Crescendo and Decrescendo in Music



The decrescendo, or diminuendo, has the opposite effect of the crescendo. The two line are angled and converge to a single point. The length of the lines also depends on how long the decrescendo should last. A decrescendo means to gradually get softer over a marked period of time.



A crescendo marking can be expressed with two lines beginning from a single point opening up into an angle. The length of the lines depend on how long the crescendo should take effect. A crescendo means to gradually get louder over a marked period of time.

Musical Terms

crescendo: gradually get louder.


decrescendo: gradually get softer.


diminuendo: gradually get softer.


mezzo: half.


staccato: detached, short.


vibrato: slight change of pitch on same note.

a capella:

a capella: for choral music without accompaniment.

Key - Musical Notation



A key is a reference to music written in one of twenty-four diatonic scales. There are twelve major scales and twelve minor scales. The key signature indicates which of these major or minor scales the music is written. The final cadence determines whether the key is major or minor. Key signatures are marked over again at the begining of each new staff system.

A key signature may have up to seven sharp symbols, seven flat symbols or nothing at all.

Measure in Musical Notation


A measure, in music, is a measurement of time that contains a specific number of pulses defined by a time signature. Depending on the time value, a pulse, or a group of pulses, make-up a beat. A measure contains a natural division of strong beats and weak beats.

Depending on the time signature, certain beats within a measure are naturally accented. A measure is divided into strong beats and weak beats. The first beat of every measure is the strongest.

Accents - Musical Notation



Accents are symbols placed on top or below one or several notes. It tells you how the note should sound: Hard, soft, short, attacked, hammered... Accents are often referred as articulation.

Articulation symbols indicate how a note should sound. Accents are one group of articulation that indicates how hard, soft, short or long a note should sound. Other articulation symbols indicates that a note should be repeated a number of times or should express a certain texture.



There are five basic accent symbols. Three of these accents could be paired with the staccato. The staccato indicates that the note should be held for about half its value. A series of staccato notes would sound as detached.

Tempo - Musical Notation

Tempo means time in Italian. The expression found at the top left corner of the musical staff indicates how fast the music should be played. The expression could be a word or a metronome marking.

adagio: very slow.


allegro: lively, rather quick.


grave: extremely slow and solemn.


largo: slow and broad.



presto: very quick.


vivace: quick and lively.

Musical Staff - Musical Notation



A musical staff represents the time line of musical sound events. It is generally made up of five lines and four spaces. Notes are placed on these line and spaces to inform which pitch should sound. Notes placed on the top or each other would sound in harmony. Notes placed side by side of each other would sound as melody.



The notes on the musical staff indicates how high or how low the pitch will sound. The higher up the note is placed on the musical staff, the higher the pitch will sound. The lower the note is placed on the musical staff, the lower the pitch will sound. If notes are to go higher or lower than the five lines of the musical staff, ledger lines can be used to extend the staff.

Time Signatures in Musical Notation



In a Time Signature, the top number gives you the number of beats per measure and the bottom number gives you the type of note that takes the beat. The Time Signature is placed at the begining of the music right after the key signature. The Time Signature is not repeated at the begining of each system. It is only repeated if the Time Signature changes.

Time is perceived in music when a sequence of sounds are held for specific durations. The various note durations combined in harmonic and melodic form is called rhythm. More specific, rhythm is the combination of various measurements of time that shape melody, harmony, phrases and the whole composition.

For most music, the two ingredients that affect rhythm are tempo and metre. Metre is a measurement of music in time where time is divided into groups of pulses as designated by the top number of a time signature. Tempo tells you how fast the music is to be played.

The time signature defines the metre in music. The top number, given in simple time, may be in duple, triple or quadruple time. Simple time may also be combined with each other to form other complex metres.

The bottom number, common to all time signatures, tells you what note gets the pulse.

Rests in Musical Notation



A rest means no sound is to be played for a duration of time. The various types of rest symbols, like the various types of note shapes, signify different durations of silence in time.

A rest indicates a duration of silence. Various rest symbols signify different durations of silence. rests may apply to one or several voices depending whether or not there is linear independence in the music.





A whole rest is usually equivalent, in value, to the whole note. It is often placed in an empty measure regardless of the time value as indicated by the time signature.

Dynamic Markings in Musical Notation



Dynamic marks indicate how loud or soft the music should be played. For instrumental parts, dynamic marks are placed under (or near-by) a note beneath the musical staff. For a vocal part, the dynamic mark is placed above (or near-by) a note on top of the musical staff.

ff = fortissimo: Very loud.

f = forte: Loud.

p = piano: Soft.

pp = pianissimo: Very soft.

fp = forte-piano: Loud, then immediately soft.

Clef in Musical Notation



A Clef is one of many symbols that gives the pitch of any one of the five lines in the musical staff. For instance, the treble clef marks the second line of the musical staff as G. All the other pitches fall into place according to that line.

The clefs that are used most often are the treble clef and the bass clef.



The treble clef is also known as a G clef because it looks like a fancy G. The treble clef circles the second line of the musical staff to tell you that it is G. All other notes fall on the other lines and spaces accordingly.



The bass clef handles the lower range of notes. It is also called an F clef because it came from an old fashion F symbol that looks like an F. The bass clef marks the fourth line of the musical staff as F. All other notes fall on the other lines and spaces accordingly.

Bar Lines in Musical Notation


Repeat endings may have bracketed numbers indicating the order in which such endings are to be played. After playing through the first time, the performer takes the first ending for the repeat. The second time the performer will take the second ending and so on.



Repeat bars, that have a pair of dots on the left of the double bar, indicate that the music is to be repeated from a double bar having a pair of dots to its right. If there are no double bars, with a pair of dots on its right, the music is repeated from the beginning.



Bar lines are placed on the musical staff to separate the divisions of time. Time is divided in groups of pulses as defined in the time signature. The space between two bar line is called a measure or bar.

Parts of a Note



The part of a note that is common to all note symbols is the note head. A note head may take different shapes and sizes depending on the effect the composer intends for that sound. The note head is placed on a line or a space of the musical staff to indicate what pitch to play.


The stem is part of a note that is common to all note types smaller in duration than the whole note. A note head placed below the middle line of the musical staff has the stem going up. Likewise, a note head placed above the middle line of the musical staff has the stem going down. For the stem going up, it is placed to the right of the note head. For the stem going down, it is placed to the left. When a note head is placed on the middle line of the musical staff, the stem can go either up or down.


When there are two or more notes grouped in harmony or by beam, the stem goes opposite the direction of the furthest note from the middle line of the musical staff.

The flag is part of a note that is common to all note types smaller in duration than a quarter note. The more flags on the note stem, the shorter the duration of the note. Flagged notes are often beamed together within the space of a beat. In vocal music, notes are beamed over a sustained syllable.
