Indicate the distance between pitches below (H = half step; W = whole step). Use the piano keyboard above to help you.

Given the first pitch, notate the next three pitches to complete the tetrachord. (Use the piano keyboard on the inside front cover to help you.)

Note the four major scales indicated by the starting pitches given. Write each note name in the blank provided. You will need to use either sharps or flats.

Listen to each tetrachord. Circle the two notes where the half step occurs.

Given one pitch and its scale degree, complete the major scale in each exercise by adding the other pitches in their appropriate places. Fill in the scale name. Remember that scales follow the pattern: WWHWWWH. 1. ______ Major Scale

Given one pitch and its scale degree, complete the major scale in each exercise by adding the other pitches in their appropriate places. Fill in the scale name. Remember that scales follow the pattern: WWHWWWH. 2. ______ Major Scale

Given one pitch and its scale degree, complete the major scale in each exercise by adding the other pitches in their appropriate places. Fill in the scale name. Remember that scales follow the pattern: WWHWWWH. 3. ______ Major Scale

Given one pitch and its scale degree, complete the major scale in each exercise by adding the other pitches in their appropriate places. Fill in the scale name. Remember that scales follow the pattern: WWHWWWH. 4. ______ Major Scale

Notate each tetrachord based on the given first pitch.

Using the tetrachords from exercise #1 and the scale degrees below the staff, construct each major scale indicated. a) B♭ Major

Using the tetrachords from exercise #1 and the scale degrees below the staff, construct each major scale indicated. b) F Major

Using the tetrachords from exercise #1 and the scale degrees below the staff, construct each major scale indicated. c) B♭ Major

Using the tetrachords from exercise #1 and the scale degrees below the staff, construct each major scale indicated. d) F Major

Notate each tetrachord based on the given first pitch.

Using the tetrachords from exercise #1 and the scale degrees below the staff, construct each major scale indicated.

Indicate the distance between each of the four pitches. (H = half step; W = whole step)

This pattern of whole steps and half steps indicates that the above example is called a ________.

Note each tetrachord based on the given first pitch. (Use the piano keyboard on the inside front cover to help you.)

A major scale is created when two tetrachords are joined by a ________ step.

Using the tetrachords from #3, and the answer to #4, construct each major scale indicated. (The first pitch is provided.)

Under each key signature write the letter names of the notes that are to be sharped or flatted, and the word “flat” or “sharp”.

What does each dynamic level mean? Write the correct letter from the second column in the blank space.

Match the Italian term with each dynamic level.

Clap the following rhythm. Be sure to pay attention to the dynamics.

Clap the following rhythm. Be sure to pay attention to the dynamics.

a) What do you think "issimo" means? b) What do you think "mezzo" means? c) What term could be used to replace all the symbols in #3 measure 4?

Decrescendo means the same as (a)   .

________ means __________.

Optional Activity: Each instrument has a tendency to change pitch when changing dynamic levels and changing registers. Using a strobe tuner, test your instrument’s tendency to change pitch in each of the following registers using the dynamics given. Record your results.

How can you compensate for this pitch tendency when performing?

Mark the music as indicated in each instruction below. Make sure the articulations are placed appropriately. a) Place staccato markings on every pitch in measure 1. b) In measure 2, mark the F as tenuto and the C as accented. c) In measure 3, mark beats 1 and 3 staccato. Mark 2 and 4 tenuto. d) Mark beat 1 of measure 4 sforzando. Mark beats 2, 3, and 4 staccato. e) In measure 5, place a tenuto marking on the quarter notes and a fermata on the half note.

Fill in the letter of the term that best matches each symbol. - For the symbol ">", write the corresponding term. - For the symbol ".", write the corresponding term. - For the symbol "sfz", write the corresponding term. - For the symbol "-", write the corresponding term.

(a)  

Clap each indicated rhythm. Be sure to observe the tempo and dynamic markings.
