The plain number represents a quarter note (crotchet). Each underline halves the note length: One represents an eighth note (quaver), two represent a sixteenth note (semiquaver), and so on. Dashes after a note lengthen it, each dash by the length of a quarter note.

The top number of the time signature tells you how many beats to count. This could be any number. Most often the number of beats will fall between 2 and 12. The bottom number tells you what kind of note to count. That is, whether to count the beats as quarter notes, eighth notes, or sixteenth notes.

Tenuto: A tenuto mark is the opposite of staccato. It indicates that a player should take care to play the full value of a single note. For instance, if you see a half note with a tenuto mark above it, be sure to let it ring for the full half-note duration before moving on to the next note.

Tenuto. Hold the note in question its full length (or longer, with slight rubato), or play the note slightly louder. Marcato. Indicates a short note, long chord, or medium passage to be played louder or more forcefully than surrounding music.

Hold out that pitch just a little bit longer which. Means if you were gonna do our happy birthday. Would be like this. To you so just the first part that was without the tenuto.

Here's an example in context. Here are your two tenuto. So watch for those b-flat. Here's another example those who new toes. Have you practice thanks use it.

Most of the music you hear every day - popular, mainstream, Western music - is structured in sets of 8 beats (waltz, an exception, is in sets of 6). The 8 count defines the beat because, when you're able to count it, you have confirmation that you've found the beat.

triplets In music notation, triplets are always marked with the number 3 over or under the triplet notes. Sometimes triplets have a slur mark (an arc-shaped line), or they may have a bracket. Other times the 3 notes are just beamed together with the number 3 written near the beam.

A dominant seventh chord, or major-minor seventh chord is a chord composed of a root, major third, perfect fifth, and minor seventh. It can be also viewed as a major triad with an additional minor seventh. It is denoted using popular music symbols by adding a superscript "7" after the letter designating the chord root.

The note that has this mark above it must be given its full value in other words you have to squeeze every drop out of that quaver. Every moment out of that crotchet.
