MUSIC NOTES

Let’s remember how music works…

The place where musical notes are written is called a STAFF. It consists of 5 lines and
4 spaces.

2
 If you ever forget how many lines and spaces the staff has, remember to look at your
hand; each finger is a line, and the spaces between your fingers are just like the spaces
between the staff lines!

The staff is divided in MEASURES by BARS.

The G CLEF and TIME SIGNATURES must be at the beginning of your staff when you
write music. The time signature tells you how many beats are in each measure.

.

Music notes have different names depending on their length. For example, the whole note equals 4 beats, 1 half
note equals 2 beats, 1 quarter note equals 1 beat, etc. Let’s check the diagram above to understand how they
are organized.

4
How do we represent the absence of notes?

Look at the chart above and you’ll see that every note has an equivalent rest that last
the same amount of time.

5
Let’s put this on practice. Complete the measures.

6
SINGING & PLAYING

C MAJOR SCALE (DO)

7
 DO RE MI FA SO LA TI DO

Let’s sing the DO Scale all together.

First we start from the bottom and go to the top, then we go backwards!!

8
After everything that we have learned until now, let’s put it all into practice!

From now on, we will learn some beautiful songs that we can play on the melodica. This instrument has all the musical notes
that you know: DO, RE, MI, FA, SO, LA, TI.

FA SO LA TI DO RE MI FA SO LA TI DO RE MI FA SO LA TI

9
 FINGERING

In the melodica, the fingering position is the same as the piano. Look at the picture…

LEFT HAND RIGHT HAND

It’s important to use the right fingering position to play every musical piece.
This is marked with numbers under the musical note.

10
 MUSIC DYNAMICS

In music, dynamics means how loud or quiet the music must be

played.

In written music, this is represented by letters that means the

Italian word for the dynamics level.

BASIC DYNAMICS:

f → it means “forte” → To play loud

mf → it means “mezzo forte” → To play

medium loud

p → it means “piano” → To play soft

11
12
 But first…

Do you know what means the word CANON?

Have you heard this before?

In music, a canon is a contrapuntal composition that
employs a melody with one or more imitations of the
melody. The initial melody is called the leader, while the imitative melody, which is
played in a different voice, is called the follower.

Let’s listen carefully to one of the most beautiful and famous canons in musical
history. It is called Pachelbel Canon in D.

Draw what you imagined while you were listening to the canon.

 AMAZING GRACE
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch; like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

The Lord hath promised good to me,

His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise.
Than when we first began.

ZONA NORTE

La zona norte de Chile se caracteriza principalmente por su

desierto, uno de los má s cá lidos del mundo, clima á rido,
mar y la Cordillera de los Andes cubierta de escasa nieve en
su cumbre, estos forman parte de su principal atractivo
turístico. Posee playas de arenas blancas y tibias aguas del
Océano Pacífico.

Dentro de la zona norte existen una variada gama de

expresiones folcló ricas, entre las que destacan:

Algunos instrumentos musicales de origen Quechua y Aymara; tales como la quena,

tarka, charango, ocarina, caja, bombo nortino, matraca, entre otros.

También podemos distinguir tipos de danzas como: el cachimbo, el trote y la cueca

nortina. En esta á rea la mú sica y la danza cumplen un papel fundamental, debido a la
multiplicidad de fiestas tradicionales en los distintos pueblos, tales como: El
enflorecimiento de llamas, Miércoles de Ceniza, Fiestas de la Cruz, Limpia de Canales,
Fiestas de los Muertos, etc.

La Tirana:

Es un pueblo con casi 900 habitantes situado en la Pampa del

Tamarugal, a má s de mil metros de altura, al norte del Salar de
Pintados, en la comuna de Pozo Almonte, Regió n de Tarapacá .
Todos los añ os, un 16 de julio llegan aquí má s de 200 mil
peregrinos, para adorar a la Virgen mediante cantos y danzas.

El contenido de los bailes ha ido variando con el paso del

tiempo. En un comienzo, estaban a cargo de cofradías formadas
por pastores del altiplano, campesinos de la precordillera y de los canchones de la
Pampa del Tamarugal, los cuales se reunían para alabar a la Virgen.

ZONA CENTRO
Al igual que en la zona norte, aquí también existen varios tipos
de expresiones folcló ricas. Sus instrumentos característicos
son la guitarra, arpa, guitarró n, charrango, pandero, tormento,
cacharaina, entre otros.

Esta es la zona del huaso. Sus valles templados y fá cilmente

adaptables a la ganadería hicieron que los españ oles los
tomaran como principal lugar de colonizació n y pudieran
adaptar sus costumbres sin fuertes cambios inmediatos.

Estos son algunos de los bailes má s tradicionales de la zona central de nuestro país:

 Cueca.
 Vals.
 Corrido.
 La Porteñ a.
 El Gato.

 LA JUANA ROSA
(Violeta Parra 1953-1954)
Arréglate, Juana Rosa,
que llegó una invitació n:
mañ ana trillan a yegua
en la casa ’e l’Asunció n

Te ponís la bata nueva

y en ca’a trenza una flor;
tenís que andar buenamoza
por si pica el moscardó n.

Tenís veinticinco,
Rosita, ay, Rosa,
vai pa’ solterona,
debís de pensar.
Vai bien empolvá’,
te ponís carmín
y agora pa’ l’era
contenta y feliz.

No hay niñ a joven que no haiga

en todo este alre’e’or
encontra’o en algú n’ era
alivio a su corazó n.

La que lo dice es tu mama,

en l’era a Juan conoció ,
y en l’era tu prima hermana
al marí’o que tiene hoy.

Abrevea, Juana Rosa,

que muy ligero anda el tren,
pero si vamos pa’ l’era
no quedá i en el andén.

Que a mí tam’ién me hace falta

un yerno para querer;
vamos pa’ l’era, y un nieto
me darís pa’ mi vejez.

26
¿Qué habrá pasado con la Juana Rosa? ¿Có mo le fue en la fiesta?

A continuació n, todo el curso escribirá la segunda parte de la canció n Juana Rosa.

ZONA SUR
Así como en las zonas norte y centro del país, esta zona
también posee su propia cultura y costumbres, las cuales
algunas son de origen españ ol y otras, propias de las islas que
rodean a la Isla de Chiloé.

Esta zona es muy rica en mitos y leyendas, los cuales dan a las
islas ese toque má gico de misterio y encanto que envuelve
hasta los propios habitantes de estas tierras. Algunas de estas
narraciones son la historia de La Pincoya y El Caleuche.

Algunos de los instrumentos característicos de la zona son la guitarra, violín, rabel,

bombo chilote, matraca, acordeó n, entre otros.

Chiloé es una de las regiones má s ricas de Chile, en cuanto a

folclor. Su particular situació n geográ fica, su clima y la
vigencia del pueblo originario Gü illiche que coexiste con las
tradiciones españ olas y criollas, han producido una
diversidad de manifestaciones folcló ricas.

La principal característica de la mú sica chilota, es su gran

vitalidad, cualidad que se aprecia claramente en las danzas,
todas ellas de ritmo á gil y alegre. Algunas de las danzas má s
populares de la Isla de Chiloé que, con mucho esfuerzo, aú n permanecen vigentes son
la refalosa, sirilla y la cueca chilota.

 EL LOBO CHILOTE
(Vals de Héctor Pavez)
En una aldea costera
De plomizadas arenas
Vivía un viejo marino
Que canta pasadas penas

Fue pescador y lobero

En aquellos añ os mozos
Este chilote marino
Que como él no hay otro
Ya nunca má s

Hoy recordando el pasado

Siente ansias de llorar
Piensa en su bote marino
Cuando sale a navegar

Con las jarcias tiritando

Viene un fuerte ventarrón
Confía él en su gente
Desde la proa al timón

Suelta esa vela, muchacho

Es la orden del capitá n
Que un temporal ya se asoma
Por las alturas del mar

Vuelve a su casa tranquilo

De la pesca está gozoso
Ese chilote marino
Que como él no hay otro
Y no habrá nunca má s

GREATEST COMPOSERS

32
 Johann Sebastian Bach
(1968 – 1750)

Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach,

Germany in 1685. As a child, Bach's father taught
him to play violin and harpsichord. His uncles
were all musicians, serving as church organists
and court chamber musicians. One of his uncles,
Johann Christoph Bach, introduced him to the art
of organ playing.

In 1707, Bach married his second cousin Maria

Barbara Bach. They had seven children. In 1720
Maria died and Bach married Anna Magdalena
Wilcke in 1721. Bach had 13 more children with Anna Magdalena. He was a father to
20 children in all.

In 1723, Bach became the cantor, organist, and musical composer for St. Thomas
Lutheran Church in Leipzig, Germany. Bach remained there for the rest of his life.

Some of Bach's most famous works include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Well-
Tempered Clavier, and the celebrated organ work Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.

Johann Sebastian Bach died in 1750. Bach was not appreciated during his own lifetime
and was considered an "old-fashioned" composer. Today, Bach is considered to be one
of the most influential composers of all time. In fact, he is now such an important
composer that the year of his death is a defining point in music history. It marks the
end of the Baroque Era.

Time to listen:

1. Brandenburg Concerto N°1 – Allegro.

2. The Well-Tempered Clavier - Prelude no. 1 in C major BWV 846.

3. Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 565.

33
 Johannes Brahms
(May 7, 1833 – April 3, 1897)

He was a German composer and pianist, and one of the

leading musicians of the. Born in Hamburg, Brahms
spent much of his professional life in Vienna, Austria,
where he was a leader of the musical scene. In his
lifetime, Brahms' popularity and influence were
considerable; following a comment by the nineteenth-
century conductor Hans von Bü low, he is sometimes
grouped with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van
Beethoven as one of the Three Bs.

Brahms was one of the few music composers who could

devote his time completely to composing without having to accept other employment.
In fact, he spent so much time with his composing that he sometimes neglected his
appearance.

In 1889 Thomas Edison, an inventor from the United States, visited Brahms in Vienna
and invited him to perform for an experimental recording. Brahms played an
abbreviated version of Hungarian Dance No.1 on the piano. The performance is one of
the earliest recordings ever made by a major composer.

In later years, Brahms often participated in performances of his own compositions. In

1890, at the age of 57, he decided to give up composing. But this did not last long. He
soon started composing again and his efforts in these final years produced several
works that are now recognized as masterpieces.

His most famous works are: Piano Concert No. 1 in D Minor, Piano Concert No. 2 in B-
flat Major, Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, Symphony No. 3 in F Major (3rd Movement),
A German Requiem, Violin Concerto in D Major, Hungarian Dances, Variations on a
Theme by Paganini, Lullaby.

Time to listen:

1. Hungarian Dance N°5 in G minor.

2. Symphony No. 3 in F Major (3rd Movement).

3. Lullaby
Ludwig van Beethoven

34
(Baptized 17 December 1770 in Bonn – 26 March 1827 in Vienna)

He was a German composer. He wrote classical music for the piano, orchestras and
different groups of instruments. His best-known works are his third ("Eroica"), fifth,
sixth ("Pastorale") and ninth ("Choral") symphonies, the eighth ("Pathetique") and
fourteenth ("Moonlight") piano sonatas, two of his later piano concertos, his opera
"Fidelio", and also the piano piece Für Elise. Beethoven lived when the piano was still a
new instrument, and when he was a young man, he was a talented pianist. Beethoven
was popular with the rich and important people in Vienna, Austria, where he lived.

In 1801, however, he began to lose his hearing. His deafness became worse. By 1817,
he was completely deaf. Although he could no longer play in concerts, he continued
to compose. During this time he composed some of his greatest works. He is said to be
one of the greatest classical composers who has ever lived. When Beethoven died, he
was surrounded by friends on his death bed. His funeral was held at the Church of the
Holy Trinity.

Between 10,000 and 30,000 people are estimated to have attended. Franz
Schubert was a pall bearer at his funeral, even though the two were never close.

Time to listen:

1. Symphony N°5 in C minor. Op 67 – 1st movement.

2. Symphony N°9 in D minor. Op 125 “Coral” – 1st movement.

3. Fü r Elise

Y tú campo de flores bordado
Es la copia feliz del Edén
Majestuosa es la blanca montañ a

Y ese mar que tranquilo te bañ a
Te promete un futuro esplendor

THE STAR – SPANGLED BANNER

Oh, say can you see,

By the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight’s last gleaming.
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight,

40
 O´re the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming.

And the rockets´ red glare,

The bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there.

Oh say, does that

Star-spangled banner yet wave,
O´re the land of the free
And the home of the brave.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

God Bless America.

Land that I love
Stand beside her, and guide her
Through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies ,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America

 My home sweet home.

God Bless America,

Land that I love
Stand beside her,
And guide her,
Through the night
With the light from above,
From the mountains,
To the prairies,
To the ocean,
White with foam,
God bless America,
My home sweet home.
God bless America,
My home sweet home.
