这本复习指南专为学习 AQA 音乐课程的七年级学生编写。文章梳理了考试中最高频的考点以及学生在评估中最常见的错误，帮助你更有针对性地复习，加深对重要音乐概念的理解。下面各节的顺序与课堂讲授顺序基本一致：先节奏，再音高，然后和声，最后是听辨与评析技能。
Each section contains the key knowledge you must be able to recall, followed by the mistakes that examiners and teachers see most often. Read the English first, then check the Chinese version to confirm that you have understood the musical point rather than just the words.
每一节都包含你必须能够回忆起来的关键知识，随后列出考官和老师最常看到的错误。请先读英文，再对照中文版本，确认你理解的是音乐概念本身，而不只是文字。
1. Rhythm and Note Values | 节奏与音符时值
In Year 7, you must be confident with basic note values: semibreve (4 beats), minim (2 beats), crotchet (1 beat), quaver (½ beat) and semiquaver (¼ beat). Rests mirror these values, so you must be able to draw and identify them correctly in a score.
在七年级，你需要熟练掌握基本音符时值：全音符（4 拍）、二分音符（2 拍）、四分音符（1 拍）、八分音符（½ 拍）和十六分音符（¼ 拍）。休止符与这些时值一一对应，因此你必须能在乐谱中正确画出并识别它们。
| Note | 音符 | Rest | 休止符 | Beats in 4/4 | 4/4 拍中的拍数 | Chinese | 中文名 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semibreve | Semibreve rest | 4 | 全音符 |
| Minim | Minim rest | 2 | 二分音符 |
| Crotchet | Crotchet rest | 1 | 四分音符 |
| Quaver | Quaver rest | ½ | 八分音符 |
| Semiquaver | Semiquaver rest | ¼ | 十六分音符 |
A frequent mistake is miscounting dotted notes. A dot adds half the value of the note it follows, so a dotted minim equals 3 beats (2 + 1), not 2½, and not two separate notes. A dotted crotchet equals 1½ beats, and a dotted quaver equals ¾ of a beat.
一个常见错误是数错附点音符。附点会增加其前方音符时值的一半，所以附点二分音符等于 3 拍（2 + 1），不是 2½ 拍，也不是两个独立音符。附点四分音符等于 1½ 拍，附点八分音符等于 ¾ 拍。
Dotted value = note value × 1½ | 附点时值 = 原时值 × 1½
When beaming quavers, remember that in simple time (2/4, 3/4, 4/4) you should beam in groups of beats, not always across the whole bar. Misbeaming is a typical mistake in notation tasks because it makes the beat pattern invisible to the reader.
连接八分音符的符尾时，记住在单拍子（2/4、3/4、4/4）中应按照节拍分组，而不是总把整个小节的八分音符连成一片。符尾连接错误是记谱题中的典型错误，因为这样会让读者看不出节拍走向。
2. Time Signatures and Bar Lines | 拍号与小节线
ch bar, and the lower number tells you which note value counts as one beat (4 = crotchet, 8 = quaver, 2 = minim).
拍号出现在乐曲开头，紧跟在谱号和调号之后。上方数字表示每小节有多少拍，下方数字表示哪一种音符时值算作一拍（4 = 四分音符，8 = 八分音符，2 = 二分音符）。
Common time signatures in Year 7 are 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4. The letter C stands for common time and means the same as 4/4, while C with a vertical line through it means 2/2 (cut common time, also called alla breve), where a minim takes the beat.
七年级常见的拍号是 2/4、3/4 和 4/4。字母 C 表示 common time（常用拍），等同于 4/4；而带竖线的 C 表示 2/2（cut common time，也称 alla breve），此时以二分音符为一拍。
The strongest beat is the first beat of the bar (the downbeat). In 2/4 the pattern is strong-weak; in 3/4 it is strong-weak-weak, which is why a waltz feels different from a march. In 4/4 the pattern is strong-weak-medium-strong-weak.
最强的拍子是小节的第一拍（强拍）。2/4 的模式是强-弱；3/4 是强-弱-弱，这正是圆舞曲听起来与进行曲不同的原因。4/4 的模式是强-弱-次强-弱。
The most common mistakes here are writing a bar with the wrong number of beats, forgetting the bar line at the end of a piece (a double bar line closes the music), and misreading 6/8 as a simple time signature. 6/8 is compound duple: it has two dotted crotchet beats per bar, so you count it in 2, not in 6.
这里最常见的错误包括：写出拍数错误的小节；忘记乐曲结尾的小节线（终止线用于结束乐曲）；把 6/8 误读为单拍子。6/8 是复二拍子：每小节有两个附点四分音符拍，因此要按 2 拍来数，而不是按 6 拍数。
3. Pitch, Stave and Clefs | 音高、五线谱与谱号
Pitch is written on a stave of five lines and four spaces. The treble clef (G clef) curls around the second line from the bottom, showing that this line is G. The bass clef (F clef) has two dots that sit either side of the fourth line, showing that this line is F.
音高写在由五条线和四个间组成的五线谱上。高音谱号（G 谱号）环绕着从下往上第二条线，表示这条线是 G。低音谱号（F 谱号）的两个圆点夹住第四条线，表示这条线是 F。
Learn the note names in order. In the treble clef the lines from bottom to top are E G B D F, and the spaces spell F A C E. In the bass clef the lines are G B D F A, and the spaces are A C E G.
要按顺序记住音名。高音谱号中，从下往上的线是 E G B D F，四个间构成 F A C E。低音谱号中，线是 G B D F A，间是 A C E G。
Notes above or below the stave are written on ledger lines. Middle C sits on the first ledger line below the treble stave and on the first ledger line above the bass stave, which is why it is the meeting point of the two clefs.
超出五线谱范围的音写在加线上。中央 C 位于高音谱表下方第一条加线上，同时位于低音谱表上方第一条加线上，这正是它成为两个谱号交汇点的原因。
The typical mistake is reading a note correctly in one clef but forgetting to change reading when the clef changes, or mixing up the direction of sharps, flats and naturals. Remember that a sharp (♯) raises a note by a semitone, a flat (♭) lowers it by a semitone, and a natural (♮) cancels a previous sharp or flat.
典型错误是在一个谱号中读对音，却在谱号改变时忘记切换读法，或者混淆升号、降号和还原号的方向。记住：升号（♯）将音升高一个半音，降号（♭）将音降低一个半音，还原号（♮）取消之前的升或降。
4. Intervals and Scales | 音程与音阶
An interval is the distance between two notes. To count an interval correctly you must include both the starting note and the finishing note: C up to E is a 3rd (C, D, E), and C up to G is a 5th (C, D, E, F, G). An octave spans eight letter names, as in C up to C.
音程是两个音之间的距离。要正确数出音程，必须把起始音和结束音都算进去：C 到 E 是三度（C、D、E），C 到 G 是五度（C、D、E、F、G）。八度跨越八个音名，例如 C 到高音 C。
The smallest interval is a semitone, which is the distance between two adjacent keys on a piano, including black keys. A tone equals two semitones. Recognising tones and semitones is essential for building scales and for singing or playing accurately.
最小的音程是半音，即钢琴上相邻两个键之间的距离，包括黑键。全音等于两个半音。识别全音与半音对于构成音阶以及准确演唱或演奏至关重要。
A major scale follows the pattern tone-tone-semitone-tone-tone-tone-semitone. On C this gives C D E F G A B C, which is why C major has no sharps or flats.
大调音阶遵循"全-全-半-全-全-全-半"的模式。从 C 开始就是 C D E F G A B C，这正是 C 大调没有升号或降号的原因。
Major scale: T – T – S – T – T – T – S | 大调音阶：全 – 全 – 半 – 全 – 全 – 全 – 半
The common mistake is forgetting to count the first note, so C to E is wrongly called a 2nd instead of a 3rd. Another frequent error is writing a scale with the right notes but the wrong pattern of tones and semitones, for example putting the semitone between the wrong pairs of notes.
常见错误是忘记把第一个音算进去，于是把 C 到 E 错称为二度而不是三度。另一个高频错误是音阶的音名写对了，但全音与半音的位置写错，例如把半音放在错误的音对之间。
5. Key Signatures, Major and Minor | 调号、大调与小调
A key signature is a group of sharps or flats placed after the clef and before the time signature. It tells you which notes are altered throughout the piece, so you do not need to write those sharps or flats again in every bar.
调号是一组升号或降号，写在谱号之后、拍号之前。它告诉你全曲中哪些音被升高或降低，因此不必在每一小节中重复写出这些升降记号。
The order of sharps is F C G D A E B, and the order of flats is the reverse: B E A D G C F. In Year 7 you should know at least these: C major has no sharps or flats, G major has one sharp (F♯), D major has two sharps (F♯ C♯), and F major has one flat (B♭).
升号的顺序是 F C G D A E B，降号的顺序正好相反：B E A D G C F。七年级至少应掌握以下调：C 大调没有升降号，G 大调有一个升号（F♯），D 大调有两个升号（F♯ C♯），F 大调有一个降号（B♭）。
Every major key has a relative minor key that shares the same key signature. You find it by going down a minor 3rd from the tonic, or up a major 6th. C major and A minor share the same key signature, so a piece with no sharps or flats may be in either key.
每个大调都有一个关系小调，二者共享同一调号。方法是从主音向下数一个小三度，或向上数一个大六度。C 大调与 a 小调共享同一调号，因此没有升降号的乐曲可能属于其中任一调。
The most common mistake is applying the key signature only to the first bar, when in fact it applies to every bar until it is cancelled. A second mistake is confusing the key signature with an accidental: an accidental only affects the note it is next to, for the rest of that bar only.
最常见的错误是只把调号应用到第一小节，而实际上它对之后的每一小节都有效，直到被取消。第二个错误是把调号与临时记号混淆：临时记号只影响它旁边的那一个音，并且只在本小节内有效。
6. Chords, Triads and Harmony | 和弦、三和弦与和声
A triad is a chord of three notes built on alternate notes of the scale: the root, the third and the fifth. In C major, the triad on C is C-E-G, the triad on F is F-A-C, and the triad on G is G-B-D.
三和弦是由音阶上相隔一个音的三个音构成的和弦：根音、三音和五音。在 C 大调中，C 上的三和弦是 C-E-G，F 上的三和弦是 F-A-C，G 上的三和弦是 G-B-D。
Chords are often labelled with Roman numerals. In C major the most useful ones are I (C major), IV (F major), V (G major) and vi (A minor). Notice that major chords use capital numerals and minor chords use lower-case numerals.
和弦常用罗马数字标记。在 C 大调中最实用的几个是 I（C 大调）、IV（F 大调）、V（G 大调）和 vi（a 小调）。注意大和弦用大写数字，小和弦用小写数字。
A cadence is the pair of chords that ends a phrase. The perfect cadence is V-I and sounds finished; the imperfect cadence ends on V and sounds unfinished; the plagal cadence is IV-I, often heard at the end of hymns.
终止式是乐句结尾的两组和弦。完全终止是 V-I，听起来有结束感；半终止结束在 V 上，听起来未完成；变格终止是 IV-I，常在赞美诗结尾听到。
Students often treat a chord as if it were a melody and write the notes one after another rather than together, or they forget to apply the key signature when spelling the chord. When you identify a chord, always check the key first.
学生常把和弦当成旋律来写，把音一个个写出
