A Note with a . next to it
Placing a dot to the right of a note increases its value by half
Pitch
How how or low a note is based on the frequency of a sound; NOT related to the volume of the sound
Melody
The way sounds of different pitches are arranged in order
Dissonance
When pitches are arranged outside outside the accepted rules of order causing an unpleasant sound; when someone plays the wrong note.
Sixteenth Rest
Quarter Note
1 beat
Music Notation
Elements of music that is represented symbolically
ESSAY QUESTION: What is the key signature/staff signature?
Ask yourself: "What symbols are coming before the first notes?" - Determine if the piece is marked with sharps (#) or flats (b); if no sharps or flats, the key signature is C major (or A minor)
Half Rest
Rest for 2 beats
lento
slow
Time Value
the duration for which a note or rest is held; the denominator at the beginning of a measure tells you how many beats a whole note gets
Music?
Music is the art of sound (and silence), and can be used to express both ideas and emotions.
Half Note
Represents 2 beats
allegro
fast
Quarter Rest
Rest for 1 beat
Whole Note
Represents 4 beats
Legato
beats/notes are flowing into each other
Meter
the way in which lines of music are divided into rhythmic units (think of measure); grouping of beats
Articulation
the way notes are separated or blended together within a rhythm; may be described by staccato or legato
Rhythm
The repetitive timing or "beat" of music
Harmony
The way sounds of different pitches are arranged in relation to each other.
Treble Clef
All beginning pieces given to children to sing will be within the treble clef; children's pitch normally falls within one octave found on the treble clef
Sharps
Structure
the overall way a piece of music is arranged
Traditional Instruments (categorized into what four categories?)
String, Wind (woodwind or brass), Percussion, Keyboard
Sixteenth Note
presto
very fast
piano
soft
Dynamics
the softness or loudness of a sound in terms of volume
Eighth Note
What types of textures?
Monophonic, Polyphonic, Homophonic, Heterophonic
Elements of Music?
Pitch, rhythm, timbre, texture, dynamics, and structure
Texture
the overall sound quality of a piece, affected by how voices are, or are not, combined
Whole Rest
Rest for 4 beats
Time signature ("meter signature")
Represented as a fraction; numerator tells us the number of beats in a measure; the denominator tells us what kind of note receives one beat (?)
Representing Pitch
Depends on where the note falls vertically on the staff ("E-G-B-D-F, Every Good Boy Does Fine"); ("F-A-C-E")
Tempo
How fast or slow a piece's rhythm
Minor
At least of the notes that's in the harmony being created is diminished (being flattened or going down)

Monophonic
one voice (melody) without accompaniment
Heteorphonic
Multiple voices perfoming same melodic line with slight variations; see in Asian
Basic Techniques for Teaching Music
1) Activities that involve simple, easy-to-learn instruments (ex: drum & xylophone); drums for teaching rhythm & xylophone for teaching pitches & basic melodies 2) Easy-to-remember lyrics with limited range requirements (lowest to highest note) 3) Activities that offer opportunities for children to physicalize the music (using your body to express the music that is being sung/played)
ESSAY QUESTION: Why would this [piece] be a good beginning music exercise for children?
