Path
What to study before Score navigation
Repeats, endings, da capo and coda: the marks that say in what order the music is read. Below, the concepts that come before, in the order in which one explains the next. Signed in, you see the same path minus what you already hold: your path.
Properties of sound
The four properties every musical sound has at once: duration, intensity, pitch and timbre.
Note
The seven pitch names, and the sign that puts one of them on the page.
The staff
Five lines and four spaces, numbered upward, where the height of a sign means the height of a sound.
Clef
The sign that gives one line its name, and through it every other line and space.
Note values and rests
The figures that say how long a sound lasts, and the rests that say the same about silence.
The measure
Music divided into small parts of equal or variable duration, separated by barlines.
