    Notes and Rest Values

    Notes and rests are musical symbols used to indicate when to play or pause. Notes represent pitch and duration, while rests designate pauses. Whole notes last 4 beats, half notes 2 beats, quarter notes 1 beat, and so on with progressively shorter durations for 8th, 16th notes and rests. Tuplet groups condense note values over a duration. Dotted notes increase durations by half. Ties connect notes of the same pitch, while slurs smoothly connect different pitches.

    The passage discusses different types of musical notes and rests, including whole, half, quarter, eighth and sixteenth notes as well as their corresponding rests. It also covers how to count the rhythm of different note values.

    Whole, half, quarter, eighth and sixteenth notes and rests are discussed. Whole notes last 4 beats, half notes last 2 beats, quarter notes last 1 beat, eighth notes last half a beat, and sixteenth notes last a fourth of a beat.

    Whole notes are counted as 4 beats, half notes as 2 beats, quarter notes as 1 beat, eighth notes as saying 'and' between each beat (e.g. one-and-two-and), and sixteenth notes as saying 'e-and-a' between each beat (e.g. one e-and-a).

    NOTES AND REST VALUES

    Notes and rests are musical symbols


    on a staff that designate when to play
    and when to not play. Notes on a staff
    represent what pitch to play and for
    how long. Rests are musical symbols
    used to designate when to pause and
    not play.
    WHOLE NOTES AND
    WHOLE REST

    Whole notes and rests are easy to


    count because they last for four
    beats.
    Here is an example of a whole
    note and the count that it
    receives.
    Here is an example of a whole
    rest and the count that it
    receives.
    HALF NOTES AND HALF
    RESTS:

    Half notes and rests each last for


    two beats.
    Here is an example of half notes and the
    count that they receive.
    Here is an example of half
    notes and rests in context on
    the staff.
    QUARTER NOTES AND
    QUARTER RESTS:

    Quarter notes and rests last for one


    beat.
    Here is an example of Quarter
    notes and the count that they
    receive.
    Here is an example of quarter
    notes and rests in context on
    the staff.
    EIGHT NOTES AND EIGHT
    RESTS:
    Eight notes and rests only last for one half of a
    beat. When you are counting the rhythm of eight
    notes, the usual way is to say the word “and”
    between each beat.

    Like this:

    One-and-two-and-three-and-four-and.
    Here is an example of eighth
    notes and how to count them.
    Here is an example of eighth notes
    and rests in context with other
    notes on the staff.
    SIXTEENTH NOTES AND
    SIXTEENTH RESTS
    Sixteenth notes and rests only last for one fourth of a
    beat. When you are counting the rhythm of sixteenth
    notes, the usual way is to say "e-and-a" between each
    beat. This subdivides each beat by four, and makes it
    easier to count the sixteenth notes and rests evenly.

    Like this

    One e-and-a, Two e-and-a, Three e-and-a, Four e-


    and-a.
    Here is an example of sixteenth
    notes and how to count them.
    TUPLETS
    AND
    DOTTED
    RHYTHMS
    Here is an example of sixteenth
    notes and rests in context with
    other notes on the staff.
    TUPLET
    A tuplet is a group of notes evenly condensed or
    expanded over a specific duration of time. For
    instance: A group of three eighth notes may be
    played within the space of one quarter note. The
    tuplet sign is normally placed above or below
    the group of notes outside the musical staff.
    A tuplet can be any number of notes of any duration, grouped by a
    sign, to indicate that it should be played within a measured amount of
    time as it would normally be indicated by another group of note
    values. The following are tuplet note groupings with their technical
    terms.

    duplet two

    triplet three
    Quadruplet four

    quintuplet five

    sextuplet six

    septuplet seven

    octuplet eight

    nontuplet nine
    A tuplet may be represented with a number in
    three ways. A number within a bracket helps to
    identify tuplet groupings that are not beamed.
    Such notes are anything greater or equal in value
    than a quarter note.
    A slurred tuplet identifies a group of
    notes to be played legato. It is much
    more simple to read than having bracket
    tuplets combined with slurs.
    DOTTED NOTES AND
    RESTS

    A dot that is placed after the note


    to indicate a change in the duration
    of a note. The dot adds half of the
    value of the note to itself.
    Dotted Whole Note
    Dotted Half Note
    Dotted Quarter Note
    Dotted Eighth Note
    Dotted Rests
    TIES AND SLURS
    A tie connects two or more notes
    of the same pitch together with a
    curved line over or under the
    notes. The rhythms are then added
    together. The value of the second
    note, or tied note, is added to the
    value of the first note.
    A slur connects two or more notes of different
    pitches together by a curved line over or under
    the notes. When you hear notes that are
    slurred, there is a connection of sound. No
    break or silence is heard between the pitches.

    The term legato is used to describe how you


    play or sing slurred notes. Literally, it means “to
    unite or bind”. To put it in simpler terms, it
    means a smooth connection from one note to
    the next.
