Therefore, I like to think of navigational notation as having 3 purposes, to act as a: portal, target or a midway destination. Sometimes navigational notation can be overwhelming to a beginner, as traveling back and forth in a piece of music can be confusing. The last is fortissimo, this means you play the notes very loudly. The fifth is forte, this means you play the notes loudly.
The fourth is mezzo forte, this means you play the notes moderately loud. The third is mezzo piano, this means you play the notes moderately soft. The second is piano, this means you play the notes softly. The first is pianissimo, this means that you play the notes very softly. The six main dynamic notations to learn are: pianissimo, piano, mezzo piano, mezzo forte, forte and fortissimo. It allows the listener to understand the emotion, and the stress behind the movement of the notes that’s being played. This can range from soft and gentle, to loud and aggressive. DynamicsĪdding dynamics to your music can impact your listeners in a variety of ways. Even though the time signature 2/2 is the same as 4/4, the beat/pulse of the song is different.Ī marcato articulation is the combination of a staccato and an accent, meaning the note is to be played loud, short and detached. It is 2 beats because it takes 2 half notes to make a whole note, and the time signature /2 is based on the half note. In time signature 2/2 a whole note will last 2 beats which will take up the entire bar, as a bar requires 2 beats. A whole note will not fill the bar as they’re 4 beats remaining to use. In time signature 12/8 a whole note will last 8 beats because it takes 8 eighth notes to make a whole note, and the time signature /8 is based on the eighth note. However, depending on the time signature the amount of beats a note can have will change. It is 4 beats because it takes 4 quarter notes to make a whole note, and the time signature /4 is based on the quarter note. In the time signature 4/4, a whole note will last 4 beats which will fill the entire bar, as a bar requires 4 beats. Let’s go through each individual one in more detail: Whole note (semibreve) Now you can see where each note gets its name from, and also why using the numerical name is more popular.Īll the notes have a different beat duration depending on the time signature of the music. Comparing to the other note duration one whole note is equal to: As we can see the whole note is at the top holding the longest duration.
