1 Keys: identifying 'DO' Letter names can be determined using "Face" or "AceG" &c E C A F G E C A & # # # # In a sharp key, the last sharp is the seventh scale degree ( ti ). Therefore, the key will be one letter up from the last sharp. ( Add "sharp' after the letter if it is sharp in the key signature) When there is only one flat the key is F. When there are no sharps or flats, the key is C. & b b b b b In a flat key, the second to the last flat is the key. ('do'). Since this note is already flat in the key signature, it will have 'flat' after the letter to identify the key. For the following examples, identify the key and write in the note for "Do". & # # # # # # # # # # ## example: D & b b b b b b b b b b NOTICE THE CLEF CHANGE # # # b b b b b b # # # ## # b b b b b

2 Advanced practice with keys and scale degrees For the following examples, identify the key, then write the scale above the solfege and numbers, and add letters above your notes. Then, write solfege and letters for the melody that follows. & bb b # b b b b & # # # letter & b b & # # & # # # # & b b b b

3 Sixteenth notes and dotted eights r r 1 e & a 1 e & a Flag Beam A quarter note can divide into two eighths and subdivide into four sixteenth notes. Two sixteenth notes tied together form an eighth note. Eighth notes have a single flag or beam. Sixteenth notes have a double flag or beam. The notes are connected by a "beam" to total up to a quarter note value that can be counted 1e&a. Write 1e&a 2e&a under each measure. Make sure to line up the numbers directly under the notes to which they apply, and make sure that each measures begins with number

5 Sixteenth notes and dotted eights. A quarter note can divide into two eighths and subdivide into four sixteenth notes. Two sixteenth notes tied together form an eighth note. Three sixteenth notes tied together form a dotted eighth note. When you beam sixteenth and eights together, make sure that sixteenth beams only attach to sixteenth notes. Write the following tied sixteenth notes as eights, dotted eights, and sixteenths with no ties. Write the following rhythms as sixteenth notes with ties....

6 J J 6 Counting in and other compound meters 8 In compound meter time signatures, divide the top number by three to get the number of beats, combine 3 of the notes represented by the bottom number to get the beat duration 6 In 8, the dotted quarter note gets the beat, and the following is true. qk (dotted quarter note) 1 beat h k (dotted half note) 2 beat ( the dot adds 1/2 of the value of the note, so a dotted quarter note is the value of 3 eights) Each beat divides into three eights,which are beamed together to show the beat. The beat often divides into a quarter followed by an eighth note: Long-short. D Write the counts under each measure. # # J Eb G b b b 8 6. # J. J J J. J J J. J. Œ. Bb b b J J.
