Fascinating Fact:

Repeat signs are double barlines with two dots. Play to the dots, jump back to matching dots, then continue.

In Specialist Music Theory Grade 2 Signs, you learn how navigation marks control form. You will read repeats, first and second time bars, codas, and directions such as D.C. al Fine.

  • Repeat sign: A double barline with two dots that tells you to go back to the matching dots and play again.
  • First and second time bar: Brackets over bars. Play the first ending the first time, then skip to the second ending after the repeat.
  • D.C. and D.S.: D.C. means go to the start. D.S. means go to the sign. Both often end at Fine or jump to a Coda.
What do the two dots in a repeat sign mean?

The two dots tell you to repeat the section. Play from the start or from the previous repeat sign, then continue past the second repeat sign.

How do first and second endings work in music?

Play the first ending on the first pass, then repeat. On the second pass, skip the first ending and play the second ending before continuing.

What is the difference between D.C. and D.S.?

D.C. sends you back to the very beginning. D.S. sends you back to the special sign symbol. Both may finish at Fine or jump to a Coda.
