Leonard Smalls Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 11... As I only ever learned to read via the piano (gave up more than 35 years ago!) I couldn't read any clefs other than bass and treble. Haven't read music since, apart from my recent foray into Pictures at an Exhibition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjs1909 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Just a quick note on the clefs. Treble Clef points to G - second line from bottom (it is sometimes called a G Clef as it is in the shape of an elaborate G) Bass Clef points to F- Second line from top (it is sometimes called an F Clef as it is in the shape of an F) Alto and Tenor Clef both point to Middle C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirky Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 [quote name='Norris' timestamp='1433423554' post='2790959'] 14/15 - I got the 5 sharps key wrong [/quote] One trick for remembering the sharp key signatures is that the 'last' sharp (the one to the right of the key signature) is always the leading note of the major scale for the key signature, Hence, in this case, the 'last' sharp is A sharp hence the key is B major. With flats, the second 'last' flat in the key signature is always the major key. So with a key signature of B flat, E flat, A flat, D flat, the key is A flat major.

TorturedSaints Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 15/15. :-) Definitely some stuff in there that wasn't in O Level Music nor Grade V Theory exam! Mind you, they were a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philparker Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1434037884' post='2796186'] Quite surprised that someone who got the other questions right didn't know that! [/quote] Quite agree! We had many a debate in my guitar society about the difference between Rit and Rall, but no discussion whatsoever about plagal cadences!
