3 Lesson Combining and black keys Ne: Treble Clef. In this piece, the right hand plays in the treble clef. Ne: Bass Clef. In this piece, the left hand plays in the bass clef. LH RH Dr. Kathy Rabago

4 Lesson Combining and Black Keys Piano Ne: Time Signature indicates that there are beats per measure, ith the quarter note receiving the beat. LH RH Dr. Kathy Rabago

5 Notes Values A quarter note ( q ) = beat Complete these exercises. A half note ( h ) = beats Make sure each measure contains four beats. A hole note ( ) = beats. Each measure in the next to exercises is missing one note. Complete each measure by adding the appropriate note value. A B. This piece is missing bar lines. Fill in the missing barlines. Composer your on measure rhythm using quarter notes, half notes, and hole notes. You must use all three types of rhythms in the example belo.. Belo, compose a piece on the black keys for the right and left hands. Add finger numbers and rhythm.

50 0 Lesson 0: Dynamics.Dynamics in music tell us ho loud or soft to play. Forte = loud f. Piano = quiet. p. The letter m stands for "mezzo" hich means medium. mf = medium loud; mp = medium soft. F P

51 Lesson 0: Dynamics. Doubling a letter increases the intensity. ff = fortissimo = very loud. ƒ. pp = pianissimo = very quiet π. Crescendo means to gradually get louder.

54 Lesson 0: eighth notes. To eighth notes = one quarter note. Eight notes are counted as + +, etc. They can be beamed together.. Eighth notes can also have a flag instead of a beam. This usually occurs hen there is only one eighth note Play this exercise hands together ith the metronome set at quarter note = 80

55 Lesson : 6/8 time signature. In a 6/8 time signature, the eight note receives the beat, and there are 6 eighth notes per measure. A ne note duration, the dotted quarter note = eighth notes Try this 6/8 example ith your left hand in C Position Play this exercise hands together, counting to 6 for every measure. Ho many beats are in the last note

56 6 Lesson 8th notes and 6/8 time 8 6. Piano Ne: in a 6/8 time signature, the 8th note receives the beat. There are 6 beats in every measure. Dr. Kathy Rabago

57 7 Lesson Are you sleeping Piano Be careful of this fingering here! th finger must move to G, and then st finger stretches back don to C. Dr. Kathy Rabago

58 8 The rhythmic value of an eighth rest is one half of a beat. An eighth rest ( ) = / beat Eighth Notes and Eighth Rests Use a plus sign (+) hen riting the count for eighth notes and eighth rests.

63 6 Lesson : Staccato and Legato.A staccato symbol means to play the note very detached. Bounce off of the key quickly In this exercise, put your first finger (thumb) on A The opposite of staccato is legato. Legato means to play smoothly. It is indicated by a slur (a curved line)....

66 66 Slurs and Ties A slur is a curved line connection to or more notes of different pitches. Slurred passages should be played as smoothly as possible. A tie is a curved line hich connects to notes of the same pitch. Tied notes are played as one note. The rhythmic value is the sum of the to notes. = beats = beats = / beats. Circle the ties in this example.. Circle the slurs in this example..

72 7 Lesson 7: Sharps. A Sharp raises a note by a / step. When you see a sharp before a note, play the note that is a / step higher. This is sometimes a black key, but not alays. # #. When a sharp exists once in a measure, it applies for all of the same notes in the same measure. After the barline, the sharp is no longer valid. # # Both are F#s F (not F#). A natural sign cancels out a sharp. # n # #. A key signature at the beginning of a piece indicates hich notes have sharps. The key of G Maor has the note F# in it. In this key signature, play all Fs as F#s. # # These are played as F# notes because of the key signatures.

B b is / step loer than B C # D # F # G # A # b D E b G b A b B b C D E F G A B C C D E F G A B C It is easy to see, on the piano keyboard, ho the black keys to the right (/ step higher) of a note are sharps and the black keys to the left (/ step loer) of a note are flats.. Practice draing sharps by tracing over the guidelines. Dra six more in the remaining space.. Practice draing flats by tracing over the guidelines. Dra six more in the remaining space.. Write a flat sign in front of each note and then name the note. _ E b _. Write a flat sign in front of each note and then name the note..
