I was a bit shocked when I found out alot of the musicians out there really don't know a whole of alot on how to read music. So I though I might add a bit of intermediate Notation of a few short cuts in music.

I divided this sheet into a few sections, the first part goes over the dynamics of Tempo and velocity of how hard or soft one should play I will get more in depth of this a bit latter but though of to add this so you know what changes to watch out for. Also I included the Fermata and what it looks like Since I really am shocked noone ever seen one before -.-...

I Also want to Note about the Slashed Notes. Alot of guitarists will sometimes say this is Tremolo YOU ARE WRONG, Its actrually a repeated note and means to reapeat that note over and over. As you can see listed.

A tremolo is actrually the same note but being played at a diffrent velocity or volume. A Vibrato is the same note but will constontly alter its pitch. Ill go more into depth of this also latter on.

Next I listed the diffrences between a Slur, Tie and Phase since that can be a bit confusing if you don't watch out for it.

I also listed Tenuto, and Staccatto, Note that in a staccatto the dot is above or below the note and not to the right of the note. There are such things as a dotted note. A dotted note is like a tie between that note and its half. Example is a Whole doted note will be a played as a tie between a whole note and a half note.

And Finally I added the symbols for Turns, Trills and Modents. Allot of my music includes theses especially my classical pieces. Most modern music has long forgotten these and are found most popular in Baroque Chamber music. Irony has it that many heavy metal groups will use them, but doesn't use the symbols for them and just write it out. Though the "Short cut" symbol does make writing your music on a sheet look alot nicer and neater.
