. It introduces a framework where improvisers can borrow notes from the diminished seventh chord one half-step above or below to alter the sound. This allows mixing and matching from related families of chords. Several examples are provided where a D diminished seventh chord is used, borrowing notes to create lines that move between dominant seventh and minor seventh flat five chords, all while retaining harmonic connection. The examples illustrate how improvisers can practice freedom within this framework to get interesting sonic results.
