+mellers Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 ...the Shard is presently the tallest building in Europe, but which building, presently under construction, will take that title off it? Yes, Marty's right. I'm afraid this one still hasn't been answered. Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 here's one: What are the 5 central notes which go 'on the lines' in the bass clef, and give a mnemonic for them for someone starting to read music. (I haven't phrased that very well, but I'm sure if you know the answer you know what I mean!) I think we're still waiting for someone to answer the previous question but as you've asked :- E, G, B, D & F "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" was what I remember from my school music lessons some 50 odd years ago!

+Fianccetto Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Oh dear, sorry I asked out of turn, I misread the previous posts and didn't read back far enough. I was looking up The Shard a while back...Is it a tower in Moscow, The Mercury building, something like that? Quote Link to comment

+Fianccetto Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Ah, thanks. Let's stick with the bass clef question, as Pharisee's answer was spot on for the treble clef... Quote Link to comment
Pajaholic Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 'Middle C' is the first line above the stave for the bass clef and the first below the stave for the treble. So the lines of the bass clef are G-B-D-F-A, but I was never taught a mnemonic and best guess would be "Good boys deserve (a) favour always". Quote Link to comment

Pajaholic Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks. Staying with theory of music, what does a dot on the score above or below a note signify? Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 It lengthens the note by half its original value. MrsB Quote Link to comment
Pajaholic Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 It lengthens the note by half its original value. MrsB That's what a dot after the note signifies. A dot above or below the note signifies something else. Quote Link to comment

A dot above or below the note signifies something else. Ah... yes, sorry... not paying attention... "Answer the question asked, not the one you think was asked." "Yes, Mr Weymouth." (The music teacher at our school.) Above the note (or below) - note should be played staccato. MrsB Quote Link to comment

+MTH Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I'm sure it was on a TV quiz show the other day, otherwise I wouldn't have a had a clue. I was dreading you asking who they were as I had to look up the answer. Then I was going to be mean and ask who they were but I decided against that (it was John Adams & Thomas Jefferson in case you're wondering). Sticking with history, who was on the British throne at the time? Mark Quote Link to comment
