Music Theory:
Chords:

Note + 4st + 3st = Major

Note + 3st + 4st = Minor
Note + 3st + 3st = Diminished
Note + 4st + 4 st = Augmented

Cadences:

Perfect cadence: 5-1

Plagal cadence: 4-1
Imperfect cadence: [] - 5
Interrupted cadence: 5-6
Rhythm basics (Also need to know respective rests):
Semibreve = 4 beats
Minim = 2 beats
Crotchet = 1 beat
Quaver = ½ beat
Semiquaver = ¼ beat

Key Signatures:
Key signatures tells us what sharps or flat we have in a piece/scale
Order of sharps rhyme -> Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle <- Order of flats rhyme
Any key/scale with sharps in the key signature = take the last sharp and go up a semitone to
figure out the key
Key signatures with flats = Take the second to last flat and that’s it!
F Major = Key sig is different because it’s the ONLY scale where a natural major has a flat in its
key signature
