In fact, you suggest an answer in your question the rhythmic complexity of the contrapuntal texture (particularly at this slow tempo), washes "away any real sense of an overall rhythmic organisation." Therefore, we do not need to interpret the music as having any accented groupings within the 5/4 time signature. It is perfectly valid to use groups of 5 crotchet beats as the overall rhythmic template of a piece of music, without having to have the same sub-groupings in different parts. Well, I have to ask "told by who?" It is not the case that 5/4 has to be interpreted as either 3/4 + 2/4 or 2/4 + 3/4. Differentiate between dotted half, half note and quarter note.Normally, we're told that 5/4 is really 3/4 + 2/4 or 2/4 + 3/4.Recognize the purpose and function of 3/4 Time Signature, and its role in music.Decode, count and notate rhythms in 4/4 with above note values.
Differentiate between whole rests, half rests and quarter rests.Differentiate between whole note, half note and quarter note.Accurately describe the purpose and function of a time signature.Recognize the relationships between the treble and bass clef and how it is incorporated in the grand staff.Recognize the bass clef, how to draw the clef and be able to identify pitches on a bass clef staff, including ledger lines.Recognize the treble clef, how to draw the clef and be able to identify pitches on a treble clef staff, including ledger lines.The learner will be able to describe pitch.The learner will be able to describe and identify the purpose of the music staff.Learner will be able to describe the role music has on their life.The learner understand and demonstrate simple meter.The learner will be able to demonstrate musical notation.The learner will be able to demonstrate fundamental concepts of music (staff, clefs, pitch, etc.).The learner will identify and differentiate between the Treble and Bass Clefs.The learner will develop a basic understanding of a musical notation system, building a theoretical foundation and understanding of music theory.What will you know at the end of this mini-course? The ultimate intent of this course is to develop the learners ability to recognize, understand, and describe the basic fundamentals of music theory. This course will lead to an understating of the fundamental elements of musicianship that include musical notation, pitch, meter and rhythm. It is intended for students with no formal background in music theory. The purpose of this mini-course is to provide a basic introduction to the concepts and terms of Music.
