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
