MY LOVE FOR YOU was done by Johnny Mathis. I wrote the notes first, then with the lyrics using the Cakewalk software..It is one enjoyable software I learned a few years back.

One of the things you can do with it is to write music scores without using your hand. You use a mouse to write the notes, thus giving your written score a nice printed look..

Anyway, there are two new lessons connected with the 8 measure score which I wrote...

1. the dot. In music, you use the dot to indicate that the value of the note proceeding it is extended to one half of its actual written value..( huh? )

Example: the value of a half note are two beats, right? If you put a dot after the half note, the actual value of the dotted half note are 3 beats...

2. The eighth notes..1/8 notes..These notes were resulted from dividing the quarternotes into halves..In simple math 1/2 of 1/4 = 1/8...

A couple of 1/8 notes joined together have the value of 1 beat...

Thus if you have to write just 1/8 notes inside that 4/4 measure, you will be needing 8 1/8 notes so your music composition is correct..Getting boring?

Anyway, the photo above show the first 8 measures of MY LOVE FOR YOU. ...
