Music Symbols
In the world of music notation, many different symbols are used to dictate what, as well as how, a piece is to be played. There are signs for changes in volume, speed, rhythm, and many, many other aspects of written music. Here is an extensive list of the most common, and some not-so-common symbols found in classical notation.

Key Signatures
In musical notation, a key signature is a specific number of sharps or flats, also known as accidentals, placed on the staff, that represent a song's key. The accidentals indicate that a note is to be consistently played one semitone higher or lower than the natural note on the staff. Key signatures are most commonly written after the clef and before the time signature of a piece. Here you will learn the different key signatures as well as related terms.

Interval Ear Trainer
When playing any two pitches or notes, there is a certain distance between the two sounds. This distance is known as an interval. This interval ear trainer will train you to identify the different intervals found in music. Doing so will help you in many other areas of music, such as melodic dictation, sight reading, and composing.

Chords have many different labels and names, stemming from what notes are being sounded together, to what the bottom note, or bass note is, as well as many other factors. Here we will cover basic chord theory shown in treble clef to gain an understanding of the many different types of chords there are.
