T OR THEFIFE
The firft thing lo be learned on this Inftrument, is the
blowing or filling it fufficiently to found the Notes clear
and (filtinct, obftrve therefore your Lips muft be clofe ex,
_cept juft in the middle to give paffage to the Wind, and
likewife contracted fmooth and even. Then reftingthe Fife
Juft under the opening of the Lips, place the mouth hole of
the Fife oppofite this opening and blow aflant into the hole,
turning the Fife outward or inward till you can make it found.
Its not a great quantity of Wind that is wanted to make the
Fife found, but the manner of difpofing of it, letting it.
come out quick and in as fmall a quantity as is neceffary
according to the height of the Notes you want to play, the
lower the Notes are the more gently you muft blow,$c the
higher they are the ftronger.When you can make the Fife fpeak put down the three 1 .
Fingers of your left hand upon the three holes neareft
the mouth hole, and the three firft Fingers of your right
hand upon the other three holes,placing your Thumbs on
the oppofite fide between each of the two firft Fingerstaking care to ftop the holts firm and clofe. then blowgently and you found the Note D. To found E. take off
the third Finger of your right hand and fo on for the
other Notes as you'll find in the following Scale.

The fix dots underneath the Note D. reprefent the fix
holes of the Fife ftop'd, where there are no dots the Fin-
i jjers are to be taken off thofe holes.
All the Notes above Care call'd in Alt, to diftinguifh
them from thofe below, of which they are only a repetition,
and thofe above C.in Alt are call'd double D. double E.dou-
_ble F. and double G.in Alt.
When you can found the Notes of the firft Octave try the
next, to perform which you muft draw your Lips tighter and
let the Wind come finer and ftronger. when you have learnd
that;try at the remainder ftill forcing the wind out ftronger,
and then practice the whole from bottom to top and top to
bottom untill you have learn'd every "Note perfect and can
play all the Notes in the Gamut without ftopping. dont
attempt to play any fort of tune untill you have perfectly
learn'd the Gamut and do thoroughly underftand the charac-
_ ters thereunto belonging.
An Octave is eight Notes either afcending or defcending
as from D. to D. from E. to E . from F.to F. and fo on, as you
will fee in the following Example.
^^rrUJJ'rrm^ mi
The tails of Notes may be turned upward or downward for
the conveniency of tying together, thofe above the middle
line being turnd down and thofe below turnd up, only that
they may be kept as much within the middle of the lines as
poffible. The different characters made ufe of in Muficwith their names are as follows . A Cliff Jl A Sharp #.A Flat b . A Natural t . A Slur ^A Shake h*J A Paufe T»A Repeat X. A Direct w . A Bar, I I I Adouble Bar II

Explanation of the. ahove Characters
res
or
A Cliff is always placd at the beginning of the Stave withthe wi deft part of it aero is the 2. of the five lines, &c knownby the name of the Treble or G. Cliff becaufe the line onwhich it ftands is calld G. which no other does but itfelf
.
A Sharp when placed on any line or fpace at the beginningof the five lines, fhews that all the Notes upon that line orfpace muft be play'd half a tone fharper or higher than it
is in the Natural Scale and likewife, whenever you, fee it pla-ced before one or more Notes in any other part of a Move--ment,it fignifies that all the Notes that comes on thatline or fpace muft liXewife be play'd half a tone fharperuntill it is contradicted by a Natural tj .
4. /A Flat, when placd on any line or fpace at tht beginning
of the five lines , fhens that all the Notes upon them lines
or fpaces muft be playd half a tone lover than they natu~
-rally are, and likemife when it is plac'd before one or moreNotes in any other part of a movement it fhews that all the
Notes npon that line or fpace on -*hich it is plac'd are like
_wife to be played half a tone flater or lower than they are
in the natural Scale untill it is contradicted by a Natural .
The meaning of a Natural is, when any one or more Notes
have been made Sharp or Flat hy the two Characters above
mentiond it reduces thofe Notes to their natural Tone . .
A Slur is part of a circle, when placd over the heads of
any number of Notes ,it fhews that all them Notes are to
be playd without tongueinjJ and with one brtath .
A Shake, is a character that when plac'd over a Note ihews
that, that Note muft be fhaked,in order to perform this;you
muft fhake the next Note above, which is done by moving
that Finder off and on as quick as you can fhake it but be
fure to let the real Note be heard at laft .
A Paufe is the next Character , which fignifies at fuch a
mark all the Performers in a Concert muft ftop, letting the
Tone die away gradually v*ith a total ceffation thorough the
whole Band, and it is often placed over a Note at the end of
amovement fignifying that the tune or movement ends there .
A Repeat fignifies that fuch a part of a Sonfi or Leffon
muft be playd twice over from the place whereon it is fet.
A Direct is placed at the end of a ftave to fhew the place
of the-firft Note in the next ftave.
A diminutive Note or grace marked thus J J f is fet
before a real Note'and is only meant to prepare that real
Note and not reckoned into the time.
A finale Bar is placed acrofs the five lines and ferves
to divide and regulate the time.
Minims
A double Bar is alfo plated acrofs the five lines this fhfcws
and divides the firft part of any movement from the ffctond
and if there are t*o Hots on each fide, it fhews that fuch part
or parts are to he played twice over before you go to the 2 (.
and HTcewife the fecond part to be played twice over before
you begin again at the firft , hut when you fee two dots but on
one ii((e of the double Bar you muft play that part on which
fide they ftand,but once over. When you fee the word DaCapo placed at the latter end of a movement , it fliers that
you begin aijain ami end •with the firft part, over the laft
Note of which you generally find a Paufe^Example of the Time

Explanation of the Time
Common Time confifts of an equal number of Minims Crot-
chets or Quavers in a Bar,howmany each Bar contains may
be known at the firft fight by looking how it is marVd at the
beginning of t-vt-rv frefh movement, if it is markd *ith a
character"fomething refembling a C. which character you'll
find defcribed at the beginning of thefe Inftructions there
are 2 Minims or 4 Crotchets, I don't mean that the Bars thro'
the whole movement confifts of them very identical Motesonly, but equal to them in point of time . The next fort of
Common Time is markd thus ?. which fhews there are twoCrotchets or four Ouavt rs in a Bar.
Triple Time confifts of either 3 Minims 3 Crotchets or 3Quavers in a Bar, and is to be known'by theft as follows 3
.
fignifies 3 Minims ^ three Crotchets 3 three Quavers •? nineQuavers ^ fix Quavers ^
2 twelve Quavers in a Bar.In order to keep regular Time in the performance of Mu
_fic,you muft acruftom your felt to keep a motion with
your Toe. when Mufic confifts of an even number of Crot-^chets or Quavers in a Bar, your Toe muft fio down with the
Is. Note in the Bar and rife at the half or middle, as in the
following Kxamples where the letter (d)fhews where it muft
jjy down and the letter (ii) where it muft rile .
