Maybe not. I would give yourself a chance. After all, you have had some instruction in music, even though it might have been a long time ago.

First question is coming.

What is the name of this music sign?

Attachment 17843

It be a Treble cleft? D:

You're correct! See, you do know something!

Now, what parts play or sing in the treble clef in music, please?

Lol uh omg I was told this in the morning. Is it the left hand? And notes that aren't crazy and upside down?

Okay. So you don't know, and that's okay! Your education concerning music is something that's happening right here.

Music that's written in the treble clef are for the higher notes and sounds above middle "C" on the piano. "Treble" basically means "high".

What is this sign, please?

Attachment 17844

Ohh okay. :)

That one is a Bass cleft?

You're correct! It's a bass clef sign! What parts play or sing in the bass clef, please?

I think it's like the lower sounds. Like in the gangsta rap that goes boom-chack lol.

Yes, it's used for the lower tones or sounds below middle "C" on the piano.

Where is the "C" located on the following image of a piano keyboard, please? Where on the left or right side? First, second, third etc. note from the left side of the keyboard? You could describe where it is located in a number of ways.

It seems the attachment link is not working?

Ah.. just kidding it didn't decide to appear until now. But I have no idea were the C is. :)

Okay. I know that the first time that I posted the image that it didn't appear. I don't know why it didn't, but I then fixed it.

The "C" is the very first white note on the left.

How many letters of the alphabet are used when writing or playing music, please?

Is it seven? I remember there is like c gab def

Your correct! It's seven! A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. After that, the sequence of letters just starts over. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, etc.

Did you understand that the first white note to the left on the image of the piano keyboard is a "C"? If you might, then where do you think the "E" might be located in relation to the "C", please?

Yay! Would it be one letter over, after C? :0

I think that I understand what you're saying. Yes, it would be one letter over after the "C" on the white keys.

I'll post an image of the Virtual Keyboard in just a bit to help you to find notes.

Something weird is going on with my computer, so I'm going to restart it and come back on here in just a little bit.

Thanks!

It would always go in order like you posted up before? Starting from A?

Okie dokie. :)
I need to get to sleep. XO
Could we continue tomorrow?

Yes, they go from left to right in the order of the alphabet for seven letters.

Yes, we can continue tomorrow night. I restarted and appear to have lost my screen capture utility, so it would be hard for me now to post images of things like the Virtual Keyboard that I wanted to post. Things should be better on my computer tomorrow. It always acts weird after I've unplugged it an moved it.

I wish for you a goodnight and rest! :)

Thanks!

Hey just a quick post before I go to my cousin's birthday today haha.

I changed the words a bit and added a couple lines.
The added lines are like saying that I found him and without it it sounds like I lost and haven't found yet.
What do you think?

From the fairytale that brought me to you,
Even after the time you vanished,

I haven't forgetten,
I've always thought of you.

I'm reading again, my lost book,
Chapter after chapter.

However this story unfolds, throughout stormy days,
And through muddy roads, you'll still be my prince.

Where you go, I will come.
Where I can't, I await.

To be there for you,
I promise you.

Okay, I'll work on this later this evening, Shiang. I'm not sure just yet, but I might have to change the melody a bit.

I don't have much time now because of having to work.

I hope that you have a great time at your cousin's birthday party! :)

Hi Clough.
They say God has a sense of humor and I am living proof.He gave me a love of music ,an appreciation of lyrics and a tin ear and a worse voice.I had a friend who forbade me from singing in her car! Like they say * I could not carry a note in a paper bag*.That's me!
I have dabbled with guitar and piano and harmonica but ,to be honest I would not call it *playing* an instrument.
Keep up the good work with helping these aspiring artists.It is so important to have this creative outlet and what you are doing is very kind.

Thank you so much for your kind words, artlady! They are much appreciated! Would you like to improve your skills at the piano and develop a better ear for how you might produce music that you can make yourself? I can show you how...

Back from cousins house haha.

Melody change is fine. :)

And play computer at work? :s

I hope that you had a good time at the party!

I'm not sure what you mean by "And play computer at work?"

Please go to the link for the virtual piano and let me know when you're there and it's loaded up for you to play it.

VIRTUAL KEYBOARD - PIANO

I forgot to mention, that please open up the virtual keyboard in a separate browser or tab.

Thanks!

Do you know the song, "Mary Had a Little Lamb?"

I've got it in a separate window.

I heard that one before, in nursery.

If you know how the words go, would you please write them here? I want to make sure that you really know it.

This is all leading up to your being able to play the song that we're writing together.

Thanks!

Mary had a little lamb
Little lamb
Little lamb

Mary had a little lamb
And it was white as snow? XD

Hey, that's good!

Here's the notes that you would use on the virtual keyboard.

E, D, C, D, E, E, E__, D, D, D__, E, G, G__, E, D, C, D, E, E, E, E, D, D, E, D, C__

Where I've written a "__", that is where you would play a note for a longer time.

Please play it on the keyboard.

Thanks!

I played it a few times, but the E, E, E__ doesn't sound right. :\

The three "E"'s in a row is correct. There might be some variations on the song, but that is the usual way that it is played.

Did it sound like the way that you remember it?

Lol the E was just really abrupt? It did sound like I remembered though.

That's good!

Here's the real music to it that's taken from the following site.

Free Piano Music!

There is only one note that's different from the ones that I gave to you.

What do you think the letter name of the first note is?

Attachment 17882

I guess E is what it starts with?

That's correct! "E" is the bottom line of the treble clef staff!

What do you suppose those numbers under the notes are for?
