Annoying Twit Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I didn't I thought that only the last two chords make the cadence, I see that isn't the case. And I got Rallentendo wrong, though in hindsight I shouldn't have, given that I do know all the others, so should have identified the one correct option. D'oh. And I didn't recognise the symbol in question 14. Is that a double sharp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Yep, IIRC D## (E). (I can't seem to get the correct double sharp symbol on my iPad). To be honest, I had to scratch my head with the Cadence (Thinking the same as you). Edited June 3, 2015 by lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub_Drop Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I got 14 out of 15 because i misread the diminished seventh as dominant seventh. I knew it was diminished but my english reading skills weren't obviously up to scratch as I clicked the wrong answer. Misjudgement on my part. Gutted.

neepheid Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I read notes at a rate of one note every 3ish seconds (yes, I recite every time in my head the appropriate amount of Every Good Boy or FACE or All Cows Eat Grass or (my favourite) Greedy Buggers Deserve F All). I don't think this is meant for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 9, although having to work out what every note was from middle C means I'm rather slow on note recognition and I've never encountered the alto clef before (otherwise I'd have crept into double figures).

toneknob Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) 11/15, incl some guessing. Most mistakes from not knowing what the funky clef is that's neither bass nor treble. Any clues? Edited June 3, 2015 by toneknob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntLockyer Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Considering I'm just learning this stuff again (I stopped in the 80s) I'm happy with my 10 out of 15. I knew the alto clef but not where the notes were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razze06 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 6/15, didn't know the alto and tenor clef, and takes me forever to recognise the notes (only learn music reading at school, and that was loooong time ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lojo Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I would fail badly if I took the test I will however play every note correctly at my gig on friday , and hopefully with good timing and dynamics (or whatever the real word for that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 15/15 for me, although I should have seeing as I teach music.... I'll admit to having a head start on the intervals between clefs too as the music department I went to used a similar exercise to work out the code for the keypad to enter!

ChunkyMunky Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 12. I know sod all about cadences but can thankfully remember that the line in between the voila clef is middle C. *phew* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Flute is my first instrument and I used to play a lot of jazz on it so my sight reading (on treble clef) and music theory is really good. My problem is that I've never bothered to learn bass clef, and I've never played bass in a band that required me to read. So from a bass point of view my reading is awful.
