14 Pink Belt Aura Lee Pink Belt Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring What is the #? No that is not a #hashtag that is a sharp sign! # (sharp) = play a 1/2 step higher. (flat) = play a 1/2 step lower. When these signs are at the beginning of the music we call it the key signature. The key signature tells us to change all the notes on that line or space to a # or for the rest of the song. It is important to check the key signature so you know what notes to play. Start checking your notes because you will need to know they difference in a belt soon to come! 14

15 Blue Belt When The Saints Go Marching In A tie is a curved line which connects notes of the same pitch. Only the first note is played and then it is held for the total value of the connected notes. Blue Belt Amazing Grace Dotted quarter notes = 1 1/2 beats. The dot adds half the value of that note to make it longer. Eighth note = 1/2 beat. Two eighth notes joined by a beam get 1 beat so one note by itself gets 1/2 a beat! A fermata above a notes means to play the note a little longer. 15

Fine D.C. al Fine D.C. al Fine when you get to the end of the piece you must go back to the beginning and play until you see the word Fine. Fine is Italian for "end."

The remaining beats from that measure are found at the end of the music. 16
