Hi everyone!
Test time again, but we need to take this opportunity, AND GET PIZZA (OR PASTA)
So this is revision for our music test:

Notes of the Treble and Bass clefs:





Or rather this is the grand staff



Intervals:
-Remember to count where the note already is
-Minor thirds will sound sad
-Major thirds should sound happy
-Major thirds are the first two notes of the major arpeggio



Key Signatures:
C major – no sharps or flats
A minor – no sharps or flats, raise 7th note
G major – 1 sharp, F sharp
E minor – 1 sharp, F sharp, raise 7th note
F major – 1 flat, B flat
D minor – 1 flat, B flat, raise 7th note
Remember to raise the 7th note of minor scales!

It is likely that the test will ask us to write scales, remember to consider the:
-Clef (Treble or Bass)
-Type of note (whole half, crotchet, minum etc)
-Key signature or accidentals
-Whether the stem of the note goes up or down (down until c1)

Flute - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI3wIHFQkAk (clear, high range, airy sound)

The song played is Fight of the Bumblebee, coolest yet hardest song ever.
And flute is the best by the way (bias? maybe...)

If there's anything else you think we might have, please comment
