The document discusses different musical note values and rhythmic concepts. It explains: - The durations of whole, half, quarter, eighth, and sixteenth notes and their corresponding rest values. - That music involves mathematical relationships between note values, such as two eighth notes equaling one quarter note. - The concept of dotted notes, where a dot increases a note's length by half its value. - The use of ties to connect notes of the same pitch and hold them for their combined rhythmic duration.

2. Parts of the note

3. Let's start with some note
names

4. • The semibreve/whole note is played for 4 crotchet beats
• The minim/half note is played for 2 crochet beats
• The crotchet/quarter note is played for 1 crotchet beat
• The quaver/ eighth note is played for 1/2 of a crotchet beat
• the semiquaver/sixteenth note is played for 1/4 of a
crotchet beat
sooooooooooooooo.....

5. Yeah but explain rests
doh??
well...........

6. Rests indicate a period of silence in
music
Meaning, that when a rest is seen, no sound is made for
that duration of time.

7. • The semibreve /whole note rest restsfor 4 crotchet beats
• The minim/half note Rest rests for 2 crochet beats
• The crotchet/quarter note rest rests for 1 crotchet beat
• The quaver/ eighth note rest REsts for 1/2 of a crotchet beat
• The semiquaver/sixteenthnote rest rests for 1/4 of a crotchet
beat
therefore:

8. Music is math

9. Note values tree

10. From the chart above, we can see
that:
• 2 Semiquavers/ sixteenth notes = 1 quaver/ eighth note
• 2 quavers/ eighth notes = 1 crotchet/ quarter note
• 2 crotchets/quarter notes = 1 minim/half note
• 2 minims/half notes = 1 semibreve/whole note
also....
• 16 semiquavers/ sixteenth notes= 1 semibreve/whole note
• 8 quavers/ eighth notes = 1 semibreve/whole note
• 4 crotchets/ quarter notes= 1 semibreve/ whole note
• 2 minims/ half notes = 1 semibreve/whole note

12. Let's try this excercise

13. But how do they sound?
well......

15. Let's try clappingthese
rhythms

21. Note
values

22. Dotted Notes
When a dot is placed after a note, it increases the notes length by half of
its value

23. For e.g
this dotted minim/half note would be played for 3 beats
This is so because it increases by half of its value.
A minim usually lasts for two beats but when a dot is
placed after it, the value would incerease by half.
therefore 2 beats + 1 beats = 3
beats

25. Regular note values vs dotted
notes

28. Ties
A tie is a curved line that connects two notes of the same pitch. A tie means to
hold the note for the combined rhythmic value of the two notes, as if they
were one.

29. Here, a crotchet which is 1 beat and a minim which is two beats are being tied
together and will therefore be played for 3 beats
