 Step#1:
In this example, the performer plays through
the entire song, including the use of any
1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. "Endings"
or "Repeats" until they see a
message on the staff that looks like this
(step1 below):
Step
#2:
When you see the D.S. al Coda
message, go back into the song and look
for a symbol that looks like this (step
2 below):
It is usually located somewhere in the middle
of a song or at the beginning of a song
after the (Intro). This symbol is called
the "Sign."
Step
#3:
Continue playing the song from the "Sign"
symbol on until you reach another message
that looks like this (step 3 below):
Step
#4:
Then look at the last page of the song for
a symbol like this (step 4 below):
These
will be the last measures to play to complete
the song.
This
method of "Endings" can be confusing,
but it will become easier as you become accustomed
to using them. It is better to use this method
than having to turn many more pages while
trying to play a song. I would rather read
from 2 or 3 pages of music and not from 5
or 6 pages.
In
Lesson Five we will use what we have learned
here and how to apply it even more for performance
purposes. Good job! You have done well today.
See you in the Number 5 . . !
