Music Theory: Paper 6 - Triple time
Hello kids, mums and dads! 😃
You have now finished Theory Papers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. This week we will get you ready for PAPER 6. This time, Dani gives explains the key points to understand triple time 📝
🎶 Last week Sunita told us about F and G. This week's paper introduces us to a new kind of note. A dotted minim.
A dot after a note increases its length by half. So if a minim lasts 2 beats, a dotted minim will last 3, because:
The half of a minim, which has 2 beats, is 1.
2 + 1 = 3 Don't worry! Dani will guide you through. If you still need some help, write to us on our blog and we will happily help you on your way to learn your musical theory. So let's get started! 👍
For this week's theory lesson we will learn:
