Six |
six four |
four |
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. |
