In the Middle Ages, the “hippest” song going was the Gregorian chant . It was a simple melody originating from the Jewish temple. It was named after Pope Gregory.
The repeat sign was first used in the Gregorian chants. It was indicated by a Roman numeral "iij" following a section of the song.

Repeat signs function like a road map. They help the singer maneuver their way through a song as smoothly and quickly as a GPS!
Notice how the
different signs tell us which direction
we’re heading
and where to turn!

The most common repeat sign is the “single” repeat. The Single repeat signs tell the singer to sing from the beginning until they get to the repeat sign.
The repeat sign directs you to go back to the beginning and sing again – then keep going.
So, you only repeat the section 2 times!

Da Segno al Fine: means “to the sign”
When you see the Da Segno al Fine Sign you should go back to the sign instead of going to the beginning like the D.C al Fine Sign and play through until the FINE.

When we talk about a coda in musical terms, we can assume that we are talking about the ending of something. However, let’s look at a few of the specific ways in which the term "coda" is used, in order to clearly define it.
This symbol is encountered mainly in modern music, not works by classical composers such as Haydn or Mozart. In other words, it wasn’t created until after the 1770’s!
The instruction "To Coda" means that once you reach that point during the final repetition, you immediately jump to the separate section headed with the coda symbol.
The key is to look for the Coda symbols – one is a starting point and the second is an ending point.
