1) The document provides instructions and information for music theory homework, including notation worksheets, key signatures, scales, and relative minor keys. 2) Students are directed to practice note recognition and duration on an online music theory site and write out the structures of songs with their section lengths. 3) Key signatures are explained, with the order of sharps and flats given to remember which notes are in each key, and how to determine relative minor keys.

1. Musicianship 2/1

2. Homework from Last Week
• Notation Worksheets
• As we have done for these songs, choose
another song and write out its structure, by
naming sections and giving their length.

3. • www.musictheory.net
• Really interactive way of getting your note
recognition up to scratch.

4. Note Duration

Compound Time

6. • 1 – Root
• 2 – Super-tonic
• 3 – Mediant
• 4 – Sub-Dominant
• 5 – Dominant
• 6 – Sub-Mediant
• 7 – Leading Tone

7. Interval Structure of a major scale:
T - T - S - T - T - T - S
Open Logic – Empty Project – Software
Instrument
Use the piano/your ears/the above structure
to write out the note names of these major
scales: D G Bb

8. Key Signatures are used so you don’t have
to keep writing accidentals unnecessarily.
The D major scale has two sharp notes, F#
and C#, so the key of D major is indicated
like this:

9. The sharps in different key signatures are always
arranged in this order as they are needed:
F C G D A E B
This can be remembered like this:
Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle

10. Flats are arranged in the exact opposite
order:
B E A D G C F
Battle Ends And Down Goes Charles’
Father

11. Sharp Keys:
C major – No Sharps
G Major – F#
D Major – F#, C#
A Major - F#, C#, G#
E Major - F#, C#, G#, D#
B Major - F#, C#, G#, D#, A#
F# Major - F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, E#
C# Major - F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, E#, B#
N.B. The final sharp in a key signature is the Leading
Note.

12. Flat Keys:
C major – No Sharps
F Major – Bb
BbMajor– Bb, Eb
Eb Major- Bb, Eb, Ab
Ab Major- Bb, Eb, Ab, Db
Db Major - Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb
Gb Major - Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb
Cb Major – Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb, Fb
N.B. The penultimate flat is the tonic of the major key:
Ab Major - Bb, Eb, Ab, Db
Gb Major - Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Cb

13. Relative Keys: the relative minor is the sub-mediant
(6th note) of the major key.
C major – A minor
G major – E minor
D major – B minor
A major – F# minor
E major – C# minor
B major – G# minor
F major – D minor
Bb major – G minor
Eb major – C minor
Ab major – F minor

14. • Introduce Ensemble Assessment for end
of October via moodle.

15. • Notation/Key signature re-test is on
Tuesday 8th October. Use lecture notes
and other recommended resources
(musictheory.net, Harmony and Theory
etc.) to get your stuff together!
Anything less than 70% on the test will
result in possible multiple retests until you
reach the standard.
