Fascinating Fact:

Accent means play the note with emphasis. Marcato is a stronger, slightly separated accent, great for march style beats.

In Specialist Music Theory Grade 2 Musical Terms Part 1, you’ll meet core instructions that tell performers how to play: dynamics, tempo, and articulation. Understanding these words helps you read, interpret, and perform music accurately.

  • Accent: Play the note with extra emphasis so it stands out from surrounding notes.
  • Marcato: A stronger, marked accent with a slightly separated feel; bold and decisive.
  • Articulation: How notes are connected or separated, such as legato (smooth) or staccato (short).
What does “accent” mean in music notation?

An accent tells you to stress a note more than others around it. You play it a little louder or with a sharper attack so it stands out.

What is the difference between accent and marcato?

Both add emphasis. An accent gives a strong attack; marcato is stronger and often slightly separated, creating a bold, marching character.

Which musical terms should I know for Grade 2 theory?

Know basics like p, f, crescendo, decrescendo, allegro, andante, staccato, legato, accent, marcato. These guide volume, speed, and articulation in performance.
