1. Bell Ringer
Using the first two (choral) works from the packet handed out when you arrived to class today, analyze the use of notation for the vocal parts.
Make a list of the similarities and differences.
(For example, which clefs are use for each voice?)

2. Chapter 10
Notation and Scoring

3. Instrumental Music Notation - Review
Notes smaller than a beat unit are grouped together
Generally easy to see the beats within a measure

4. Vocal Music Notation Beat groups usually not grouped together
Tells which syllables are sung to which pitch

5. Four Part Harmony Notation - Closed Score
When writing two voices on staff (i.e. soprano and alto; tenor and bass) one part has stems going up, the other part has stems going down
Again, the high voice always has the stems going up. The lower voice has the stems going down.

6. Directions of Stems - Closed Score
Soprano - Treble clef; stems go up
Alto - Treble clef; stems go down
Tenor - Bass clef; stems go up
Bass - Bass clef; stems go down
In instrumental music, a closed score can also be called a condensed score.
Multiple instruments are placed on the same stave.

7. Open Scores
Each part has their own line (all conventional stem direction rules apply)
Soprano and alto voice are still written in the treble clef; bass voice is still written in the bass clef
Tenor voice is written in treble clef, one octave higher than where it is sung

8. Identification Practice
In the packet handed out to you, identify the type of each score for a vocal ensemble, wind ensemble, and jazz ensemble.

9. Practice
Take the open vocal score example and write the first two measures in a closed score format.
Take the closed vocal score example and write the first two measures in an open score format.

10. Keyboard Notation Four parts = Notice the stems
Two voices in treble clef
Two voices in bass clef
Notice the stems
Each staff is grouped together
Can also put 3 notes in one hand, as long as it makes sense (mm. 7-end)

11. Keyboard Notation Block chord notation examples
Can have three notes within an octave range in one hand
Stems in block chords attach all notes
Direction of stem = the majority of the notes direction
Ultimately, you must consider spacing
Within an octave
3 pitches per hand

12. Guitar Notation Classical Guitar Notation:
Has both melody and harmony lines
Hard to write for because of the limitation of the strings and pitches

13. Guitar Notation Popular-Music Notation Tablature Shows performer chord
Shows where to place fingers
