How to Learn The Patterns. 1. Position on the Stave. With the sharp keys, the general “up-down” pattern is the same for treble, bass and alto clef. However, tenor clef is quite different and has to be learnt separately. With the flat keys, all the clefs follow the same basic “up-down” pattern. Try to memorise the patterns.
Key. When we write music which mostly uses notes from the scale of C major and sounds good finished with a C, we say that the music is “in the key of C major” or “in C a major”. Here’s a short tune in C major: For ABRSM Grade One Music Theory, you only need to know about these three key signatures: G major, D major and F major, and ...
The time signature chart also shows you which are simple and compound time signatures. Simple time signatures have a main beat which divides into two 1st level sub-beats. The top number is 2, 3 or 4. Compound time signatures have a main beat which divides into three 1st level sub-beats. The top number is 6 (duple), 9 (triple) or 12 (quadruple).
Key signatures have to be written very carefully. You need to make sure the flats and sharps are written. in the right order. in the right position. In the grade three ABRSM music theory exam, you need to be able to write and understand key signatures with up to 4 sharps or 4 flats. In the grade three TRINITY music theory exam, you need to be ...
In this lesson we will learn about the four keys that have five sharps or flats in the key signature. They are: The sharps, in order, are F#, C#, G#, D# and A#. Here are the key signatures in treble and bass clef: The flats, in order, are Bb, Eb, Ab, Db and Gb: Don’t forget that to write a key signature correctly, the flats/sharps have to be ...
Key Signatures Chart Here are all the key signatures up to 7 sharps/flats in the four clefs – treble, bass, alto and tenor. ABRSM5 / Scales and Keys / Trinity5 / Trinity6.
Key Signatures and Modes. The modern key signature system is closely linked to major/minor keys. We all know for example, a key signature of Bb and Eb represents either Bb major or G minor. This key signature system, however, does not work so well for modal scales. There are two inherent problems.
To work out the time signature, add up the note values in one bar, counting a crotchet as 1. Remember that a quaver = ½ a crotchet, a semiquaver = ¼, a minim=2 crotchets and a semibreve = 4. Also, don’t forget that a dot increases the length of a note by half of its value. When you are practising, write them out, like this: Count up the ...
The bass clef looks like this: The two dots on the bass clef are placed either side of the line where we can find the note F, so it’s also known as the “F clef”. This is the first F below middle C: The bass clef is used by lots of low-pitched instruments, such as the tuba (pictured), bassoon and double bass.
