    I would have liked more time to look over my melody. Overall thought the listening was good, the composition all right, don't really know.

    Fine, listening was standard. Very happy with the composition. I did both 65 minutes and left after that.

    Was q5 on harmonies in the composing paper in 4/4 or 3/4 time?

    Also, was there a bar you had to finish in the bass at the start, as I know I finished it 3/4 but was told the time Sig. was 4/4 after??

    Thanks

    Thought q 5 harmony was tricky enough! Was I the only one? :( Listening was grand though!

    No you weren't! Didn't realise there was an offbeat ah well!

    Offbeat? What's an offbeat? :O
    Don't you only have to account for that in the ending baseline bar, like only do 3beats instead of 4beats? Or does that effect the whole thing??

    It only affects the last bar I think so not really the end of the world!! :pac: An offbeat...yeah that's what my music teacher has always called it. Only from coming on boards did I realise people actually refer to it as an upbeat. SO same thing really.

    Not sure tbh I think it was good really. Harmony was a ****ing bitch though.

    An offbeat usually refers to notes where something happents but not on the strong beats. Like in a 4/4 the strong beats are 1 and 3 (count 1 2 3 4 a few times and you'll naturally hear yourself saying the 1 and 3 louder ... 2 and 4 are the offbeats).

    The correct term is 'upbeat' as it implies the complete phrase doesn't start on the 1st beat of the bar. Offbeat could refer to any part of the music where something occurs once as an offbeat (even with the phrase starting on the 1st beat).

    So.. 'upbeat' is the word we should use... or 'pickup' if you want to be a funky hipster from the states.

    Did anyone actually know what a flageolet was? It was never mentioned by my teacher before...

    I said it was pressing/plucking string lightly to sound an octave higher. Other people I know said it was pressing it lightly a 4th higher to make it sound 2octaves higher. Not sure really what they're looking for.

    Oh ok yes I'm familiar with offbeats like that, I play drums so :P phew, just got confused when someone said offbeat, I'm very used to upbeat and i accounted for it in the last bar! Crisis averted!
