2. Tempo markings indicate:

Explanation

Tempo markings indicate the speed of a musical composition. They provide instructions to the performer on how fast or slow the piece should be played. Different tempo markings such as allegro, adagio, or presto, convey specific speed indications to guide the musician in interpreting the music accurately. By following the tempo markings, musicians can maintain a consistent pace throughout the piece, ensuring a cohesive and coherent performance.

Submit
3. When the key signature contains flats, the following clue can be helpful in finding Do.

Explanation

The key signature containing flats indicates that the piece is in a specific key, and the flats in the key signature represent the notes that are consistently lowered throughout the piece. In this context, the statement "The farthest flat is Fa" suggests that the flat note that is farthest to the right in the key signature is Fa. This is a helpful clue because it allows us to determine the position of the note Fa within the key signature, which in turn helps us identify the other notes in the key.

Submit
4. When the key signature contains sharps, the following clue can be helpful in finding Do.

Explanation

The key signature contains sharps, which means that the last sharp in the key signature represents the note Ti. This is because the order of sharps in a key signature follows the mnemonic "Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle," which represents the notes F, C, G, D, A, E, B. The last sharp in the key signature is therefore the note Ti.

Submit
5. Where is Do?  Use the following format: "Space _" OR "Line _" OR "Space above/below the staff"

Explanation

Do is located on the first line of the staff, which can also be referred to as the 1st line or the top space. It can also be identified as the 4th space or the fourth space from the bottom. In terms of musical notation, Do can be represented by the note Eb or E flat. Therefore, the answer includes options such as "first line," "1st line," "top space," "4th space," "fourth space," "Eb," "line 1," "space 4," "e-flat," and "E Flat."

Submit
6. Where is Do? Use the following format: "Space _" OR "Line _" OR "Space above/below the staff"

Explanation

The correct answer is "first space, 1st space, fifth line, top line, 5th line, F, space 1, line 5." This answer suggests that the note "Do" is located in various positions on the staff, including the first space, the fifth line, and space 1. The note "Do" can also be represented by the letter "F" in some musical notations.

Submit
7. Dynamic markings indicate:

Explanation

Dynamic markings indicate the level of volume in music. They provide instructions to the performers on how loud or soft a particular section or passage should be played. These markings help to convey the intended expression and emotion of the music to the audience.

Submit
8. Select all the options that describe Do.

Explanation

The options "third space," "line below the staff," and "C" all describe the musical note "Do." In music notation, "Do" is represented by a note placed on the third line of the staff, in the third space, or by the letter "C."

Submit
9. Where is Do?  Use the following format: "Space _" OR "Line _" OR "Space above/below the staff" Hint: The rule stays the same, even in Bass Clef!

Explanation

The correct answer for the question "Where is Do?" can be any of the following options: second line, 2nd line, space above the staff, space on top of the staff, Bb, line 2, B-Flat, b flat. These options indicate that the note "Do" is located on the second line of the staff or represented by the note Bb. This rule applies regardless of the clef being used, including the Bass Clef.

Submit
10. Where is Do?  Use the following format: "Space _" OR "Line _" OR "Space above/below the staff"

Explanation

Submit
11. The interval between Do and Mi is a fourth. (Remember: an interval is the distance between two pitches.)

Explanation

The correct answer is False. The interval between Do and Mi is actually a third, not a fourth. In a major scale, the distance between the first and third notes is a major third, which is equivalent to two whole steps. Therefore, the statement that the interval between Do and Mi is a fourth is incorrect.

Submit
12. Which of the following markings are actual music symbols? (Check all that apply.)

Explanation

The correct answer choices are mp, f, pp, sfz, and ff. These markings are actual music symbols used to indicate dynamics (mp, f, pp, ff) and articulations (sfz). mp stands for mezzo piano, which means moderately soft. f stands for forte, which means loud. pp stands for pianissimo, which means very soft. sfz stands for sforzando, which means a sudden strong accent. ff stands for fortissimo, which means very loud. These markings are commonly used in sheet music to give instructions to the performers regarding the volume and intensity of the music.

Submit
13. The time signature is 4/4. How many beats does a quarter note get?

Explanation

In a 4/4 time signature, the top number indicates that there are 4 beats in each measure, and the bottom number indicates that a quarter note receives one beat. Therefore, a quarter note gets 1 beat.

Submit
14. Where is Do?  Use the following format: "Space _" OR "Line _" OR "Space above/below the staff"

Explanation

15. The solfege syllables that create an ascending NATURAL MINOR scale are:

Explanation

The given solfege syllables create an ascending NATURAL MINOR scale starting from the note "la". The natural minor scale has a specific pattern of whole and half steps, which is represented by the solfege syllables. In this case, the pattern of the natural minor scale starting from "la" is whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step. The given solfege syllables "la-ti-do-re-mi-fa-so-la" follow this pattern and therefore create an ascending natural minor scale starting from "la".

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is "second space, 2nd space, Ab, space 2, a-flat, A Flat". This answer indicates that the note "Do" is located on the second space of the staff. It is also referred to as the 2nd space, Ab, space 2, a-flat, or A Flat.

Submit
17. Where is Do?  Use the following format: "Space _" OR "Line _" OR "Space above/below the staff" Hint: The rule stays the same, even in Bass Clef!

Explanation

In music notation, the location of a note on the staff is determined by the line or space it occupies. The third space refers to the space between the third and fourth lines of the staff. In this case, the note "Do" is located in the third space. This is the same rule that applies in both treble and bass clef notation.

Submit
18. The director's hand is palm down and moving from high to low.  Which dynamic marking is the director conveying?

Submit
19. The director's hand is palm up and moving from low to high.  Which dynamic marking is the director conveying?

Explanation

The director's hand movement from low to high with a palm up position indicates a crescendo. A crescendo is a dynamic marking that signifies a gradual increase in volume or intensity.

Submit
20. Where is Do? Use the following format: "Space _" OR "Line _" OR "Space above/below the staff" Hint: The rule stays the same, even in Bass Clef!

Explanation

In music notation, the location of a note is determined by its position on the staff. The staff consists of five lines and four spaces. The lines and spaces are numbered from bottom to top. The first space refers to the space between the bottom line and the second line from the bottom. Therefore, the correct answer is "first space" or "space 1". This rule applies to both treble clef and bass clef.
