When you start learning to read music, you’ll sound discover there are quite a few miscellaneous symbols in music that aren’t music notes. (Don’t confuse musical symbols with musical cymbals) Cymbals are those big round metal plates that are crashed together. Haha, just a quick music joke. Anyway, back to the serious business of helping you learn to read music. Here’s the first music symbol (we’ll cover one per post now)
Fermata – Sometimes people refer to the fermata as a “bird’s eye” or a hold. Any time you see a fermata over a note, it means to hold that note longer. If you’re playing in a band or orchestra, you’ll have to hold that note out until the conductor cuts the group. A fermata looks like this:
Learn to Read Music - A Fermata
Remember, in a piece of sheet music you may be learning it will be small and over a note in the score.
