Understanding Repeats

—of what you call, I guess lines would be something that—you could call them—let me zoom in this one. Okay, to continue this there certain lines that you can have within music, one being a crescendo. These are title here, this is are your crescendos but the main thing we’re here are the repeat signs. So most of the repeats that you know are things like this—let me just do cancel here and let me go to layout create bar line and repeat. So most of the repeats that you know about are these guys right here and while that’s cool what do you do if the first time like you—let's say zoom out here for a minute. What do you do if the first time you wanted—by the way this song that I'm going to play here I'm going to show Beat It in tribute for Michael Jackson, this is awesome. So let's just continue this. So, if I'm playing this piece of music here and let's say the first time running through, let's say I'm on this measure and the first time you through I want to have you play, let say like from here to here, okay? And I want to repeat, so let's do create bar line and repeat, okay. That’s cool. For now what do you do if—let me just delete this. What if I wanted this to be repeated, create bar line exactly? Okay, so now, this one here these three measures here to here to here are all going to be repeated, okay. But now what do you do if the first time you wanted a different ending. So I want this ending to sound different and this ending. So that’s when you reduce these lines, okay. So, you're telling your performers at this measure right here—I want you—that would be the first ending. And then—roll up to move this in. And then for right here I want this to be my second ending. So now, instead of in no repeat you will have this play here then here and let me zoom in, I'm sorry. So you would have it go here then here then here then it will hit this repeat sign then it will go back to here then here then here and then it will go to next ending. Because of this lines that I just put in these two, this end repeat or this ending whatever you want to call, because of this right here it’s saying you're going to play this then this then this for the first ending that it goes here then here then it’s skips this and jump straight to two. And by the way, these two it doesn’t even have to be here that two to be here if you want—the two could be here if you wanted it to be. So now, what we have is this where it just skips this two measures and going straight to the second ending. So let's hear how that sounds. [Demonstration] You know what they—I got this repeat sign here that’s why. All right, so let's take this away and now hear this, okay? [Demonstration] Okay, so that’s the idea of using alternative ending and the great thing about that is that it gives you your music a little bit of jazz, okay. Not jazz in terms of the musical genre, but some different kind of feel, okay. So that’s all really, really important as a musician and here I'm obviously using 0418 some things like that. So that’s the idea guys so have fun with it and there's a bunch of reliance—this ties can also be called slurs as you all know. These are ties and slurs. All right here this is trill. The trill is when a note goes up and down, up and down, up and down so if I where to like—I don’t want to get too crazy with it so let me just do once. If I were to—this is—let me see if I can zoom in here. [Demonstration] So yes, there it is. [Demonstration] All right, so that’s a trill, okay. So did you hear how that played? [Demonstration] All right, so right than just this note it’s actually went— [Demonstration] So when like that, okay. [Demonstration] All right, so that’s the idea with that and just add different alternate ending throughout your piece of the music it’s all really, really cool, these are all dynamic markings, I don’t want to get to afraid of that. But that just you're dealing music lesson for today of how to read music and different things like that. So try write some of your music, try to write some alternate endings and see how that works and really grow your musical writing so that your music it doesn’t sound so scale. That’s all guys, I hope that helps and we will see you all back here tomorrow then you stop.
