1. NOTES AND REST
WEEK 1

3. 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.

to count because they last for
four beats.

14. 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.

17. 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.

18. Here is an example of sixteenth
notes and how to count them.
