Notes of stuff taught or I thought were being taught:
*Art is the dominance of a technique
*Practice generates progress, in contrast to assisting classes
*Theory makes chairs work better
*There's three clefs:  The higher pitched treble clef, has two dots in the G note next the central C, the middle-pitched tenor clef, that has two dots between the central C, and the low pitched clef, the bass clef, that has two dots surrounding the F before the central C
*In a score, everything above the central C is higher pitched
*A score is composed of the:  Clef, key signature, meter, and pentagram
*Sound origins from a vibration
The first quality of all sound:
1* Duration
	*Rhythm
		*Of the word (Free)
		*Of the dance (Regular)
			*Tempo
			*Metro
2* Altitude
	*Melody
		*Monody
	*Harmony
		*Polifony
			*Imitative (Echo)
			*Free (There may be consonance)
			*Heterophony (Variations of one melody with the same rhythm)
		*Accompanied melodies (A single melody accomanied with pillars or hanging harmonies)
3* Intensity
4* Texture

*The moment of playing a note and it reaching its loudness peak is called Attack, the decay is called Sonorous Asymptote;  the bigger the piano, the longer the asymptote
*Elements of music depends of expressivity needs
*We could spend all life inventing rhythms

Figures:
1 = whole note
2 = half note
4 = quarter note
8 = quaver note
. = dot of a dotted note

dotted note last half more of it's note value (150% total)

*Whole notes aren't slow or fast, so depend of the tempo

2/4 = quantity/figure (numerator/denominator)

*Meter says how much pulses there are per measure

Simple meter
2/4	4 4 | 88 4
Composed meter
3/8	4. 4. | 888 888

*Composed meters have a numerator that is divisible by 3
*Dominant is a tension axis
*The rootnote is a resting point
*3/4 with 6/8 are an hemiola

*Harmonic series are divided in partials, two examples per row
1:1 Do		1:1 G = 100 Hz
1:2 Do		1:2 G = 200 Hz (Octave)
1:3 So		1:3 D = 300 Hz (Perfect fifth)
1:4 Do		1:4 G = 400 Hz (Perfect fourth)
		*Accurate frequencies:
			*A=440Hz
			*G=391.22Hz	
1:5 Mi		1:5 B = 500 Hz (Major third)
1:6 So		1:6 D = 600 Hz (Minor third)
1:7 Re		1:7 F = 700 Hz
1:8 Do		1:8 G = 800 Hz

*A determined sound is produced by a set of harmonical frequencies
*The resultant waves are produced by the add and substract of harmonics
*It matters the highness of the pitch in an hymn, with the finality of being sung popularly


[... Lots of classes inbetween I may expand upon other time, I have an exam in some more hours and should focus on what will be on it]

Gregorian singing has three types
*By notes sung per silabe
	*Silabic (With a note per silabe)
	*Neuma (Or decorated) (With two or three notes per silabe)
	*Melismatic (Flowery) (Very ornate, with more than three notes per silabe)
*By type of text
	*Biblical (It appears in the bible)
	*Non-biblic (It doesn't appear in the bible)
*By way of interpreting it
	*Direct style (Only a chorus, or solist)
	*Anti-fonal (Alternation of two choruses)
	*Responsorial (Alternation of a solist and a chorus)

About the first recorded use of musical notation
Canonical hours or divine service/duty are the next ones:
*Maitins (Before sunrise)
*Lauds (Sunrise)
*Prime (First hour after sunrise, after 6AM)
*Terce (Third hour after sunrise, after 9AM)
*Sext (Mid-day)
*Nones (After 3PM)
*Vespers (After sunset, habitually after 6PM)
*Compline (Before night rest, at 9PM)

A bunch of prayers made usually when it isn't a Mass Proper festivity or time, is called Ordinary;  traditionally they are the next five parts sung by a chorus:
*Kyrie eleison (Father have mercy)
*Gloria (Glory to god in the heaven)
*Credo (I believe in only one god)
*Sactus (Holy, holy, holy is the father)
*Agnus Dei (Sheep of god)

Mass Propers are in this order
*Introit
*Collect
*Epistle
*Gradual
*Alleluia or Tract, depending of liturgic time
*Sequence
*Gospel
*Offertory
*Secret
*Communion
*Postcommunion

*In Lent and Advent, alleluia isn't sung, by it being a joyful singing
*Gregorian singing began monodic, and for singing texts, music depended on word, until baroque era
*Measures are a way of regularly measuring accents
*Greek modes are 8 different ways to express different emotions
*The leading-tone is always the last sharp note* (This one doesn't make sense to me yet, but is what I wrote, I may have written it wrong
*Second to last flat shows the order of the tonality* (Note to self:  Check the wording of this one)
*Melodies have tension axes, resting axes, mediums, ambits*
*Recurring motivs are what most gives expressivity to the melody*
*Imitative polifony may be the origin of canons and fugues*
*The technique to do harmony is counter-point* (Is this right?
*Dinamycs are the change of volume, in old times it was used to enfatice text;  text ruled over*
*Pure music (instrumental) are sonatas and tocatas, sonatas are when the interpreter directly plays the instruments, and tocatas when the interpreter plays instruments through a mechanism* (Note to self:  Look for another sources too)
*Sonata Piano-forte what the first one;  in 1580, where there was soft and loud piano playing*  (Isn't this a contradiction of the very previous statement?)
*Exposition of a piece shows conflicts of voices
*Development shows the conversation;  it could grow larger, like the dialectic way of thinking
