Things You'll Need:
- Time
- Love for music
- lined paper
-
Step 1
Find your paper. If it has the lines, then your set. If no, then you can use rulers to make some.
-
Step 2
Determine the clef you need. If the instrument is of treble, then the clef is as a "G". If bass, use a clef like the "F". Some strings use the "C".
-
Step 3
Using the Fifth Circles, determine key and sign the key with sharp or flats.
-
Step 4
What time is it? Count the beatings and see. Write the appropriate fractions of time. Remember, the denomination is never of odd number. Listening to drummers will help in learning the timing signature for a song.
-
Step 5
Now it's the time for notes. A note like a circle is four beat. If it has a stick, it is like 2 beat. If the circle is filled in with a stick, it is only the one. If the stick has flags, then one flag is half of one, two is a forth of one, and so on. Always in the even fractions of two.
-
Step 6
make certain that the notes are not longer than the time sign
-
Step 7
For most instrumentt, the stick direction on the note is based on it's position. Above the middle b-line, the stick is down. Below it has the stick going up. For guitar style with fingers, the notes played with thumbs are pointing down. The notes when you use fingers are pointing up.
-
Step 8
Use rests. This is like breathing. Rests are different for length. The quarter is like a z. half is like the mans hats. whole looks like a whole, so it can be remembered more easy.
-
Step 9
Is your note to high or to low for the Staff?? use leger lines. one line below the staff (in the treble "G") is middle C of the pianoforte.
-
Step 10
Remember to use codas and repeats for saving the spaces. Also, you can use dynamics and some fermatas to liven up the sing.
-
Step 11
When at the end, make sure that the musician knows the end with double bars. This is how it is finished.
-
Step 12
Thank you and great blessings.
