WORKSHEET 1: TIME SIGNATURES (Simple & Compound)


Simple Time Signatures:

The top number indicates HOW MANY beats in a bar


The bottom number indicates the TYPE OF BEAT
• 4 = each beat is a crotchet in length
• 8 = each beat is a quaver in length

Compound Time Signatures:


3
When a time signature can be divided by 2, then the time signature will
be COMPOUND. After the division, the top number will indicate the
number of beats, and the bottom number must be DOTTED as your type
of beat (see example below).

NUMBER: There are 2 beats per bar


6 3 2
÷ =
8 2 4 TYPE: Each beat is a DOTTED CROTCHET
3
(4 = crotchet, but after a 2 division, it is dotted)

Important:
• When determining the time signature, circle groups of notes that add
up to a beat. This will determine the number and type of beats. If
your beat is dotted, you will have to do the reverse of the above to
determine the time signature.
2 3 6
(4 X 2 = 8)

• When adding missing notes that must be grouped correctly, write the
beats per bar above the stave to ensure that you fill each beat
correctly.
• REMEMBER: When notes are BEAMED together, it shows that it belongs
to the same beat or group of notes.

WORKSHEET 2: KEY SIGNATURES (Major & minor)


1. Learn the circle of 5ths to know your key signatures:

2. Know the order of your sharps and flats:


Sharps→F C G D A E B Flats
e.g. A major has 3 sharps, therefore the first 3: F#, C# & G#
e.g. E♭ major has 3 flats, therefore the first 3 from the end: B♭, E♭ & A♭
3. The relative minor keys are 3 semitones and 2 letter names below the
major key:
e.g. the relative minor of A major is f# minor

3 semitones below A = F#/G♭


2 letter names below A = F
Therefore the relative is F# and not G♭

WORKSHEET 4: INTERVALS
An interval is the distance in pitch between any two notes. All intervals are
described in two ways: their DISTANCE and their QUALITY.
DISTANCE: When counting the notes of intervals, both notes are included.
QUALITY: Intervals can be classified as being major, minor, perfect, diminished
or augmented. To determine the quality of an interval, the bottom note is
seen as the tonic of the scale, i.e. if the bottom note is C, we pretend to be in
C major; if the bottom note is F, we pretend to be in F major, etc.
INTERVALS OF A 2nd, 3rd, 6th & 7th:
• If the top note is in the major key of the bottom note, the quality is MAJOR
• If the top note is a semitone flatter than in the major key of the bottom
note, the quality is MINOR
• If the top note is two semitones flatter than in the major key of the bottom
note, the quality is DIMINISHED
• If the top note is a semitone sharper than in the major key of the bottom
note, the quality is AUGMENTED
INTERVALS OF A unison/1st, 4th, 5th & octave/8th:
• If the top note is in the major key of the bottom note, the quality is PERFECT
• If the top note is a semitone flatter than the major key of the bottom note,
the quality is DIMINISHED (NB: minor does not exist for a 1st, 4th, 5th and 8th)
• If the top note is a semitone sharper than the major key of the bottom
note, the quality is AUGMENTED
NB: When writing intervals BELOW a given note, the bottom note becomes the
new tonic of the scale you are working in. You may not alter the given note.

1. Write the following intervals:

Aug. 5th Min. 3rd Min. 3rd Min. 6th Dim. 4th Maj. 3rd

WORKSHEET 5: TRIADS
A triad is a set of three notes that can be stacked vertically in thirds.
Triads are stacked from the bottom upwards:
• Bottom note = root (when the triad is written in its original form)
• Middle note = third (3rd)
• Top note = fifth (5th)
As with intervals, there are four types (qualities) of triads:
MAJOR MINOR DIMINISHED AUGMENTED

Intervals used: Intervals used: Intervals used: Intervals used:


major 3rd & perfect 5th minor 3rd & perfect 5th minor 3rd & diminished 5th major 3rd & augmented 5th
above the root note above the root note above the root note above the root note

Alternative way: Alternative way: Alternative way: Alternative way:


All 3 notes are in the A major triad with a A major triad with a A major triad with a
major key of the root flattened 3rd flattened 3rd and 5th sharpened 5th
note

The triads built on each note of a major scale will have the following qualities:

Scale

Technical Sub- Sub- Leading


Tonic Supertonic Mediant Dominant
name dominant mediant note
Roman
numeral I ii iii IV V vi viio
Quality MAJOR minor minor MAJOR MAJOR minor diminshed

Important notes:
• I, IV and V are called the primary triads of a key
• Use CAPITAL Roman Numerals for MAJOR chords
• Use lowercase Roman numerals for minor chords
• Diminished chords are indicated by lowercase Roman numerals, followed by a
superscript circle (0)

WORKSHEET 6: FOUR-PART CHORDS (I, IV, V)


The three PRIMARY triads of any key are:
• Tonic (I) - triad built on the 1st note of the scale
• Subdominant (IV) - triad built on the 4th note of the scale
• Dominant (V) - triad built on the 5th note of the scale

When writing chords in four-part harmony, remember the following:


• Treble stave: Soprano – stems up ; Alto – stems down
• Bass stave: Tenor – stems up ; Bass – stems down
• Double the root (1st) or 5th of a major chord
• There may not be more than an octave between the soprano
and alto parts
• There may not be more than an octave between the alto and
tenor parts
• Avoid parallel fifths and octaves between two chords.

In the exercises below, you will combine your knowledge of scales and triads to write the
primary chords of a given key in four-part harmony:

EXAMPLE: C MAJOR
1. Write the ascending C major scale, without key signature.
2. Write the three primary triads, without key signature. Indicate the key and figure your
triads.
3. Use minims to write the primary triads in four-part harmony, without key signature.
