Knowledge of Conventions in Musical Scores
On offer by request
Updated Feb 2022
This particular standard is all about being able to read music. Not necessarily understanding what each note is, but understanding the language we use to interpret certain directions. Whilst playing by ear is a popular way in which a majority of players use, everyone knows there's nothing quite the same as being able to read music and understand some theory behind your playing.
Conventions refer to:
terms, signs and performance markings
rhythm and metre
pitch
tonality and harmony
texture
instruments aka TIMBRE
form and structure
compositional devices.
