Brilliant. So clear and concise, short and snappy without any needless chatter. Every part of this instructional video moves you forward in your knowledge. Thankyou for putting this together. I now understand how these repeats work.
Oh! Dear Mikayla, You are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All these time I was not aware of these signs and learned a lot from you. Thanks hope to learn more from you.
I've been looing for this information for a while now. Once I learned that it is called Musical Navigation, I found your video. I got exactly what I wanted/needed. Thanks.
This video is so good. Thank you! It's short, concise and straight to the point. Exactly what I was looking for as I've been struggling to understand these repeats and coda symbols. You've made it so much easier to understand when actually show examples of how they're used. 🙏
Thank you, It is so much easier to understand when you actually demonstrate the concepts, as opposed to trying to understand it from a book or even an lecture.
Excellent! weil explained. Even with musical instruction I didn't remember the different sings. Thanks teacher Mikayla! I really appreaciated also that you included the scores alongside the playing!
Awesome. Thx. I use Nashville number system but many charts use these, most correctly, a few not😊 Thx for clarifying them, been 35 yrs since I read standard notation
Just what I was looking for! I'm self taught and play pretty well but my lack of formal training leaves me confused about the repeats. Great explanations, thank you for this Mikayla.
Thank you for the explanation! Very easy to understand. I have a question, how to notate that a piece is supposed to repeat forever? Some video game music is meant to loop indefinitely, I was wondering how i would notate that.
There is also a “repeat the previous measure” symbol, and I think that “the sign” (or “Il Segno”) is supposed to be a combination of the “repeat the previous measure” symbol and the letter “S” (which probably stands for “Segno”).
Have you ever experienced a D.S. or D.C. without any further instructions like al coda or al fine? And do you write "Fine" in the notation ONLY if its not the last bar or are supposed to always indicate the end with a double bar line AND "Fine"? And finally is it "allowed" to use repeat signs within repeat signs or is this when you would use D.S.?
1- yes occasionally you can see DS or DC without fine or coda, and it would just mean go back to the sign/beginning and then play to the end. If the instruction is DS al Fine, there must be a fine written somewhere. If the “fine” is the last bar, they can either just write DS (no al fine), or write DS al fine, and then put fine over the last bar. Ideally, the double bar line should always indicate the last bar in the piece to be played (whether that is at the end of the page or not). 2- repeat signs within repeat signs are not really possible. This is when you would use a DS/DC, or creative use of different endings. A composer may also just rewrite the same material later on in the piece, if trying to indicate a repeat would become more complicated. hope that helps!
Hi! Great explanation, it really helped me reading notes which I use to play the guitar. But I found one more thing in my guitar tabs - a coda symbol with words "to coda" at the beginning of it. What does it mean?
When you go back to the beginning and there are already repeats in a section, do you follow the repeats again. For example, let's say you have two verses and then a chorus. After the chorus, you want to go back and play two more verses and the chorus again. If I jump to the beginning after the first chorus, will I follow the repeat signs or ignore them because I am now following the Da Capo marking? Otherwise, I would have to write out another verse which seems redundant.
I use musescore to transcribe music and I have a piece that uses first and seconds endings throughout. I want to use a D.C to go back to the beginning and play the entire thing again, but on the second playthrough it skips all of the first endings and goes straight to the second endings. Is there a way to fix this?
Hey, I'm sorry but the DC. al coda doesn't work on Soundslice ( a website where you can create sheet music) , the coda doesn't go straight to the matching coda , it plays it through to the end.... or do I need to place it at a specific bar?
Hi Mikayla, I have a song. Repeating first row twice. This is ok for me. and 4 rows more. Each row just play 1 time, and repeating first row, then second row and so on.... How to code and where? Can you help me. Just tell me where to code. Thank you.
I recently downloaded a JM Jarre sheet..and there are for example TWO D.S. signs at the beginning of a piece (Oxygene)...the sheet has a very complicated repeating scheme, even with your help here it's very hard to decipher it, lol. Why did they put in 2 D.S. signs together, I just don't get it...I'll be forced to import the wav file into Cubase, to see what's going on. But thanks for the basics here, great work and demo!
Great video very helpful ! please a question if there are two repeat symbols //: to :// within the score. then at the very end of the complete music there is the repeat symbol :// do I repeat the full song and play the piece between twice again before continuing to the end ? it is in a grade book I have. Thank you EXAMPLE: 4/4 A B D G7 //: a b cm d:// G f#m D B / Cm F7 G A7 :// Thank you xx
The bit of info I hoped to find here is, how do you indicate that there's a detail that only gets repeated once? For example, if I'm notating a guitar breakdown that happens twice I'll use ||: :||, but what if the first time I'm also notating the last note in the voice line, and the singer's only snging that first time? That loose syllable won't be sung again on the second playthrough of the repeated section.

Glad it helped!
Thank you for making sense of this! I should have looked for this video a long time ago. LOL
Thank you for the explanation! Very easy to understand. I have a question, how to notate that a piece is supposed to repeat forever? Some video game music is meant to loop indefinitely, I was wondering how i would notate that.
You could just write a note at the beginning or the end of the piece to repeat indefinitely.
Very nice explanation and great editing
Thanks! Glad it helped!
There is also a “repeat the previous measure” symbol, and I think that “the sign” (or “Il Segno”) is supposed to be a combination of the “repeat the previous measure” symbol and the letter “S” (which probably stands for “Segno”).
Awesome tutorial and explanation!
Brilliant explanation thanks for posting
This was very helpful, thank you!

My teacher wccually use this video and i cant believe i found it because it was a actually pretty good video while my classmates yell in the classroom
Fantastic explanation

Excellent presentation. What program do you use to replay the music notation?
I used a combination of Notability on my iPad (for annotations), and Final Cut Pro for animations.
Hey, I'm sorry but the DC. al coda doesn't work on Soundslice ( a website where you can create sheet music) , the coda doesn't go straight to the matching coda , it plays it through to the end.... or do I need to place it at a specific bar?
