It is notated as a small note with a diagonal line through the stem to show that it really has no value.  \nLip trills  \nUsing the lips to produce a trill effect on brass instruments rather than the valves.  \nMordent  \nA musical ornament involving moving rapidly from one note, to another, then back again.  \nPortamento  \nSliding from one pitch to another  \nTremolo  \nA rapidly repeated note or a rapid alternation between two different notes. The note or notes to be played in this way are shown with one or more lines crossways through the stem to indicate the speed of repetition.  \nTrill  \nRapid alternation between two notes.  \nTurn  \nA musical ornament consisting of the note above the written note, the written note, the note below and the written note again.  \nArticulation  \nMarcato  \nMarked, i.e. accented (stressed on a certain note)  \nLegato  \nPlayed smoothly  \nStaccato  \nAn instruction to play the notes crisply, detached, which is shown in the music by placing dots above or below the notes being played.  \nTexture  \nTexture refers to the way that the various instrumental or vocal parts relate to one another.  \nMonophonic  \nMusic consisting of a single unaccompanied melody line.  \nHomophonic  \nA musical texture in which all parts move in a similar rhythm creating achordal effect.  \nPolyphonic  \nA musical texture where two or more parts move independently of eachother.  \nContrapuntal  \nTwo or more independent melodic lines performed at the same time.  \nCall and response  \nRefers to a musical texture whereby one musician or group of musicians makes a musical statement and this is immediately answered by another musician or group of musicians.  \nImitation  \nOne part copying or imitating another, not necessarily at the same pitch  \nAntiphonal  \nWhere a bar or phrase is alternated between two instruments, groups of instruments or singers; from 'anti' (opposite' or 'against') and 'phonos' (voice) .  \nUnison  \nTwo or more people performing the same note or melody.  \nHarmony  \nHarmony refers to the chords and cadences used.  \nDiminished seventh  \nA chord built up of minor thirds.  \nDominant seventh  \nThe dominant chord plus an extra note a minor seventh above the root or first note.  \nDrone  \nA harmonic effect where a single note or chord is sustained throughout a musical phrase. Often appears as a perfect 4th or 5th interval.  \nImperfect cadence  \nIn an imperfect cadence the last chord is chord V (the dominant) creating an unfinished effect.  \nInverted pedal  \nWhen the pedal (the sustained or repeated note) is played at a higher pitch than the other parts.  \nInversions  \nAn inverted chord is one where any note from the chord appears as the lowest in pitch other than the root.  \nModulation  \nProcess of changing from one key to another.  \nPedal  \nA sustained or repeated note, usually in the bass or lowest part, above which the harmony changes  \nPerfect cadence  \nTwo chords played as a progression to mark the end of a phrase. The chords are dominant to tonic, often shown by Roman numerals as V-I.  \nTierce de Picardie  \nA major chord used to end a piece in a minor key.  \nRhythm  \nRhythm refers to the patterns made by the notes and rests.  \nAnacrusis  \nAn upbeat to a musical theme starting before the first beat of the bar.  \nAugmentation  \nExtending a musical idea rhythmically. Typically doubling the length of the notes.  \nBackbeat  \n(Or offbeat) Refers usually to the second and fourth beat in a drum rhythm in 4/4 time.  \nBi-rhythm  \nTwo independent rhythms played simultaneously  \nCross Rhythm  \nWhen two different rhythms are heard together with different accented beats (different time signatures together)  \nDouble-dotted  \nA dot after a note increases its duration by half the original value. The second dot adds a further half of that half.  \nHemiola  \nA rhythmic device in which two groups of three beats ","cbCaih9jUBwXxStr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih9jUBwXxStr","pdf",144827,15,"English","# Ornamentation\n# Articulation and Performance Instructions\n# Texture and Musical Structure\n# Harmony and Chords\n# Rhythm and Meter\n# Dynamics\n# Melody and Intervals","[{\"question\":\"What is an acciaccatura in GCSE Music?\",\"answer\":\"An acciaccatura is a crushed note played for as short a time as possible.
