Music Theory 4

Surely three
was enough?
Recap and Onwards

→ Intervals, vocal range, articulation

→ Alto clef
→ Modulation
→ Voicing
→ Key signatures
Alto Clef

Top – Treble clef

Middle – Alto clef

Bottom – Bass clef

Each has it's own way of writing out

a scale. Middle C is used here for
illustrative purposes.
Modulation
→ Why do we modulate?
Different types of modulation

→ Up a semi-tone

→ Up a minor 3rd

→ Up a 4th or 5th
Voicing

All musicals are 'voiced' in a

particular way.

Harmonisations will give a different

timbre depending on where they are
voiced.
Key signatures

• Major is exactly as it says on the tin...

• Minor will usually include a raised 7th...
