Brainlag PlusMusic in context shows a short Grade 5 melody and asks about it. Read it first as a player would: key and time, words and signs, then accidentals.
Three things to read first
The music in context section asks about a piece of music. This unit starts with a short melody; the next unit reads a longer extract. Read the melody first:
- Key and time: which two keys fit, and how many beats in a bar?
- Words and signs: the speed or character word, the dynamics, the articulation.
- Accidentals: a raised note near the end often shows a minor key's leading note.
Quick check
This melody has two sharps, an A sharp near the end, and ends on B. Which key?
