Simplified musical notation is a notation method. Because it is simple, clear and easy to understand, it is very convenient in notating and reading music.

Simplified musical notation is a notation method that uses Arabic numerals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 to record pitches.

Singing method: do ri mi fa sol la si do

Add a small dot above the note , which means singing an octave higher, adding two dots means two octaves higher; conversely, adding a dot below means singing an octave lower, adding two dots means two octaves lower.

To accurately represent the absolute height of the note, key signature markings must also be used. The key signature is represented by 1=F, 1=G...etc.

The length of the sound is represented by adding a dash behind or below the note.

Whole note 5 — — — sing on four beats

Half note 5 — sing on two beats

Quarter note 5 — sing on one beat

Eighth note 5 (add a short horizontal line under the note) sing half a beat

Sixteenth note 5 (add two short horizontal lines under the note) sing a quarter beat< /p>

Thirty-second notes (add three short horizontal lines under the note) sing one-eighth beat

The basic symbol indicating the rest of the note is 0. To represent rests of different lengths, increase the number of zeros. The commonly used rests are as follows:

Full rest: 0 0 0 0

Half rest: 0 0

Quarter rest: 0

Eighth minute rest: 0 (plus one dash below)

16th minute rest: 0 (plus two dashes below)

Thirty-second rest: 0 (plus two dashes below) Three horizontal lines)

There is no clef problem in the simplified musical notation system. Its pitch is represented by notes and key signatures.

The time signature in simplified music notation is the same as the staff notation. It is marked with fractions. It is recorded together with the key signature at the lower left of the music name. The key signature is recorded first and the time signature is followed. To the lower right of the music title is the name of the songwriter.

The above introduction is only the most common knowledge in simplified musical notation, which is very incomplete. If you want to learn in depth, I recommend a book "Learning Notation from Scratch" by Shanghai Conservatory of Music Press, which should be available in bookstores. Or "New Concept Music Theory Tutorial - Staff, Simplified Notation - Starting to Learn" edited by Ren Damin, People's Music Publishing House.
