Your music notation brush up! The 5 lines of music are called a stave. At the beginning of the line is the clef, ( treble, bass, tenor or viola clef) the time signature to tell you how many beats are in the bar, and the key signature. *Bar lines separate each measure or bar. *A double bar line or two lines indicate the end of a movement or piece. *In pre-contemporary music most melodies or themes were in groups of 4, 8 and 16 measures or phrases culminating in a cadence or finishing chord and tonality. This is why the music feels symmetrical. *A line over the music indicates the phrase. This line indicates that as much as possible, a string player should try to play this in one bow or to play it legato or smoothly, and a wind player should try to play it in one breath, also legato. interlude.hk
