How to Read Music
The Testing Rules:
Written exam can only be given once every 7 days. Grade it and if you have less than 90% of the definitions correct, re-test in 7 days. If you pass at 90%, make a note of the incorrect definitions and re-test those specific items in 7 days.
The Test
Make a list of all terms discussed in the lessons. The test will consist of you giving the definition for each item as well as writing an example of that item . For instance, if the item is “Whole note”, you must give the proper definition of a whole note, how many beats it takes up, and then draw a whole note on a staff.
