    Introduction

    Notes and rest play important roles in music.

    A note is a symbol denoting a musical sound. In English usage,
    a note is also the sound itself. Notes can represent the pitch
    and duration of a sound in musical notation. A note can also
    represent a pitch class.
    The rest is used to mark pauses in written music. It is just as
    important to play rests for the number of beats they are written as
    it is to play a note. There is a corresponding note for every rest.
    Rests can occur on any beat, in the middle of a measure, or at the
    end of a bar.
    Beat, in music, the basic rhythmic unit of a measure, or bar, not to
    be confused with rhythm as such; nor is the beat necessarily
    identical with the underlying pulse of a given piece of music, which
    may extend over more than a single beat.
    What is the difference
    between the note and rest?
    The note tells to play and
    for how long. Rest tell us
    how long to play nothing, or
    have silence in the music.

    MULTIPLE CHOICE
    Which of the following is

    Which of the following is a
    quarter note?

    A. B. C.
    If you feel a strong-weak pattern on the beats of the
    song, the meter is said to be in two-time meter or
    duple meter. Meter measures how many beats there
    are in a set. The set is determined through the strong
    and weak beats (accented or unaccented).
    Accent marks (>) may be written -above or below a
    note head to remind us that these beats should be
    given more emphasis than the other beats. Beats
    maybe written in stick notation using vertical lines.
    To clearly see the meter of the song, vertical lines or
    bar lines are placed to clearly see the groupings of
    beats. Bar lines are vertical lines that group the beats
    into measures
    There is a double bar at the end of a musical piece
    to mark the end. Measures are spaces between bar
    lines that contain divisions of strong beats and weak
    beats.
    The symbol found at the beginning of a musical piece
    tells us the number of beats in each measure, and
    the note that receives one beat is called the time
    signature.
    This upper number tells us that there are
    two beats in each measure.

    This lower number tells us that the quarter


    note gets one beat.
    that's a wrap.
    And

    WELL DONE!
