It

NOTES

Notes on a staff represent what pitch to play and for how long.

There are different kinds of notes.

1. Whole Note - a note having the time value of two half notes or four
quarter notes, represented by a ring with no stem. It is the longest note
now in common use.

2. Half Note - A note is held for 2 counts, which means it lasts for twice as
long as a quarter note. A Half note has a stem and a white note head
(remember the quarter note has a black note head.

3. Quarter Note - is worth one beat. The quarter note is the third note; it
looks like a filled-in half note, with the same stem attached.

4. Eighth Note - is worth ½ of a Quarter note. Eight notes are notated

with an oval, filled in note head and a straight note stem with one flag
note flag.

5. Sixteenth Note - a sixteenth note will receive a time value of one-

3 with an oval, filled-in note head. They
fourth. Notes that are notated
have a straight stem and two flags.
RESTS

Rests are musical symbols used to designate when to pause and not play.

There are different kinds of rests in a musical composition.

1. Whole Rests - a whole rest lasts for four beats, it means, it would be
the equivalent of 4 beats of silence. It is rectangular shaped, and some
people love to refer to it as an upside-down hat.

2. Half Rest - a half rest gets 2 beats and is drawn as a filled-in rectangle
sitting on top of the middle line of the musical staff. It looks like a hat.

3. Quarter Rest - A quarter rest is equal in time value to a quarter note.

It's a period of silence that lasts for one beat in 4/4 time.

4. Eighth Rest – is one half of a beat of silence. It consists of one slanted

line with a flag attached at the top. It looks like number 7.

5. Sixteenth Rest - one quarter or one fourth of a beat of silence. It looks

similar to an eighth rest, but it has two flags instead of one. It is the
same duration as a sixteenth note, but it represents silence.
 Below is a table which displays whole, half, quarter, eighth, and sixteenth
notes and rests, along with how long each one lasts, measured in beats.
