Music Stuff for the Uker
Building a Musical Staff
A musical staff is a set of five horizontal lines containing notes, rests, and musical symbols. When notes are found off the staff, they’re placed on ledger lines.
• Measures
A measure is a section of the staff that comes between two bar lines (or barlines). Each measure satisfies the time signature; music written in 4/4 time will have four quarter-note beats per measure.
• Double Bar Lines
A double bar line is used to separate different sections of a song, and may mark the transition into a different time signature, key signature, or overall style.
A bold double bar line is a final bar line, and marks the end of a song or movement.
Note: The plural of staff is “staves.” In British English, a singular staff is called a “stave.”

Understanding Time Signatures
A time signature is a fraction found at the beginning of a piece of music, after the clef and key signature. Time signatures regulate rhythm by organizing beats in two ways:
• The top number shows how many beats occur in each measure.• The bottom number shows the length of the beats: A 4 means each beat is a quarter note long;
a 2 indicates a half note, etc.
Therefore, a 4/4 time signature has four beats per measure, with each beat equalling the length of a quarter note. A 3/4 time signature has three quarter-note beats per measure.
Common Time
4/4 time is also called “common time” because, you guessed it, it’s so common. You’ll see it a lot, so keep in mind:
1. It may be written 4/4, or with a c-shaped half-circle (this symbol does not stand for common time; learn its true meaning).
2. It’s also called “quadruple meter” or “imperfect time.”3. Cut common time is represented by the signature 2/2, or with a symbol similar to a cent sign.
Cut time changes the rhythmic feel, but is mathematically equal to 4/4 meter.
Time signatures organize beats, but the speed of a song depends on its tempo.

How to Read Musical Repeat Signs
The following musical symbols define the pattern or order of a song:
1. Repeat Barlines A passage between two repeat barlines is played at least two times in a row. After the repetitions are played, the song continues onto the following measures:
• If the right (or “end”) repeat is on the very last measure, the song will end after the repetitions are completed.
• If there is no left (or “begin”) repeat, the song will repeat from the beginning.
2. Volta Brackets Numbered brackets change the ending of each repeated passage:
• 1st Ending: The first time the passage is played, bracket 1 is played.• 2nd Ending: The second time around, the notation in bracket 2 is played.
A composition can contain any number of volta brackets (also called “time bars” or “endings”).

Understanding Segno and Coda Marks
Segno and coda marks belong to a system used to express complex repetitions:
1. D.C., or Da CapoIndication to repeat from the beginning, and is seen two ways:
• D.C. al fine : Repeat from the beginning, and end the song at the word fine.• D.C. al coda : Repeat from the beginning; play until you reach a coda (or the phrase al
coda), then jump forward to the next coda sign to continue playing.
2. D.S., or Dal SegnoIndication to repeat from the last segno; seen two ways:
• D.S. al fine : Repeat from the last segno, and end the song at the word fine.• D.S. al coda : Repeat from the last segno; play until you reach the first coda, then skip to
the next coda sign.
