Analyzes and illustrate the different notes and rests and their corresponding measure by clapping his/her hands.Identify different staffs, accidentals, and scales of different pitches.

INTRODUCTIONAccording to Merriam – Webster dictionary (1828), music is the science

or art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity. Music, as define by Levi R. Bryant, is not as a language, but as a marked-based, problem-solving method such as mathematics. But all in all, music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound and silence.

For some people, music is part of a leisure time or music for them is for entertainment. They listens music to pass time by. But some of us here treat music as part of their lives. These people really take music seriously and they really love music so much, in which we call them “music lovers.” These people have high dreams such as singer, composer, music producer, instrumentalist, and etc.

Before these make their dreams come true, some of them go through music lessons and class to have more knowledge about it. They go from the very basic to more advantage and complex stage. And as for a beginner like you, this chapter will only focus on the very basic of music. So grab your pen and paper and let’s begin!

OBJECTIVESAt the end of this module, you, as a learner, are expected to:

Acquire knowledge about the basic terms of music. Distinguish different pitches with the use of chronic signs. Analyzes and illustrate the different notes and rests and their

corresponding measure. Able to read a musical notation.

PRE – ASSESSMENTTo assess what you know about introduction to music, answer the

following activities.

PART I. PICTURE, PICTURE!

You will need:

Pictures depicting some basic terms in music.

Do as directed:

1. Divide the class into three groups.2. Each group will take turns in trying to answer what is asked in the

questions.

Here are the questions:

WHAT TO KNOW

INTRODUCTION TO MUSIC

Notes – A symbol used to express a musical sound or tone. The first note of the scale is called KEYNOTE.

5th Line4th Line Staff – Five lines and four spaces to indicate

the pitch 3rd Line (high or low) of a musical tone2nd Line1st Line

Line Note – So called when the line runs through the middle of the note.

Space Note – So called when the note is between the lines on a space.

Ledger Lines – Short lines written below or above the staff.

The treble clef or G – clef indicates the right half of the piano keyboard. It is also indicates melody. The treble clef notes are shown below:

The bass clef or the F – clef indicates the left half of the piano keyboard. It is also indicates harmony. These are the bass clef notes:

Music is divided into MEASURES, each usually containing a similar number of beats or counts. Each measure is separated by a BAR LINE. A DOUBLE BAR LINE shows the end of a piece. There are two types of measure: REGULAR MEASURE, which means the beats are complete; and IRREGULAR MEASURE, which means the beats are incomplete and the next beat will be found on the last measure.

Rests – are period of silence.

Time Signature – tells how many beats are in each measure of a piece. For instance, the upper number (3) means count three to each measure and the lower number (4) means every quarter note receives 1 count, every half note receives 2 counts, and every whole receives 4 counts.

Kinds of Notes and Rests

Activity: In each note and rest consist of beats. In this activity, you have to clap your hand and count according to the notes and rests shown.

Classification of Notes

Ascending Notes Tie Notes

Descending Notes Slur Notes

Repeated Notes

Chromatic Signs

Sharp – means that you have to raise the note by ½ steps.

Flat – means that you have to lower the note by ½ steps.

Double Sharp – you have to raise the note by 1 step.

Double Flat – you have to lower the note by 1 step.

Natural - used to cancel a flat or sharp from either a preceding note or the key signature.

Pitches – these are letters that is used in scales and naming notes (A, B, C, D, E, F, G)

So-fa Syllables – these are used in scales and naming notes (do, re, mi, fa, so, la ti, do)

Scales – composed of 8 notes.

Key Signature - is a set of sharp or flat symbols placed together on the staff.

Different ScalesC Scale (Treble Clef) C Scale (Bass Clef)

G Scale (Treble Clef) G Scale (Bass Clef)

D Scale (Treble Clef) D Scale (Bass Clef)

A Scale (Treble Clef) A Scale (Bass Clef)

E Scale (Treble Clef) E Scale (Bass Clef)

B Scale (Treble Clef) B Scale (Bass Clef)

F# Scale (Treble Clef) F# Scale (Bass Clef)

F Scale (Treble Clef) F Scale (Bass Clef)

Bb Scale (Treble Clef) Bb Scale (Bass Clef)

Eb Scale (Treble Clef) Eb Scale (Bass Clef)

Ab Scale (Treble Clef) Ab Scale (Bass Clef)

Db Scale (Treble Clef) Db Scale (Bass Clef)

Gb Scale (Treble Clef) Gb Scale (Bass Clef)

Note: To know where the location of the second sharp/flat is:

Count four steps downward and five steps upward if it is sharp. Count four steps upward and five steps downward if it is flat.

To know the key signature of the song using the sharps/flats, consider sharp as “ti” and flat as “fa”. After that, do what is written above.
