that's simple.
No, compound.
Compound.
Two, three, four or five would be simple times.
Six, twelve They sound more complicated
Mm.
so think of them as being compound.
Right.
That way round then isn't so difficult.
That I think you I think most people find it more difficult having to group the notes in the right, in exactly the right way.
So I think.
This is actually a grade four one.
We'll lead up gradually to grade five .
Yeah.
I'm not going to go all the way back through grades two and three.
You started on two I think.
Or you've got Book Two.
We'll go, we'll go from
I think .
here.
And anything that you find you don't know then we can perhaps go back on just the bits that you don't know.
Because you're not going to have to go back on many of the things.
This book, these books are quite good because they do give you a little bit of explanation.
You've also got er other books or another book at home which you can refer to if you need any extra.
Erm it might be an idea to go back.
You won't find you're going to take much time doing some of these.
If you do exercise one for the time being don't worry about that one, exercise three.
Shall I write it down?
Yes, it would be a good idea, wouldn't it?
Mm.
Do you want to write on the back of
It would be because you've already got some in here haven't you?
I think I probably
Yeah.
Actually I'll carr I'll carry on on
And the date today is the
The twenty eighth I think.
Ah the twenty eighth.
It's the next thing on isn't it ?
So if you're looking in the grade four book put down page four, exercise one.
If you have a look at each one of those.
Rather than write them in the book, just put the answers down either on a on a piece of paper.
As long as you put clearly what it is you're putting in.
Then I can just use these books over and over again.
It's a bit pointless writing in them.
When it comes to exercise three that's on page five, exercise three.
When it says add bar lines it won it won't hurt you to actually write those out.
Because
Okay.
you really need to group the notes.
Well the notes are grouped but you're gonna add the .
Write it out because it's all good practice for
for you actually.
At er writing out notes as well.
So you can do exercise three.
Not that one for now because that's doing something different.
Now which are the ones that you've got to to group?
So far over here.
Right.
Page page eight starts exercise six.
In fact do all of those.
Do A through to F.
And that's grouping notes plus the bar lines.
The later ones are always quite hard.
And they've given you they've actually given you, not in this one, but they do give you the clefs here.
They've given you the clefs.
Did we look at those before?
Alto clefs and tenor clefs?
Er don't think so.
Have you come across those before?
come across these.
You've come across the treble and the bass right?
and the bass, not these alto or whatever.
Erm if just take just think of singers at the moment.
Soprano is the highest, then an alto
Soprano, then an alto , tenor, bass
tenor and bass.
Soprano is the highest voice.
Then comes the alto.
Then the tenor and then the bass at the .
Oh right.
So is
So
that's that's alto.
So is that one up from
It's one down from
the treble.
Think of it as being the next lot down if you like.
Then there would be a tenor clef and then a bass clef.
The only reason that, that you're using a different clef is that it's actually putting middle C in a different place.
On the stave.
So that for example an alto doesn't need so many notes, high notes, but needs a few more lower notes.
So if you just kept your treble clef you'd have a lot of lines possibly that you weren't using at all.
And having to add a lot of low ledger line notes.
That saves doing that.
Because they position middle C.
Middle C's actually positioned between those bits there so the middle line there becomes middle C.
