ABSTRACTION
What is Music?
Music, artful arrangement of sounds across time. This definition is obviously very
broad, but a narrower one would exclude too much style and structure.
Definitions of music can change dramatically over a short time, as they have
across the world during the 20th century.

The word music comes from the Greek mousikê (tekhne) by way of the Latin
musica. It is ultimately derived from mousa, the Greek word for muse. In ancient
Greece, the word mousike was used to mean any of the arts or sciences governed by
the Muses. Later, in Rome, ars musica embraced poetry as well as instrument-oriented
music. In the European Middle Ages, musica was part of the mathematical
quadrivium: arithmetics, geometry, astronomy and musica. The concept of musica
was split into four major kinds by the fifth century philosopher, Boethius: musica
universalis, musica humana, instrumentalis, and musica divina. Of those, only,
instrumentalis referred to music as performed sound.
Music is the language of the soul. From time to time, man has used it as a
means of expressing his thoughts emotions in a particular moment or mood. When he
reminisces he listens to melodies like the nostalgic "Hanggang". When he loves, he
expresses his passion, his longings, fears and hopes through songs like Abelardo's
immortal "Nasaan Ka, Irog" and Schuman's Classic. Yes, music is the monument to
man's creativity which enables him to transform his emotions into living, vibrant
sounds. It is there for us recreate, to feel once more.
Music is the combination of sounds or tones produced by the human voice or
by various musical instruments in rhythmical, melodic, and harmonic forms that
affect one's feelings or emotions.

Types of Music

Orchestral Music the usual grand collection musicians (more than eighty), grouped
according to their of many instrument, guided by their sheet music, years of training
and practice, and the conductor

• A Symphony consists of four (sometimes three). They usually differ from each
other through the kind of emotion they are designed movements to invoke.

3
• A Ballet is an orchestral music that is based on dance movements. This type
was created and nurtured during the Romantic era.

Chamber music this is musical work composed specifically for a smaller

instrumental arrangement (smaller than an orchestra)

Opera the most popular type of classical music to come out of the Baroque era.

• Vocal Music may or may not be accompanied by instruments

• Solo instrumental music is not accompanied by anything

Western Music is the music of people of European ancestry. It is the major form of
music in Europe, North America, South America, and Australia. People in some
Asian countries for example, China, Korea, and Japan-also enjoy Western music.

Western music can be divided into two main types:

• Classical music is also called as art music, is composed according to certain
rules and performed by musicians from written music, symphonies and music
for opera and ballet.
• Popular music includes many kinds of music, such as folk music, country
music, jazz, rock music, and music from musical comedies and films. Popular
music, or entertainment music, is generally much simpler than classical
music. In addition, many great classical composers wrote some tunes in the
style of the popular music of their time.

Asian Music sounds different from Western music because the scales, instruments,
and composing techniques used are different. For example, a scale in Western music
has 12 notes to an octave. But the Arab scale has 17 notes to an octave, and the Indian
scale has 22 notes. Such scales are called microtonal because they are made up of
microtones that is, intervals smaller than a semitone. The chief types of Asian music
are those of (1) China, (2) Japan, (3) India, (4) the Arab countries and (5) Indonesia.

Ska and Reggae to be precise, reggae can be called an offshoot of ska, because ska
came before reggae. To know how reggae started, you'll have to take a look at ska and
rocksteady.
• Ska is roughly a mixture of calypso and jazz. It is more percussive than
melodic and very upbeat.
• Ska is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, and was the
precursor to rock steady and reggae Ska combined elements of
Caribbeanmento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. It is
characterized by a music genre of Jamaica and was popular with British
mods.
Importance of Music

Music plays an important part in all cultures, People music (1) in ceremonies, (2) in
work, and (3) in personal and social activities

• In ceremonies. Nearly all peoples use music in their religious services. One
kind of religioun seeks to create a state of mystery and awe. For example,

4
some cultures have special musical instruments played only by priests on
important occasions, such as harvest ceremonies and the burials of chiefs.
• In work. Before machine became important, people had to do much difficult or
boring work by hand. For example, laborers sang songs to help make their
work seem easier.
• In personal and social activities. Many people perform music for their own
satisfaction. Singing in a choir or playing a musical instrument in a band can
be very enjoyable. Music provides people with a way to express their feelings.
A group of happy campers may sing cheerful songs as they sit around a
campfire. A sad person may play a mournful tune on a guitar.

Function of Music

1. Emotional Expression. The venting of emotions and the expression of ideas.

For example, in a horror movie the music will follow certain characteristics
2. Communication (music has specific rules like to intensify the "fear". language
that follows things like syntax. in our theory class when constructing phrases we
referred to them as questions and answers.)
3. Symbolic Representation. Some symbolization is found in the texts of songs,
some in the cultural meaning of the sounds, and some in deep symbolism related
to human experience.
4. Enforcing Conformity to Social Norms. Many cultures music provides
instructions or warnings.
5. Validation of Social Institutions and Religious Rituals. Many cultures of
institutions have a song that embodies part of their individual culture -fight song.
6. Contributes to the continuity and stability of culture. Music is in a sense a
summation activity for the expression of values, a means whereby the heart of the
psychology of a culture is exposed.
7. Contribution to the integration of society. Music is often used to draw
people together, such as the fight song for a school.
8. Aesthetic enjoyment. Providing the type of experiences.
9. Entertainment. The use of music as diversion and amusement is widespread in
most societies. In fact, it may be the largest single use of music.
10. Physical Response. Listening to fast-paced, upbeat music helps runners to run
at a quicker pace)

2 Ledger Lines and the Keyboard
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:
a. arrange the musical symbols accordingly;
b. identify the musical symbols used in the; musical score; and
c. realize the importance of the rudiments of music.

Introduction: Hi! Welcome to Lesson 2- Staff, Measure, Bars, Clefs, Ledger Lines
and the Keyboard. In this lesson, you will get to familiarize the different rudiments of
music and will guide you in arranging the symbols in the following lesson
accordingly.

Activity:

Analysis:
1. Do you find it difficult to solve the puzzle above?

2. What do you think is the importance of each part of the star in forming
its structure?

3. In relation to our topic for this lesson, do you believe that every
rudiments of music plays an important function in music? Why?

Abstraction: Music is written, or notated, on a staff of five lines and four spaces.
The staff forms a kind of "ladder," with each line and each space
representing a particular pitch arranged in ascending order from the
bottom line to the top.(See picture below)

Staff

- Music is written by placing notes on the staff.

- The music staff is made of 5 lines and 4 spaces.
- Notes are placed on the staff according to their pitch.

9
Measure
Measure is a segment of time within a piece of music defined by a given number of
beats. Each measure is separated
by a bar. Within each measure,
beats are represented by a particular
note value and the boundaries of the
bar are indicated by vertical bar
lines.

Bars
Bars are classified into two. These
are the following:
1. Single Bar (Standard Bar). A vertical line dividing the staff into measures.
2. Double Bars. These are two vertical lines at the end of the staff which signify the
end of the music.

Clefs
A Clef is a musical symbol places at the beginning of the line music to indicate the
exact location of a particular note or pitch on the staff. There are several kind of clefs
used in notation. Here are two of the most common clef signs used in music writing
and reading.

- Clefs placed at the beginning of the staff tell

us the pitch of one of the staffs
- The most commonly used clefs are Treble
and Bass clefs.

- The treble clef is sometimes called the G

Clef because it curls around the G line to show the
position of G.

10
- The bass clef is sometimes called the F Clef
because its two dots are placed on either side of the
F line to show the position of F.

Ledger Lines
These are short lines drawn above and below the staff to provide for notes outside the
staff for continuity in reading music. An extension of the staff.

- The staff can be extended by adding small lines called ledger lines
above and below it.

- The treble staff and bass staff combine to form the Grand staff
- Middle C is the midpoint between the staves.
Each line and space of the staff has a particular tone with its corresponding pitch
name. Pitch names are letter names derived from the first seven letters of the English
alphabet. Pitch names also have their corresponding tone names or so-fa syllables.

11
- These memory aids can help you learn the names of the staff lines and
spaces.
- You can also make your own phrases to remember staff note names.

Keyboard Instrument
A keyboard instrument is one that produces sound when the player presses keys on a
keyboard. Keyboard instruments may be included in the orchestral ensemble, or
featured as solo instruments playing together with the orchestra.
Musical keyboard is the set of adjacent depressible O or keys on a musical
instrument, particularly the piano. Keyboards typically contain keys for playing the
twelve notes of the Western musical scale. With a combination of larger, longer keys
and smaller, shorter keys that repeats at the interval of an octave.

- The sound on the keyboard goes from low to high as the keys played
from left to right.
- The first seven letters of the alphabet are used to names the white keys
A B C D E F G.
In modern musical notation and tuning, an enharmonic equivalent is a note,
interval, or key signature that is equivalent to some other note, interval, or key
signature but "spelled", or named differently. Thus, the enharmonic spelling of a
written note, interval, or chord is an alternative way to write that note, interval, or
chord.
Chromatic Signs
• Sharp
A Sharp is a symbol placed before a note to raise its pitch one
semitone or halftone. Thus, a sharp before the note fa is sung
or played as fi or fa#, but sounds one-half tone higher than the
original

• Double sharp
Double Sharp raises the pitch of a note by one whole tone.
Thus, a double sharp before the note fa will take the sound of
sol.

12
• Flat
Flat is a symbol placed before a note to lower its pitch one
semitone or halftone. Thus, a flat before the note mi is sung
or played as me or mi b, but sounds one-half tone lower than
the original.

• Double flat
A Double Flat lowers the pitch of a note by a whole tone.
Thus, a double flat before the note sol will take the sound of
fa.

• Natural
A natural restores a note to its original pitch which was
previously played a sharp, flat, with a double sharp or double
flat. A natural is also called a "cancel” sign.

• Accidental
An Accidental is a sharp, a double sharp, a flat, a double flat or
a natural, which does not belong to the scale of the indicated
key.

13

LESSON
3 Notes and Rest
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:
a. identify the value of notes and rests symbols; and
b. realize the importance of notes and rests in a musical score.

Introduction: Hi everyone! We have finished 2 valuable lessons in this module. In this

lesson, we will learn the notation to help us interpret musical composition. You can
understand why there are note and rest symbols in a musical score.
Activity: Based in your prior knowledge about music in your elementary
and high school days, write some of the notes and rest that you can still
remember?
1. ___________________
2. ___________________
3. ___________________
4. ___________________
5. ___________________

Analysis:
1. Do you have firsthand experience in reading notes and rests in a
musical score? How was your experience?

2. Do you believe that notes and rests played an important function in music?
Why?

Abstraction:
Notation is a method of writing down music so that it can be
performed vocally and instrumentally. It is a kind of code that allows other people to
interpret music. These symbols tell us three basic things about the music; how long or
short is the sound (duration), how high or low is the sound (pitch), and how should the
music be played (expression). Note, in musical notation, symbol placed on or between

18
the lines of a staff to indicate the pitch and the relative duration of the tone to be
produced by voice or instrument.
PARTS OF NOTE

MUSICAL NOTES VALUE CHART

Notes
Notes are musical characters or symbols placed on the staff to denote certain tones to
be sounded. Notes may have one, two, three or more parts which are the head, stem,
and hook or hooks. Notes have different shapes to determine their exact value; i.e.,
their relative length or duration. The pitch of the note depends on the position of the
note-head on the lines and spaces of the staff.
The term note has two primary meanings:
1. A sign used in musical notation to represent the relative duration and pitch of a
sound;
2. A pitched sound itself

Whole note
Looks like an egg on its side, either with a line through it or
not. An open head without stem.

Half note
Looks like as the same as whole note but with a vertical line
attached to it. An open note head with stem.

19
Quarter note
Looks like the same as half note except the circle is filled in.
a closed note head with a stem.

Eighth note
Looks like the same as quarter note but with a curly off the
line. They can also be put in groups of 4, 3, or 2. A closed
note head with stem and one hook.

Sixteenth note
Looks like the same as an eight note but has double curls.
Can also be grouped in 4, 3, or 2 but are joined by a double
line. A closed note head with stem and two hooks.

Notes Can Be Classified Into

1. Ascending Notes- a set of notes that go up in
succession. It increases in pitch.

2. Descending Notes- a set of notes that go down in

succession. It decreases in pitch.

3. Contrary Moving Notes- is a group of notes going

in opposite directions. An ascending and
descending notes in succession.

4. Repeated Notes- group of notes played or sung

repeatedly having the same pitch.

5. Tie Notes- two or more notes of the same pitch. The

tie sign (a curved line) indicated that the second

20
note is not to be played or sung but its time value is added to the first note.

6. Slur Notes- a curved line placed over or under a

group notes to indicated that they are to be played
or sung together or at the same time.

MUSICAL RESTS VALUE CHART

Rest
A rest is an interval of silence in a piece of music, marked by a symbol indicating the
length of a pause. Each rest symbol corresponds with a particular note value:

Whole Rest- looks like a dark rectangle attached to a bar

line, facing downwards. (Below the 4th line).

Half Rest- looks like a dark rectangle attached to a bar line,

facing upwards. (Above the 3rd line).

21
Quarter Rest- looks like a squiggly line.

Eighth Rest- looks like a slanted line with a dot.

Sixteenth Rest- looks like a slanted line with a double dot.

The duration of notes may also be prolonged by using a dot, a tie, or a fermata.
1. A dot, when paced after a note or a rest, increases the duration of the note or
rest by one half of its original values.

Dotted Notes and Rests

Dotted Note Dotted Rest Duration
Whole note Whole rest 6
Half note Half rest 3
Quarter note Quarter rest 1½
Eighth note Eighth rest ¾
Sixteenth note Sixteenth rest 3/8

2. Double dots after a note or rest increases the value of the note or rest by ¾. In
a ¾ time signature for example, a quarter note receives a one beat. AS double
dots after a quarter note will a ¾ beat. Therefore, a quarter note with a double
dots will receive a total of one and 3.4 beats.
i.e

22
3. Another way of increasing the duration of note is by using a tie. This is a
curved line that joins two or more notes of the same pitch. T indicates that the
second note is not to be sounded but its time value is added to the time value
of the first note.

e.i

4. The duration of the note may also be prolonged using a fermata. This musical
sign, when placed above or below the note indicates that the note is held
longer than the indicated time value.

Time Signature
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:

a. identify the value of notes as time signature changes

b. appreciate the importance time signature in a musical score.

Introduction: Hi there everyone! We have finished 4 valuable lesson in this module.

In this lesson we will learn the notation to help us interpret music. You can
understand why there is a pitch and duration in performing a song!

Activity: Perform our Philippine National Anthem “Lupang Hinirang” and

Time Signature
The time signature appears at the beginning of a piece of music, right after the key
signature. Unlike the key signature, which is on every staff the time signature will not
appear again in the music unless the meter changes. The meter of a piece of music is

27
its basic rhythm; the time signature is the symbol that tells you the meter of the piece
and how (with what type of note it is written).

Beats and Measures

Music is heard over a period of time. Music is organized by dividing that time up into
short periods called beats. In most music, things tend to happen right at the beginning
of each beat. This makes the beat easy to hear and feel. When you clap your hands,
tap your toes, or dance, you are "moving to the beat". Your claps are sounding at the
beginning of the beat, too. This is also called being "on the downbeat", because it is
the time when the conductor's baton hits the bottom of its path and starts moving up
again.

Example
Listen to excerpts A, B, C and D. Can you clap your hands, tap your feet, or
otherwise move "to the beat"? Can you feel the 1-2-1-2 or 1-2-3-1-2-3 of the
meter? Is there a piece in which it is easier or harder to feel the beat?

• A - http://cnx.org/content/m10956/latest/Tanz.mp3
• B- http://cnx.org/content/m10956/latest/EasyWinners.MID
• C - http://cnx.org/content/m10956/latest/Jetztkommt.MID
• D - http://cnx.org/content/m10956/latest/Greensleeves.

The downbeat is the strongest part of the beat, but some downbeats are stronger
than others. Usually a pattern can be heard in the beats: strong-weak-weak-strong-
weak-weak, or strong-weak strong-weak. So, beats are organized even further by
grouping them into bars, or measures. (The two words mean the same thing.) For
example, for music with a beat pattern of strong-weak-weakstrong-weak-weak, or 1-
2-3-1-2-3, a measure would have three beats in it. The time signature tells you two
things: how many beats there are in each measure, and what type of note gets a beat.

28
Meter: Reading Time Signatures
Most time signatures contain two numbers. The top number tells you how
many beats there are in a measure. The bottom number tells you what kind of note
gets a beat.
