8 Now that you are in Advanced Band, we ll be getting to play some much more interesting and exciting music! One thing that makes this music more interesting is this useful note value... THE DOTTED QUARTER NOTE!!!! NOTE!!! This is NOT the same as a dot placed UNDER a note. You remember what that means...don t you? Hopefully you remember from beginning band that dot AFTER a note adds half the value to the note. So, a dotted quarter note is one and a half beats long! Ok, that s great Mr. Beall but WHAT DOES THAT SOUND LIKE?!?!? Well, let s start with an easy rhythm you already know and work from there. Clap and count this: Now, how would it sound if we tied the first three eighth notes together like this?: THAT is how to correctly count a dotted quarter note because... is exactly the same as this So...A dotted quarter note sounds the same as three 8th notes tied together. If a composer wants you to play this: They will most likely write it like this: Try it a few more times. The timing of THIS 8th NOTE is very important!! When do you think you should play (or clap) it?

9 Have you got it? Let s try adding a note on the next downbeat. How do you think this will sound?: and this... Once you can clap and count, and then play those on your instrument, you are ready for some examples. Here they are! Being able to perform these is absolutely required in order to: Please do the following to get this handout checked off on your projects: Label in the beats with a pencil (remember that?) Clap and count out loud (slowly!) Play on your instrument in a steady tempo (try practicing with a metronome!)

10 Flute Chromatic Scale Descending (going down) Chromatic Scale: as F# as C# (pink y only!) Remember, the flute doesn t know what it is doing. It can only reproduce what is in your head. If you can t sing and finger then YOU don t know what you are doing (just mindlessly guessing) and the flute itself has no chance! Ascending (going up) Chromatic Scale: as Bb pinky only! as Eb as Ab as Bb B not Bb! Have you noticed that some fingerings can have two different note names? These are called enharmonic spellings. Examples are: A# is the same as Bb G# is the same as Ab F# is the same as Gb Eb is the same as D# Can you think of one more? (Hint: pinky only! )
