Clef Literally means 'key', it's a symbol at the beginning of a staff that denotes the pitch of the notes.
Harmony when pitches agree or sound enjoyable
Melodic Interval the distance in pitch between two notes. A stepwise movement up or down is the melodic interval of a second.
Melody a sequence notes of different pitches that form a musical piece
Tie or Bind A tie or bind is a curved line above or below two notes which serves to add the value of these two notes together. Note that both notes must be in the same position on the staff.
A tie joins two notes of the same pitch: it can be confused with a slur, which links together notes of a different pitch. Tied notes always sound like one continuous note.
Time Values Crotchet : Americans use 'quarter note '. Minum : Americans use 'half note '.
Crotchets and minums have their stems going upwards on the right of the note when the pitch is below the middle line of the stave, and downwards on the left for notes that are above the middle line. Semibreve : Americans use 'whole note'.
The semibreve lasts as long as two minums or four crotchets. Quaver : Americans use eighth note
a note that is half as long as a quarter note. There are eight eighth notes to a whole note. A single eighth note is written with the tail to the right of the stem, whether the stem goes up or down. Two eighth notes together have their tails joined.
