Using the keyboards below, write the interval (whole step or half step) that is created by the Os.

The half step (H) is the smallest interval used in

traditional Western music. The piano keyboard is

arranged in half steps; the distance between two

adjacent keys on the piano is a half step.

The whole step (W) is an interval made by combining

two half steps.

Slurs and Ties

Name_______________________

________________________________________________________________________________

2. Circle the slurs in this example.

A slur is a curved line connection two or more notes of different pitches.

Slurred passages should be played as smoothly as possible.

3. Write the number of beats each pair of tied notes should receive.

A tie is a curved line which connects two notes of the same pitch.

Tied notes are played as one note. The rhythmic value is the sum of the two notes.

= 3 beats= 2 beats =1 1/2 beats

1. Circle the ties in this example.

________________________________________________________________________________

1. Identify the following intervals as melodic (M) or harmonic (H).

2. Name these melodic intervals.

In music, an interval is the distance between two notes.

A melodic interval is the distance between two notes shich are played one at a time.

A harmonic interval is the distance between two notes which are played at the same time.

3. Name these harmonic intervals.

4. Write the indicated harmonic interval above the given note.

Melodic Intervals

Harmonic Intervals

The interval between two

identical notes is called

a unison.

The interval of an

eighth is called an

octave.

The Circle of Fifths diagram shows the

clockwise arrangement of major keys

in an order of ascending fifths

for sharp key signatures.

With each added sharp

the key advances five

letter names and the

tonic moves up a

perfect fifth.

Flat keys are

presented in

an order of

descending

fifths. With

each added

flat the key

moves back

five letter

names and

the tonic moves

down a perfect fifth.
