Chromatic scale The chromatic scale is a symmetrical scale with all pitches spaced a half step apart. Use sharps for the ascending scale, flats for the descending scale C. Key signatures The key signature written at the beginning of the staff shows which pitches are to be sharp or flat consistently throughout the piece and helps determine the key or tonal center (tonality) D. Sight singing: Solfege syllables Solmization is a system of designating notes by the solfege (sol-fa) syllables. Solfeggio is the term for the method of sight siging using these syllables: Do=1, Re=2, MeMi=3, Fa=4, So=5, LeLa=6, TeTi=7, Skills harmonics are determining factors in the categorization of musical genres.

Rhythms: Clapping, counting, quarter, eighth, half, whole notes and rests F. Notating rhythms Music notation shows how long one note lasts in relation to others Macrobeats are those beats that one arbitrarily feels to be the longest. In most cases, macrobeats are paired: one macrobeat naturally “goes with” a succeeding macrobeat of equal or unequal duration. In dancing to music, persons normally step naturally to each pair of macrobeats with one foot followed by the other. Microbeats are shorter than macrobeats and are derived from the equal temporal division of macrobeats. In most cases, macrobeats are divided into either two or three microbeats of equal duration Skills Board Of Education Approval 3/19/14 Assessment Suggested Resources E1.
