A triplet is added at the end, so that the trill also finishes on the principal note. In this later (fictitious) example (Mendelssohn was born in 1809), the trill starts on the principal note. In this first example, the trill starts on the higher note because it is (imaginary) Bach (pre-1800). This means you might have to add a triplet figure at the end.
The trill should end on the principal note.Sometimes a trill is preceded by an acciaccatura – this means you should start the trill on the acciaccatura note.Beam the demisemiquavers (32nd notes) in subdivisions of fours, to make them easier on the eye (see the first example below).For example, a crotchet (quarter note) will need 8 demisemiquavers (32nd notes). The number of notes you need depends on the length of the written note. The trill is most often written out in semiquavers or demisemiquavers (16th or 32nd notes).In earlier music (up to about 1800) the trill usually started on the note above, after 1800 it starts on the note itself. The trill can start on the note itself or the note above.Try to keep to the following basic rules, however: Trills can be very tricky to write out indeed, as the way they are interpreted has always been very subjective and the rules have changed over time. The trill (or “shake”) is a rapid alternation between the note written (called the “principal” note), and the note above.

Note that if there is a small accidental written with the ornament, you’ll need to add that accidental when the ornament is written out in full too. They allow some freedom of interpretation, and they allow the basic harmony of the music to be more visible. Ornament symbols were added to music for several reasons. The added twist for grade six is that you also have to be able to write them out in full, as they would be played. You need to know the same ornaments as you learnt for grade five music theory.
