Brainlag PlusGrade 4 asks you to recognise ornament signs: the trill, the turn, upper and lower mordents, the acciaccatura, the appoggiatura and grace notes.
Signs over the note
Signs such as staccato change how a note is played; ornaments decorate it.
- Trill (tr): alternate quickly between the note and the note above.
- Turn: the note above, the note, the note below, then the note.
- Upper mordent: the note, the note above, the note again, quickly.
- Lower mordent (a line through the sign): the same, with the note below.
Quick check
