Musical terms

Question

I play the piano a little (I'm no musician). I would like to know some of the common musical terms (like treble clef or key signature). I know that a lot of these terms are Italian and don't change for either Spanish or English, but I'm looking for some of the other terms.

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Treble clef is "clave de sol". Bass clef is "clave de fa". A flat (as in B-flat) is "bemol" (B-flat = Si-bemol) A sharp (as in C-sharp) is "sostenido" (C-sharp = Do-sostenido)

The key signature is "la armadura" and the key that a piece is in is often referred to as "el registro" - mexbanks, Mar 9, 2010

Here is also a question I asked back in August. As you can see, this is also of interest to me. my music question

Answer 3

Calvo,

Here is a flashcard set I made a while back. I hope you find it helpful. music I play the piano also. I had the opportunity to work with some Dominican musicians last summer. One of my close friends, also from the DR, lives in the US now. He is an excellent musician. So if there are any additional terms you need, just send me a PM and I can ask him for you.

After looking at these flashcards again, I can see that I need to add many more terms, including the ones you listed in your question. - Nicole-B, Mar 8, 2010
