Learning and Identifying Notes by Sebastian Oliveira https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws en-us 2019-02-08 03:29:22 UTC 2024-10-15 02:29:28 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/351354966/ad232d056a8a559000a5140e3db6d6b6/note.png Learning Notes SebasOlive https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/329064599 Notes and notation sit at the core of music production. This board will hopefully answer some basic questions you may have for notation.]]> 2019-02-08 03:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/329064599 Bass Clef Notes SebasOlive https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/329066863 Each space and line in a measure with a bass clef represents a note. There are some mnemonics to help remember which notes are where. The image below shows each bass clef note, separated by lines (left) and spaces (right). The mnemonics used to remember the notes work from bottom to top.
Lines: Good Boys Do Fine Always - GBDFA
Spaces: All Cows Eat Grass - ACET]]> 2019-02-08 03:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/329066863 Treble Clef Notes SebasOlive https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/329067008 Just like with the bass clef, a measure with a treble clef has mnemonics to help identify the notes on the staff. The image below shows each treble clef note, separated by lines (left) and spaces (right). These mnemonics also work from bottom to top.
Lines: Every Good Boy Does Fine - EGBDF
Spaces: FACE - FACE]]> 2019-02-08 03:52:49 UTC https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/329067008 Note Identification SebasOlive https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/329067170 Each clef has another trick to help sort out where the notes lie. Musical notes span from A to G. A note range between two of the same letter is called an octave (ABCDEFGA. The sequence repeats alphabetically moving from bottom to top. The secret lies within the respective clef symbols.  ]]> 2019-02-08 03:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/329067170 Treble Identification SebasOlive https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/329067342 In the treble clef, the note G is on the second line from the bottom. The treble clef symbol wraps itself around the G line. ]]> 2019-02-08 03:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/329067342 Ledger lines SebasOlive https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/329067517 Sometimes notes go beyond the five lines and four spaces. Those notes go on to Ledger Lines. The ledger lines continue the pattern of notes in both directions. Below shows "middle C", representing the C4 key in the middle of a grand piano. ]]> 2019-02-08 03:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/329067517 Time Values: Notes SebasOlive https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/329067748 In music, there are different kinds of notes with different time values. The time value is determined by how many beats that note plays for. image rights: plankchoir.weebly.com]]> 2019-02-08 03:59:51 UTC https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/329067748 Dots SebasOlive https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/329067977 Dotted rhythms add to the time value of a note. When a dot is placed next to a note, it's time value increases by half of the notes original value. 

ex. In the image below, there is a dotted half note on the left. The half note plays for 2 beats by itself. The dot adds half of the original value to the note (1 in this instance). Therefore, the dotted half note plays for 3 beats (2 from HN + 1 from dot). The dotted half note is equal in value of the notes on the right (2 from HN + 1 from QN).

The bass clef symbol has two dots that straddle the F line. ]]> 2019-02-15 21:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/331919348 Stem Direction (cont.)

SebasOlive https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/331925838 Notes that are connected have their own rule. Within a set of connected notes, the note farthest from the middle line determines the direction. ]]> 2019-02-15 22:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/SebasOlive/reidr5jrozws/wish/331925838
