First Term

During this term we have learnt a lot of new vocabulary. We have focus on the qualities of sound. There are four qualities pitch, intensity, duration and timbre.


PITCH
Pitch: this quality of sound  distinguishes between high or low sounds. It is measure by wave frequency.
We should highlight some things about pitch:- Tuning fork: it is an object used before playing an instrument. It serves to tune.
- Staff: group of five lines and four spaces where we write notes or other symbols.

- Scale: sequence of notes.
- Tone and semitone: unit for measure the pitch.

Clef: it is a symbol that indicates the name of the note. There are two types of notes:  
* G clef:  we use it on the high register.








  * F clef: we use it on the low register.

DURATION
It is the quality of sound that distinguishes long or short sounds. It is measure by wave persistence.
- Note values: symbols that represent the duration of sound value.
- Rest: represent the duration of the silence.

- Time signature: divide into equal parts and sets notes and rests values.

- Length modifiers: prolong or extends the duration.

  * Dot: adds half of it value.

  * Ligature: adds up duration.

  * Fermata: extends interrupting the measure.

- Tempo: speed of the performance of a musical piece:

  * Largo: very slow

  * Adagio: slow

  * Andante: calm

For me it is really amazing.

We also have studied what is the sound, what is the noise, and what is the silence.
- Sound: is produced when and object vibrates and it is transmitted
by sound waves. These waves are regular.
- Noise: is a bad unpleasant sound. It is also transmitted by waves but these waves are irregular.
- Silence: it happened when there is no sound.

Here is an example of a quite unusual room where you can´t hear anything and you can't produce echo.

For me this video it´s a bit weird and I think that it is amazing what we can do.

Music

Intervals

• An interval is the space between two notes in the stave.
• We call them with ordinal numbers to number them we have to count the number of notes between them.
• There are two different types of intervals depending if the note second note is below or above.

Ascending: it  goes upper.                                                   Descending: it goes lower.

Intervals can be harmonic or melodic:

-Harmonic: notes are placed together.

-Melodic: notes are placed in sequence.
