Explanation

A slur is a musical notation that indicates that the two notes should be played smoothly and connected without any separation between them. It is represented by a curved line above or below the notes. In this case, the presence of the slur suggests that the two notes should be played in a legato manner, smoothly transitioning from one note to the other without any interruption or break in sound.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Sharps" because in music notation, a sharp symbol (#) is used to raise the pitch of a note by a half step. Since the question mentions a picture, it is likely referring to a musical staff or sheet music where sharps are commonly used to indicate the key signature or individual notes that need to be played higher.

Submit
7. What does this sign represent?

Explanation

The sign represented by the correct answer, treble clef, is a symbol used in sheet music to indicate the pitch range of notes for instruments such as the piano, violin, and flute. It is also known as the G clef because it circles the line representing the note G on the staff. The treble clef is commonly used for higher-pitched instruments and voices, indicating that the notes written on or above the staff are to be played or sung in a higher register.

Submit
8. What note is this on the treble clef?

Explanation

The note on the treble clef is F. This is determined by the position of the note on the staff. The lines and spaces on the treble clef represent different pitches, and F is located on the space between the fourth and fifth lines of the staff.

The correct answer is Bass clef. The sign represents the bass clef, which is used in sheet music to indicate the lower range of musical notes. It is typically used for instruments such as the bass guitar, double bass, and tuba. The bass clef is characterized by a stylized letter "F" and is positioned on the fourth line of the staff.

Explanation

The notes of the lines on the staff of the treble clef are EGBDF. In the treble clef, the lines represent the notes E, G, B, D, and F from the bottom up. This is a common mnemonic device used to remember the order of the notes on the lines of the treble clef.

Submit
15. 2/4 time signature, the bottom 4 means....

Explanation

In a 2/4 time signature, the bottom number indicates that a quarter note receives one beat. This means that each measure is divided into two beats, with a quarter note taking up the entire beat. The other options are incorrect because a half note typically receives two beats and a quarter note usually receives one beat in a 4/4 time signature, not a 2/4 time signature.
