Mini Music Lesson: Cymbal Crash!
Let’s put those finger cymbals to work!
In this lesson, we’ll listen to a portion of the final movement of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 in F Minor. During these last few measures the cymbals go CRAZY crashing 115 times in 60 seconds!
Here are some words that may be helpful for you to know:
Measure-A measure (or bar) is a group of notes divided by vertical lines. In this excerpt there are 38 measures of music.
Rest-A rest is a beat of silence. We’ll see several types of rests in this piece of music.
Eight Rest-Half a beat of silence
Quarter Rest-One beat of silence
Half Rest-Two beats of silence
Whole Rest-Four Beats of silence
