Treble Music

THE MUSIC ALPHABET IS MADE OF SEVEN LETTERS.

These are letters used over and over on the keyboard to name the white keys. When you play the music alphabet forward, you go up the keyboard to the right:

A B C D E F G. So when you play the music alphabet backward, you go down the keyboard to the left:

G F E D C B A.

Practice Directions:

1. Play the music alphabet both forward and backward in different places on the keyboard, using the second finger of either hand. Say the letters aloud as you play.

2. Memorize the music alphabet forward and backward.

It is easy to find the white keys and know their names when you look for the sets of 2 and 3 black keys.

A IS BETWEEN THE 2ND AND 3RD KEYS IN THE 3 BLACK SET.

B IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE 3 BLACK KEY SET.

C IS TO THE LEFT OF THE 2 BLACK KEY SET.

D IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 2 BLACK KEY SET.

E IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE 2 BLACK KEY SET.

F IS TO THE LEFT OF THE 3 BLACK KEY SET.

G IS BETWEEN THE 1ST AND 2ND KEYS IN THE 3 BLACK KEY SET.

Practice Directions:

1. Shut your eyes

2. Touch sets of 2 and 3 black-keys with one hand. With the other hand find and name nearby white keys.

3. Memorize a picture of the keyboard.

C POSITION:

L.H. PLAYS:

C D E F G - FINGERING IS 5-4-3-2-1

R.H. PLAYS:

C D E F G - FINGERING IS 1-2-3-4-5

Playing Legato

Legato means to play smoothly, connecting the tones. To play legato, one finger lifts when another finger plays the next note. A slur is a curved line over or under two or more different notes that are to be played legato (smooth, connected). The slur is used to show a musical thought called a phrase. Lift your hand gently at the end of a phrase.

Playing Staccato

Staccato means to play short, separating the tones. A dot over or under a note means staccato. To play staccato, let the key go immediately after playing. Another name that I like to call staccato is "hot potato!" Quickly let go of the note!

Tied Notes

A tie is a curved line that connects notes of the same pitch (notes on the same line or space.) Play the first note only and hold it for the value of both notes.

For example:

Half Note + Whole Note = 6 beats

2 beats + 4 beats = 6 Beats

Whole Note + Whole Note

4 Beats + 4 beats = 8 Beats

The Staff

The staff has lines and spaces. Notes are written on lines or in spaces. The staff has 5 lines and 4 spaces. So then notes are placed either on lines or spaces. Number the lines from the bottom to the top. And number the spaces from the bottom to the top.

Clef Signs

A clef sign is used at the beginning of each staff. There is a treble clef or G clef. The tail wraps around the 2nd line. High tones are written on a treble staff.

Bass clef or F clef on the 4th line with dots on either side of the 4th line. Low tones are written on a bass clef.

The Grand Staff

The bass and treble staffs are joined together by a brace to form the grand staff. I explain to my students that it is like the left hand shaking hands with the right hand. A short line is added between the staffs for middle C.

So when you are in a music store looking for a book to purchase, always look for the Grand Staff if you want to play the piano with both hands. Intermediate and advanced players look for Fake Books where they are given the right hand melody notes and chords for the left hand.

Whether you play smoothly or chunky, learning the music alphabet and applying where they are on the keyboard is fun. Once you learn to read notes you will have that gift for a lifetime and will be able to play any style of music with a bit of practice. Have fun reading and playing the notes. Eventually you will be jamming, not reading all the music notes and leaning more on listening for the progression... and that is another story.

Treble Jig $95.59 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A treble jig is an Irish dance which is done in hard shoes. It is also known as the heavy jig (as opposed to the light jig, slip jig, and single jig, and reel which are done as soft shoes). It is performed to music with a 6/8 time signature. The dance is usually 40 bars to 48 bars in length, but is danced for 32 bars if one is in beginner to prizewinner. The dance is one of three main hard shoe dances (the other two being the Hornpipe and the set dances such as St. Patricks Day and Blackbird), and is done by most dancers.There are fast and slow versions of the treble jig. The fast version is danced by the younger or less advanced dancers and the slow is danced by the more advanced dancers. The fast is actually to fast music with fewer steps. The slow is danced to slow music so that they can fit more steps into it. There are many different versions of this dance. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Treble (Girl Group) $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Treble is a girl group from the Netherlands.The group started in 1995 when Caroline Hoffman (born 1975) and sisters Nina (born 1985) and Djem van Dijk (1987) met during a party, where Caroline was performing with a friend. The parents of the van Dijk sisters asked Caroline to become the music teacher of the two girls. A closeknit group was born, starting with street concerts where they accompanied themselves with acoustic guitar and djembe. Their harmonised and contagious African rhythm soon attracted a lot of attention. Treble is unique for its use of a fictitious language, called Treble. As they put it, In order to be able to get emotions across, music does not always require understandable language. The van Dijk sisters were in their early teens when the collaboration with Caroline started, and were therefore better able to pick up foreign languages. Although the girls have been singing in English and occasionally in French, the Treble language still is an integral and important part of their songwriting and performances.
