Key Signature
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009
A Key signature is shown to the right of the clef symbol and will show a series sharp symbols or flat symbols which can be interpreted to deduce which key the piece is written in.
The Key of a piece means that when playing a piece of music, certain notes may be sharpened or flattened by the pieces key signature unless overridden by a natural symbol or an extra sharp/flat symbol. Therefore, on a Key Signature such as D Major, where the sharps are F# and C# each C note you see on the notation is played as C# and not C natural.
The word / term Sharp means to increase the pitch of a note by a semi-tone.
The word / term Flat or Flatten means to decrease the pitch of a note by a semi-tone.
The Table Below outlines the various Key Signatures you may encounter. There are many others but these are simply the basic or most common key signatures.
| Common Key Signatures | ||
| Key | Description | Key Signature |
| C Major | No Flats |  |
| D Major | Two Sharps |  |
| E Major | Four Sharps |  |
| F Major | One Flat |  |
| G Major | One Sharp |  |
| A Major | Three Sharps |  |
| B Flat Major | Two Flats |  |
| B Major | Five Sharps |  |
Time Signatures
A Time Signature indicates how many beats there are in each bar and which note is to be used as a beat. This basic introduction to time signatures will assume that the crotchet is to be used as the one beat measure – therefore all times will be something:4 time. Certain time signatures lend themselves to certain styles of songs, e.g. most waltzes are written in 3:4 time, and the majority of rock songs would be based around 4:4 time.

Final Steps in the Dissertation Process at Musicology
Sunday, September 13th, 2009
The procedure for completing the dissertation is as follows:
1. The full text must be submitted to the members of the dissertation committee for suggestions, corrections, changes, etc. Candidates are encouraged to discuss drafts of individual chapters with all members of the dissertation committee.
2. The candidate should check with the Director of Administration to be sure that all degree requirements have been met.
3. The application for the degree must be submitted to the Registrar by the date published in The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Handbook for the November, March, or May degree.
4. After the committee has approved the dissertation in its final form, an unbound copy must be submitted to the department at least 45 days before the Registrar’s deadline. During this 45-day period the members of the department are free to examine the completed dissertation.
5. For musicology students, a public colloquium on the dissertation is required shortly before or after it has been approved.
6. Copies: one copy bound and one copy boxed and unbound for the Registrar; one copybound for the Music Library. The library copy must be submitted to the department office before the dissertation acceptance certificate can be signed. The department administrator will obtain signatures from the committee. At this time, the university microfilms and RILM forms must be completed. The Registrar’s Office requires the dissertation certificate (one original, one copy), the university microfilms form, and its copies of the dissertation.
Satisfactory Progress
A student in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences must be making satisfactory progress in order to be eligible for any type of financial aid. The following nine items provide a general definition of satisfactory progress that has been adopted for this purpose by the Music Department. It is hoped that this requirement will have a healthy effect on students’ academic progress, and that it will enable us to preserve resources for those most deserving of financial assistance.
1. During the first two years of graduate study any student who is permitted to register is considered to be making satisfactory progress.
2. A prospective third-year student must have achieved the minimum grade-point average required by this faculty (B).
3. A prospective third-year student must have passed general examinations.
4. A prospective fourth-year student must have obtained approval of a dissertation prospectus.
5. A prospective sixth-year, or more advanced, student must have produced at least one acceptable chapter of the dissertation or its equivalent for each year beginning with the fifth.
6. Requirements 2-5 shall be cumulative.
7. A student who fails to meet a requirement may, upon the department’s recommendation, be considered to be an “exception” —and remain eligible for financial assistance —for a grace period of up to one year. At the close of the grace period, in order to be considered to be making satisfactory progress, the student must have met both the requirement missed earlier and the requirement that would normally be imposed at that time.
8. No student may have more than one such year of grace during his or her study.
9. In addition, the requirements of this calendar may be deferred by a department during one year of departmental approved leave. A department may, if it wishes, defer requirements for a more extended period of approved leave in order to facilitate a student’s obtaining a professional degree.
