Brilliant. So clear and concise, short and snappy without any needless chatter. Every part of this instructional video moves you forward in your knowledge. Thankyou for putting this together. I now understand how these repeats work.
Oh! Dear Mikayla, You are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All these time I was not aware of these signs and learned a lot from you. Thanks hope to learn more from you.
This video is so good. Thank you! It's short, concise and straight to the point. Exactly what I was looking for as I've been struggling to understand these repeats and coda symbols. You've made it so much easier to understand when actually show examples of how they're used. 🙏
I've been looing for this information for a while now. Once I learned that it is called Musical Navigation, I found your video. I got exactly what I wanted/needed. Thanks.
Thank you, It is so much easier to understand when you actually demonstrate the concepts, as opposed to trying to understand it from a book or even an lecture.
Awesome. Thx. I use Nashville number system but many charts use these, most correctly, a few not😊 Thx for clarifying them, been 35 yrs since I read standard notation
There is also a “repeat the previous measure” symbol, and I think that “the sign” (or “Il Segno”) is supposed to be a combination of the “repeat the previous measure” symbol and the letter “S” (which probably stands for “Segno”).
Just what I was looking for! I'm self taught and play pretty well but my lack of formal training leaves me confused about the repeats. Great explanations, thank you for this Mikayla.
Confused with what you said in bold double bar, vs what's Chopin wrote in the first example..you said it's normal double bar repeat...but it's written bold double bar repeat...27 sec
Great video very helpful ! please a question if there are two repeat symbols //: to :// within the score. then at the very end of the complete music there is the repeat symbol :// do I repeat the full song and play the piece between twice again before continuing to the end ? it is in a grade book I have. Thank you EXAMPLE: 4/4 A B D G7 //: a b cm d:// G f#m D B / Cm F7 G A7 :// Thank you xx
Hi Mikayla, I have a song. Repeating first row twice. This is ok for me. and 4 rows more. Each row just play 1 time, and repeating first row, then second row and so on.... How to code and where? Can you help me. Just tell me where to code. Thank you.
Have you ever experienced a D.S. or D.C. without any further instructions like al coda or al fine? And do you write "Fine" in the notation ONLY if its not the last bar or are supposed to always indicate the end with a double bar line AND "Fine"? And finally is it "allowed" to use repeat signs within repeat signs or is this when you would use D.S.?
1- yes occasionally you can see DS or DC without fine or coda, and it would just mean go back to the sign/beginning and then play to the end. If the instruction is DS al Fine, there must be a fine written somewhere. If the “fine” is the last bar, they can either just write DS (no al fine), or write DS al fine, and then put fine over the last bar. Ideally, the double bar line should always indicate the last bar in the piece to be played (whether that is at the end of the page or not). 2- repeat signs within repeat signs are not really possible. This is when you would use a DS/DC, or creative use of different endings. A composer may also just rewrite the same material later on in the piece, if trying to indicate a repeat would become more complicated. hope that helps!
Outstanding explanation of repeats in music! Quite concise, clear, and to the point.
