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.

Key Terms

  • 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).

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

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.

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