Write your responses below:

1. There needs to be a key signature showing that it is in B Major

2. There are 5 sharps in B Major, and no flats, as well as no natural

accidentals. The first measure has only 4 sharps and needs to be
corrected as follows: F#, C#, G#, D#, and A#.

3. The 3rd measure needs to be corrected as follows: B, A#,G#F#,E,

D#,C#,B. In that measure B does not need a natural sign, and the A
needs to be raised from A natural to A#.
4. In the 1st measure thereǯs a quarter before the time signature, which
is a B Natural. That note needs to be after the time signature and on the
on the appropriate ledger line with the stem pointing down.

5. In measure one the note stems need to be on the opposite side of the
note head and in the down direction to keep it consistent with the other
notes as the majority of the notes are dictated that way.

6. The 3rd measure I would do the same thing. The note stems need to be
in the up direction as the majority of the notes stems are pointing up
and on the opposite side of the note head.

7. The time signature states that it is in ¾, but the 8 quarter notes shows
that that the measure needs to be changed to two measures of 4/4 or it
can be broken up into two measures of ¾, and 1 measure of 2/4.

8. The Third measure would be the same as the 1st measure; either
brake the scale into two measures of 4/4, or into two measures of ¾
and 1 measure of 2/4 to make the notation accurate.

9. I also see a whole note rest in the 2nd measure, which indicates 4/4
time, either the measure needs to indicate 4/4 time by the use of a time
signature or the measure needs show a dotted half rest which will keep
it in ¾.

10. The repeat sign in the first measure would be fine I think if the end
of the third measure had a repeat sign as well, but since the end of the
third measure shows no repeat sign, or a bar line I would think it is safe
to say that a repeat sign is not needed.
