Theory Study Guide 1. Define “Staff”: 5 lines and 4 spaces 2. Define Bar line: Vertical line on staff that divides staff into measures 3. Define a measure: Space between 2 bar lines 4. The musical symbol indicating the meter at the beginning of music which tells you how many beats per measure and what note gets one beat is called: Time Signature 5. The musical symbol that indicates the end of a song is called: Double Barline 6. The top number of the TIME SIGNATURE tells us: How many beats per measure 7. The bottom number of the TIME SIGNATURE tells us: What note gets 1 beat 8. The nickname for Treble Clef is: G Clef 9. The nickname for Bass Clef is: F Clef 10. What are the names of the 5 treble clef lines? EGBDF 11. What are the names of the 4 Treble clef spaces? FACE 12. What are the notes to the musical alphabet? ABCDEFG 13. Name the 5 lines of the Bass clef. GBDFA 14. Name the 4 spaces of the Bass clef. ACEG 15. What are the names of the 5 alto clef lines? FACEG 16. What are the names of the 4 alto clef spaces? GBDF 17. What is the name of a symbol that raises a note a half step? Sharp (#) 18. What is the name of a musical symbol that lowers a note a half step? Flat (b) 19. A musical symbol that cancels flats and sharps is called: Natural 25. p Piano or Soft 20. A curved line connecting two of the SAME notes is called: Tie 26. mf Mezzo forte or Medium Loud 21. The term “Dynamics” has to deal with: Volume 22. The word “Tempo” means: Speed (How fast or slow) 23. mp Mezzo piano or medium soft 24. f Forte or Loud 27. D.C. al Fine: Go back to beginning and stop at “Fine” 27. What is the name of a musical symbol that lowers a note a half step? Flat 28. A musical symbol that cancels flats and sharps is called: Natural 29. A curved line over two or more notes of different pitches is called: Slur Theory Study Guide 30. The word “Tempo” means: Speed (How fast or slow) 47. A succession of pitches going higher or lower like a ladder is called a SCALE 31. The key signature for C Major and A Minor is: all naturals; C major arpeggio is CEGC; A minor arpeggio is ACEA 48. A group of three notes played in the space of two notes is called a TRIPLET 32. The key signature for G Major and E Minor is: F sharp; G major arpeggio is GBDG; E minor arpeggio is EGBE 33. The key signature for D Major and B Minor is: F sharp & C sharp; D major arpeggio is DF#AD; B minor arpeggio is BDF#B 34. The key signature for A Major and F# Minor is: F#, C#, G#; A major arpeggio is AC#EA; F# minor arpeggio is F#AC#F# 35. The key signature for B-Flat major and G minor is: B-Flat & E-Flat; B-flat arpeggio is B-flat DF Bflat; g minor arpeggio is GB-flatDG 36. The key signature for F Major and D Minor is: B-Flat; F major arpeggio is FACF; D minor is DFAD 37. The chromatic scale includes only what kind of intervals: Half steps 49. In ¾ time, a dotted half note gets how many beats? THREE 50. A scale made up of five notes is called a PENTATONIC scale 51. The symbol for cut time is C (with a vertical line through it) 52. The minor scale begins on the 6th note of its relative major 53. The term for gradually getting softer is diminuendo or decrescendo 54. How fast or slow the steady beat is counted in music is called TEMPO 55. Two dots before a double bar is a REPEAT sign 56. In 6/8 time a dotted quarter note gets ONE beat 38. A steady recurring pulse is called: Beat 57. The term for a detached, short note is STACCATO 39. The distance between two bar lines is called a: measure 58. Two staffs connected by a bracket on the side is called a GRAND STAFF 40. Silences in music are called: rests 59. Notes are symbols placed on lines and spaces representing high and low sounds called PITCHES 41. A dot increases the value of a note by HALF the value of the note it follows 42. Eighth notes are sometimes grouped together with BEAMS 43. Symbols at the beginning of each staff that identify a set of pitches is called a CLEF 44. Notes that extend above or below the staff use LEDGER lines 45. The pattern of whole and half steps (WWHWWWH) identifies a MAJOR scale 46. The distance between two notes is called an INTERVAL
