the staff, the parts of a note, and the basics of notating durations of notes and rests. Make sure you understand the above, and then let's dive into the fun stuff: reading music! The C major scale is the first scale we use when teaching how to read music because it's the one that uses just natural notes (the white keys on a piano). Once you have that locked into your brain cells, the rest will follow naturally. First, we'll show you what it looks like, then we'll show you how to make sense of it, and begin to read music! Here's what it looks like on the staff. See the "C scale" above. If you'll take a look at the first note, the low C, you'll see that it actually goes below the staff lines. When that happens, we simply add a staff line for that note onlythus, the little line through the note head. The lower the note, the more staff lines we add. But we don't need to worry about that now. The C scale is made up of eight notes. These are the equivalent of the white keys on the piano. You may or may not have a piano handy, but at this point, it's important for you to begin to get an idea of not just what music looks like, but of what it sounds like, too. " That may sound intimidating, but chances are, you already know it: it's the fancy way of saying "do, re, mi." By learning to sing the notes that you see, you'll begin to develop the skill of sight readinga skill that can take a lifetime to perfect, but will be useful right from the beginning. Let's take a look at that C scale again, with the solfege scale added. See the "C Scale Solfege 11" above. Chances are, you know the Rogers and Hammerstein song "Do-Re-Mi" from The Sound of Music. If you can sing the "do re mi" scale, do that now while you look at the notes. If you need a refresher course, you can hear the song on YouTube. Here's a slightly more advanced version, walking up and down the C scale using the solfege notes. See the "C Scale Solfege 1" above. Practice singing Solfegepart II a few times, until it becomes familiar. The first couple times, read very slowly so that you can look at each note as you sing it. The next couple times, substitute the "do re mi" for C, D, E. The goal is to sing the actual notes. Remember our note values from before: the high C at the end of the first line, and the low C at the end of the second line are half notes, while the rest of the notes are quarter notes. If you imagine yourself walking, again, there is a note for each step. The half notes take two steps.

Summary: We now have the basics down: Learn the C scale. Learn a little sight singingor "solfege. Congratulations, you're now reading music!

The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is the mean annual growth rate of an investment over a defined period of time. The defined period of time is typically more than one year. It can either be calculated with a mathematical formula or found using spreadsheet software, such as Microsoft Excel. You can also find CAGR calculators on the internet. The mean is the mathematical average of two or more numbers. The formula for CAGR calculates the average annual growth of an investment. For example, suppose you invested $10,000 in stocks in 2012, and the value grew to 14,000 in 2013, to $15,000 in 2014, and to $19,500 in 2015. The formula for the CAGR would calculate the average amount by which the stock's value grew each year. The CAGR represents how much an investment would have grown each year as if it had grown at a steady rate. However, investments don't grow at a steady rate. Rather, they experience peaks and valleys. The CAGR averages all of these changes in value. The growth rate is the amount by which an investment increased in value over a specific period of time. In this case, it refers to how much an investment has grown in a year. Calculations of historical growth rate are often used for estimating future growth. The CAGR does not measure what happened in one year. Rather, it refers to the average annual change in an investment over a period of several years. The term compound refers to the way that compounded interest investments grow exponentially. Investments generate earnings. These earnings are then reinvested and generate earnings of their own. As this process continues over time, investments can continue to grow, even if you don't add any money to them. In other words, compound interest differs from simple interest in that interest is earned both on the original investment and interest earned, rather than simply on the original investment.
