Let’s Recall

Match the names of the notes and rests in column A with its corresponding symbols in column B, using line to connect.

A B

1. whole note a.

2. quarter note b.

3. half note c.

4. eighth rest d.

5. quarter rest e.

Let’s Understand

Kinds of notes and their time value

Musical notes are symbols that represent sound. Study the different kinds of notes and their time values in the table below.

Name	Symbol	Time Value
whole note		4 beats
half note		2 beats
quarter note		1 beats
eighth note		1/2 beats
sixteenth note		1/4 beats

Kinds of rest and their time value

A rest is a symbol that is used to represent silence. Just like notes, there are also different kinds of rest. Each rest has its corresponding time value.

Study the table below.

Name	Symbol	Time Value
whole rest		4 beats of silence
half rest		2 beats of silence
quarter rest		1 beats of silence
eighth rest		1/2 beats of silence
sixteenth rest		1/4 beats of silence

In music, when a dot (.) is placed after a note or a rest, it indicates an increase of the time value by one half of its original value.

dotted quarter note	+ . 1 ½	1 1/2 beats
dotted half note	+ . 2 1	3 beats
. dotted quarter rest	+ . 1 ½	1 1/2 beats of silence
. dotted half rest	+ . 2 1	3 beats of silence

Let’s Apply

Write the total number of beats in the following sets of notes and rests.

1. + + + =

2. + + =

3. + + + =

4. + + =

5. + + =

Let’s Analyze

Rhythm is the regular recurrence of long and short sounds. It is the flow and movement in music. You usually respond to it by nodding your head, snapping your fingers, or stomping your feet.

Musical notes represent sounds while rests represent silence. In music, when a dot (.) is placed after a note or a rest, it indicates an increase of the time value by one half of its original value.

Just as a child needs to learn the alphabet in order to read and write words, one must also have mastery of the musical notes and rests and their time values to be able to read or write music.

The long and short sounds produced by these notations create organized musical patterns that result to producing music.

Let’s Evaluate

Below is a musical composition. Study and identify each note and rest and give its corresponding time value. Do this on a separate sheet of paper.

Let’s Create

Draw notes and rests based on the given time value.

Example: 3 beats using quarter notes and eighth rests =

1. 3 beats using a half note and quarter rest =

2. 4 beats using sixteenth notes and eighth rests =

3. 3 beats using sixteenth notes =

4. 4 beats using eighth notes and eighth rests =

5. 2 beats using a quarter rest and eighth note =
