Basic Music Theory Meme 101

1. What is the symbol above called?

It's a musical staff.

2. Imagine you are playing saxophone and suddenly see the symbol above in your music score. What do you do?

1-2-3-4, 2-2-3-4, 3-2-3-4, 4-2-3-4, 5-2-3-4...assuming there are 4 beats per bar.

3. And this ornate object is???

I have no earthly idea.

4. Are these two rests equal or unequal in value?

I believe the one on the left is 1 beat and the one on the right is 1/2 beat.

5. Name at least 2 things missing from the Treble and Bass clef show below that would be seen in an actual piece of music.

Key signature? Measures? Time signature? Note directionals (lines up/down)? You know what the best thing (for me)  about this is that I think this may be from a handbell chart.

6. Why is the treble clef above always getting in trouble? What is wrong with it?

It's frustrated because the 4 ran off with it's G-spot.

7. What is the name of this note?

It's a hemidemisemiquaver. Or possibly a semihemidemisemiquaver. I never remember precisely where one starts to count.

8. What is the key signature in the piece of music below?

Key of A. Wow, REALLY had to think about this! However, I can translate the title for you if you'd like....

9. What is the last note on a piano keyboard?

Which end? lol

1) Does absence make the heart grow fonder, or is that just a myth?

If your heart is really fond, it does stay fond, though it's not hard to mistake a crying shoulder for something else in the case of extended absence.

2) What's guaranteed to make you roll your eyes?

Intentionally idiotic behavior designed to manipulate or coerce others. Not necessarily mean stuff; overly cute kills me too.

3) If you had to change careers or jobs right now (and would be hired no-questions-asked anyplace) where would you go?

I would go to another part of the country (ahem...COLORADO...ahem) and take the exact same job I've got now, only full-time, with benefits.

4) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

It's clearly a caduceus, updated a bit. I like the staff and orb, but the rest of it doesn't really match. The snakes are wrong-ish.
