Hi 3rds and 4ths !

This means one more week to study and be well prepared!

Please, refer to the posts below for the topics you need to review for the test.

See you tomorrow at school :)

5th grade: Music Theory Test on Monday, February 20th

Hi 5th graders:

For your test you need to know very well how to make a circle of fifths and :
- Remember the Latin numbers and names for the scale degrees (Tonic I , Supertonic II etc)
- Know how to create a Major scale following the circle of fifths
-Know how to find which scale degree is each note (for example: Sol and Sol flat)
If you have any questions please make sure you find me and ask me on time  :-)

4th grade: Music Theory Test on Monday, February 13th

Hi 4th graders :-)

We are going to have a test next Monday on Intervals 3rd and 2nd type.

Please check the notes for the 3rd graders and note the following:

If you know how many semitones a 2nd Major Interval has the very easily you can find the other types:

2nd Major: 2 Semitones

2nd minor is Major-1 Semitone = 1 Semitone

2nd Augmented is Major + 1 Semitone = 3 Semitones

The same with 3rd intervals:

3rd Major is 4 Semitones

3rd minor is Major - 1 Semitone = 3 Semitones

3rd Diminished is Major  - 2 Semitones = 2 Semitones

3rd Augmented is Major + 1 Semitone = 5 Semitones.

3rd grade: Music Theory Test on Monday, February 13th.

Hi 3rd graders :-)

Next Monday we will have a test on Semitones , Tones and 2nd intervals.

You will be asked to identify the semitones as per type (chromatic or diatonic) and to find out whether the interval given is a tone or not.

You will also be asked questions such as "what is an interval" or "how many semitones are there in a 2nd Augmented interval".

Some tips for your study:

Chromatic Semitones are the semitones between 2 notes that their name is the same (for example: Do - DoSharp)

Diatonic Semitones are these between 2 notes with a different name (for example: Do - Re flat)

Tones are consisted of two semitones.

Interval is the distance between two notes. (for example Do-Sol: 4th interval)

We identify the intervals as per size and type.
Size is how big the interval is  (for example: Do-Mi is a 3rd interval, Re-La is a 5th interval)
Type is how many semitones are there in the interval (for example Mi - Fa is a minor because there is only one semitone)

Type of 2nd intervals:

minor: 1 Semitone
Major: 2 semitones
Augmented: 3 semitones
