Nice Thing To Write In An Engagement Card

Lesson 3: If you can count start doing

One million jobs have prevented me from continuing this blog so far, but here we are again with this short and simple note, I hope.

Well, the whole score is one of its main elements, immediately after the key signature (which indicates whether key employees of treble, bass or do) a couple of numbers, one below the other, a kind of mathematical broken. Calm down, those not managed with mathematics, which we are not going to do complex operations with its dreaded fractions! No. Ladies and gentlemen, these numbers represent the type of measure we are using.

As we are beginners here start with the beat 4 / 4 (four quarters). Which is it, then, with fractions?, Perhaps some exclaim. Quiet, quiet.

In music, the time signature expresses the length of each bar (in the score is divided by vertical lines), in the present case, our bars will serve four times: one, two, three, four.

If you have at hand any time musical score 4 / 4 and quarter notes (the dark beans with a stick, called a horn) to take his violin and play each time counting the notes aloud ( or low, if you like, but growing!).

times, as we violin teacher taught the heroic Cuba, sing: un'y-dos'y-tres'y-square and [one two iiii iii iii three four III.] III What is important, and is even more important that each syllable is pronounced with a uniform duration, because later they will long to play the eighth notes (those black premiums that will add the flag pole or are linked together with a single horizontal line).

And, if each quarter note is worth one time and each eighth note is worth half, to recite the sequence, where black played a single note can also play two black (Vgr: negra1 = a III = two iii negra2 .. ./corchea1 = a, corchea2 = III corchea3 = two, corchea4 = III ...). Practice

his scores with a full stroke of the bow to the quarter notes and half for the eighth movement, and do so with the speed they can, trying to increase the speed later.

A nice exercise, if they have a score at hand is touching the air the four strings of the violin, giving time to each one of them: sol, re, la, mi, mi, la, re, sol. And playing two notes per string, for their eighth: sol, sol, re, re, la, la, mi, mi, mi, mi, la, la, re, re, sol, sol. Remember

touch the air means without pressing the strings with the fingers. Until next time ...
