T here are seven notes . Each note have

a different frequency or a different

height of sound.

DO-RE-MI-FA –SOL-LA -SI

Notes are organized in scales with an

ascending or descending order.

Ascending scale (Low- High)

Descending order ( High- Low)

Do`-SI-LA-SOL-FA-MI-RE-DO

To write the notes we use the stave.

Staves are made up of five lines and four

spaces. Each line and space represents

where a particular note will fall.

Short lines that appear with notes written

above or below a stave are called

ledger line.

The cleff is a musical symbol written at

the beggining of the stave to know the

name of the notes.

The treble cleff is placed on the second

line of the stave which means that note

Sol is placed on that line.

The difference in frequency among

notes is measured in tones and

halftones.

Our natural scale ( from Do to Do´ ) is

composed of 5 tones and 2 halftones.

Do- tone- Re- tone- Mi- halftone- Fa-

tone- Sol- tone- La- tone- Si- halftone-

Do´.

An interval is the distance between two

notes.

Intervals are always counted from the

lower note to the higher note.

If the notes are sounded successively , it

is a melodic interval.

If the notes are sounded simultaneously ,

then it is a harmonic interval.

Melodic intervals can have ascending or

descending order.

Sharp, flat and natural are signs that

modify the frequency of notes in a

halftone.

A sharp sign means that the note is one

halftone higher than the natural note.

A flat sign means that the note is one

halftone lower than the natural note.

A natural sign is used to cancel a sharp

or flat sign.

Enharmonic notes are those with

different name but the same sound.

A diatonic scale is a seven note

musical scale comprising five tones

and two halftones.

Major scale (M): Do natural

Do- tone- Re- tone- Mi- halftone- Fa-

tone- Sol- tone- La- tone- Si- halftone-

Do`.

Minor scale (m): La natural.

LA- tone-SI-halftone-Do-tone-RE-tone-

Mi-halftone-FA-tone-Sol-tone-La.

Compás: división del tiempo en partes

iguales.

Numerador: número de tiempos

Denominador: figura unidad de tiempo

Music is often divided up into units

measures or bars.

Simple time measure, consist of two

numerals, one stacked above the other:

A)The top number tells us how many beats.

B) The bottom number tells us what kind of

note gets the beat.

The most common simple time signatures

are 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4.
