1.
A tone up from C is?
Correct Answer
B. D
Explanation
The correct answer is D. In music theory, when we move a tone up from C, we go to the next note in the musical alphabet, which is D.
2.
A tone up from G is B?
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
The question asks if a tone up from G is B. In music theory, a tone up from G would be A, not B. Therefore, the correct answer is False.
3.
A tone up from C# is?
Correct Answer
D. D#
Explanation
The answer is D# because when you move up a tone from C#, you go to the next note in the chromatic scale, which is D#.
4.
Semi-Tone up from Eb?
Correct Answer
B. E
Explanation
The given question asks for the note that is a semi-tone higher than Eb. In the given options, the note E is a semi-tone higher than Eb.
5.
A tone up from F# is?
Correct Answer
B. G#
Explanation
A tone up from F# is G#.
6.
A Semi-Tone up from B is C?
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
In music theory, a semitone is the smallest interval between two notes. Moving a semitone up from B would result in the note C. Therefore, the statement "A semitone up from B is C" is true.
7.
A Semi-Tone up from C# is D#?
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
A semi-tone up from C# is actually D, not D#. In music theory, a semi-tone refers to the smallest interval between two notes. Moving up a semi-tone from C# would result in the note D, not D#. Therefore, the correct answer is False.
8.
A Tone up from E is?
Correct Answer
A. F#
Explanation
A tone up from E means increasing the pitch by two whole steps. The note that is two whole steps higher than E is F#. Therefore, the correct answer is F#.
9.
A Tone up from Bb is?
Correct Answer
B. C
Explanation
The correct answer is C# because when you tone up from Bb, you move one half step higher in pitch. In music theory, a half step is the smallest interval between two notes. Therefore, by toning up from Bb, you would reach C#, which is one half step higher in pitch.
10.
A Semi-Tone up from D is?
Correct Answer
D. Eb
Explanation
A semi-tone up from D would be E. However, the given answer is Eb, which is a semi-tone down from E. This suggests that there might be an error in the options or in the question itself.
11.
A Tone Down from C is?
Correct Answer
D. Bb
Explanation
The correct answer is Bb. In music theory, when we say "a tone down from C," it means we are moving one whole step lower in pitch. In the musical alphabet, after C comes B, and to move one whole step lower from B, we go to Bb. Therefore, Bb is a tone down from C.
12.
A Tone Down from F is D#
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The statement "A Tone Down from F is D#" is true. In music theory, a tone refers to a whole step, which is equivalent to two half steps. Therefore, if we move down a whole step from F, we would arrive at the note D#. This is because F# is a half step above F, and moving down another half step gives us D#. Thus, the statement is correct.
13.
A Semi-Tone down from Ab is A?
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
A semi-tone down from Ab is G, not A. A semi-tone down means moving one half-step lower in pitch, so Ab to A would actually be a whole-tone down. Therefore, the correct answer is False.
14.
A Tone down from D is?
Correct Answer
C. C
Explanation
The correct answer is C because when we say "tone down from D," it means going down one step from D. In the musical scale, going down one step from D would give us the note C. Therefore, C is the correct answer.
15.
A Semi-Tone down from G is F?
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
A semi-tone down from G is actually G flat (Gb), not F. In music theory, a semi-tone is the smallest interval between two notes, and moving down a semi-tone means lowering the pitch by one half-step. Therefore, G flat is the correct answer as it is one half-step lower than G.
16.
A Semi-Tone down from F is Eb?
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
A Semi-Tone down from F is actually E, not Eb. In music theory, a semitone is the smallest interval between two notes. Moving a semitone down from F would result in the note E, not Eb, as Eb is a whole tone or two semitones down from F. Therefore, the correct answer is False.
17.
A Tone down from A is?
Correct Answer
C. G
Explanation
In music theory, a "tone down" refers to lowering a note by one whole step. In this case, starting from A, the note that is one whole step lower would be G. Therefore, the correct answer is G.
18.
A Tone down from B is?
Correct Answer
B. A
Explanation
The correct answer is A because when we say "tone down from B," it means going down one step from B, which would be A. Therefore, A is the correct answer.
19.
He's Dan Swinburne, music theory teacher by day, but at night he is a crime fighting vigilante?
Correct Answer
B. False, he's not that cool.
Explanation
The correct answer is "False, he's not that cool." This answer suggests that the person in question, Dan Swinburne, is not actually a crime fighting vigilante and therefore not as cool as the question implies.
20.
A Tone down from F is?
Correct Answer
B. Eb
Explanation
The correct answer is Eb. In music theory, a tone (or whole step) is an interval of 2 semitones (or half steps) added together. So, a tone down from F would be the note that is two semitones below F, which is E flat (Eb). In this context, Eb is the correct answer.
