1. Quick Reference to Musical Elements (MAD T-SHIRT) | 音乐元素快速参照
The WJEC appraising paper requires you to identify and describe musical elements in detail. A popular mnemonic to remember them is MAD T-SHIRT: Melody, Articulation, Dynamics, Texture, Structure, Harmony, Instrumentation, Rhythm, Tempo, and Time signature / Metre.
WJEC 鉴赏考试要求你详细识别并描述音乐元素。常用的记忆口诀是 MAD T-SHIRT：旋律、发音、力度、织体、结构、和声、乐器法、节奏、速度与拍号（节拍）。
For each element, exam questions may ask you to compare how it is used in different passages or to suggest how it creates a particular mood or effect. You must be able to listen critically and link the musical detail to the expressive character of the extract.
对于每个元素，考题可能要求你比较它在不同乐段中的运用，或阐释它如何营造特定的情绪与效果。你必须能够批判性地聆听，并将音乐细节与选段的表达特征联系起来。
2. Dynamics and Articulation | 力度与发音
Dynamics indicate the volume of the music. Common Italian terms include piano (p, soft), forte (f, loud), mezzo-piano (mp), mezzo-forte (mf), fortissimo (ff), pianissimo (pp), crescendo (gradually getting louder) and diminuendo (gradually getting softer). A sudden change is marked with a subito (sub.) indication, such as subito piano.
力度表示音乐的响度。常见意大利术语有 piano（p，弱）、forte（f，强）、mezzo-piano（mp，中弱）、mezzo-forte（mf，中强）、fortissimo（ff，极强）、pianissimo（pp，极弱）、crescendo（渐强）和 diminuendo（渐弱）。突然的变化用 subito（sub.）标记，如 subito piano（突弱）。
Articulation refers to how notes are played or sung. Staccato means detached and short, legato means smooth and connected, accent means a note is stressed, and sforzando (sfz) is a sudden strong accent. Tenuto indicates holding the full note length; pizzicato on strings means plucked.
发音指音符如何演奏或演唱。断奏（staccato）表示断开、短暂；连奏（legato）表示平滑连接；重音（accent）表示音符被强调；突强（sforzando，sfz）为突如其来的强音。tenuto 表示保持音符的全时值；弦乐的拨奏（pizzicato）意为拨弦。
3. Rhythm, Tempo and Metre | 节奏、速度与节拍
Rhythm is the pattern of long and short sounds and silences (rests). Note values in staff notation include semibreve (4 beats), minim (2 beats), crotchet (1 beat), quaver (1/2 beat), and semiquaver (1/4 beat). Dotted notes add half the original value. Rests have equivalent durations, such as crotchet rest and quaver rest.
节奏是长短声音与休止的组合模式。五线谱中的时值包括全音符（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）。附点音符增加原时值的一半。休止符也有对应时值，如四分休止符和八分休止符。
Tempo is the speed of the beat, described with Italian terms: largo (very slow), adagio (slow), andante (walking pace), moderato (moderate), allegro (fast), vivace (lively), and presto (very fast). Metre refers to how beats are grouped, shown by time signatures like 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/8. Simple time has beats divided into two equal parts (e.g. crotchets); compound time divides beats into three (e.g. 6/8 has two dotted-crotchet beats).
速度是节拍的快慢，用意大利术语描述：largo（广板，很慢）、adagio（慢板）、andante（行板）、moderato（中板）、allegro（快板）、vivace（活泼地）和 presto（急板）。节拍指拍子的分组方式，用拍号表示，如 2/4、3/4、4/4、6/8。单拍子每拍可一分为
