Music Fact Rap What is music? Organized sound, where melody and harmony and rhythm abound.
First there’s a clef, usually treble or bass. It tells you which notes are on the lines or in the space.
The time signature will
show you a beat, while the staff keeps everything nice and neat.
The key signature may have sharps or flats. Major or minor? It will tell you that.
Don’t forget to check the tempo; like Largo, Andante, Allegro or Presto.
Then, see what the composer wrote: whole, half, quarter or eighth note.
Musical notes go from A up to G, (a bit confusing I must agree)
We organize notes into a scale, with whole steps and half steps that tell the tale.
Dynamics indicate what volume you should play. Soft is piano, loud is forte.
Conductors are necessary I have found, for they help to organize all the sound.
Reading music measure by measure is certain to give you lots of pleasure.
