I. Basic Elements of Music Theory

This DemiDrills section covers pages 8-36 in the official curriculum guide. It discusses basic musical concepts and also explores more sophisticated details related to the creation and enjoyment of sound. This material is very challenging; dont worry if it doesnt all make sense at once.
1.01 MATCHING (8-14)

Left sock, right sock. Match the letter of the word on the left with its description on the right. Use each letter only once. a. music b. improvisation c. pitch d. scale e. half-step f. harmony g. enharmonic h. music concrte i. melody j. fundamental k. overtone l. whole step _____ 1. the loudest and strongest sound wave _____ 2. the occurrence of two pitches in succession _____ 3. the distance between every other key on a keyboard _____ 4. a sequence of notes in ascending or descending order _____ 5. a frequency higher than the fundamental _____ 6. the difference between two pitches _____ 7. sound organized in time _____ 8. the combination of a fundamental and overtones _____ 9. the simultaneous occurrence of two pitches _____ 10. the distance between each key on a keyboard _____ 11. spontaneous musical composition and performance _____ 12. highness or lowness of a sound _____ 13. collage of sound performed via loudspeaker _____ 14. notes identical in pitch

1.02 CLASSES (8-9)

Classify me. All of the most common Western orchestral instruments can be grouped using the Hornbostel-Sachs Classification System.

On the second image, label each section of the Circle of Fifths with the appropriate major key.
