Quarter 1 – Module 1:
Identify the values of the notes/rests
used in a particular song (MU6RH-Ia-1)
 
 

 
 

IDENTIFY THE VALUES OF THE NOTES/RESTS USED IN A

PARTICULAR SONG

LET US KNOW

Study the pictures above, what do you see? When we hear

a marching band playing, a Zumba class dancing, we usually
respond to the beats of the music we heard. The sounds we heard
give music its rhythm. Rhythm is the regular flow of music in time. It
is expressed through notes and rest in a musical piece. This lesson
will provide a refresher on the different kinds of notes and rest and
their durations in music. You will be guided as to how they must be
observed in a musical composition.

LET US REVIEW

List at least five songs that you remember from your grade 5
music lessons.

LET US STUDY

Kinds of Notes and Their Time Value

Notes are musical Symbols that represent sound. In the table
below, study the different kinds of notes and their duration.

Kinds of Rest and Their Time Value

Just like notes, there are also different kinds of rest each with
a corresponding time value. Whenever you see a rest symbol in a
musical composition, it signals you to pause or take a quick breath
in music. Below are the kinds of rest and their corresponding value.

3
 

The time value of a note can also change because of the

use of dots. A dot (.), when placed after a note or rest, increases
the time value or duration of the note or rest by half of its original
value.

Example:

Study the song “Magtanim ay Masaya” Identify the different

kinds of notes and rest used in the composition and write their
corresponding time value.

4
 

LET US PRACTICE

Identify the name of the given notes and rest. Write your answer
on the space next to each number.

LET US REMEMBER

 Notes are musical Symbols that represent sound.

 Just like notes, there are also different kinds of rest each with
a corresponding time value.
 Each symbol varies from its duration.
 Rhythm is composed of a repeated pattern.

Differentiates aurally among 2/4, 3/4,
4/4, and 6/8 time signatures
(MU6RH-Ib-e-2)
 
 

 
 

DIFFERENTIATES AURALLY AMONG 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, AND

6/8 TIME SIGNATURES

LET US KNOW

Movements usually follow a rhythm. Actions like running,

jogging, walking have rhythm. Rhythm can also be felt in the
movements of animals, the ticking of a clock and movements of
cars. Rhythm may be fast or slow.

In music, rhythm also signifies movement. Movements in

music may be counted by twos, threes, and fours. These are
arranged in meters. In this lesson, you will learn more about meter.

LET US REVIEW

Illustrate the following.

2
 

LET US STUDY

Rhythm in music can be divided into groups which are called

meters. The word meter comes from the Greek word metron,
which means “measure” If the notes are group by twos, threes or
fours; each grouping of the notes is called a measure.
You learned in your previous grade that Time signature is
written at the beginning of the measure to indicate the grouping
of notes. A Time Signature looks like a fraction – having two
numbers with one on top of the other but without the fraction line
or slash separating the two numbers. See the illustration that
follows.
Time Signature

This number tells how many beats are in

each measure. (In this case there are two
beats per measure)

This number tells what kind of note

receives one beat. (In this case, a quarter
note gets one beat)

Meter in music can be divided by twos, which is called the

duple meter, by threes known as triple meter and by fours, which is
called a quadruple meter. An accent (>) is placed on top of a
note to signify a strong beat.

3
 

A rhythmic pattern is the combination of notes and rest with

long and short durations or different time values. These
combinations of notes and rest are formed into measures which
are divided by bar lines. A bar line is a line that divides a group of
notes into measures.

4
 

LET S PRACTICE

Identify the time signature used in each number. Write your

answer on the blank.

LET US REMEMBER

 Rhythm in music can be divided into groups which are called

meters.
 If the notes are grouped by twos, threes or fours, each
grouping of the notes is called a measure.
 Top number tells how many beats are in each measure while
the number below tells what kind of note receives one beat.
 Meter in music can be divided by twos, which is called the
duple meter, by threes known as triple meter and by fours,
which is called a quadruple meter.
 An accent (>) is placed on top of a note to signify a strong
beat.
 A rhythmic pattern is the combination of notes and rest with
long and short durations or different time values.

LET US APPRECIATE

Try to feel the beat and identify the meter of each song.
Write DM on the line for duple meter, TM for triple meter and QM
for quadruple meter.

1. “Lupang Hinirang”
2. “Paruparong Bukid”
3. “Happy Birthday”
4. “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”

DEMONSTRATE THE CONDUCTING GESTURES IN TIME

SIGNATURE OF
2/4, 3/4, 4/4, AND 6/8

LET US KNOW

When we sing the national anthem during flag ceremony, do

you notice the conductor? What do you think is the importance of
a conductor when a choir or orchestra performs? What is the
meaning of their gestures?

Your hands are vital tools for communicating. Through hand

gesture, you can convey ideas or feelings even without speaking.
Conductors unify the performers, set the tempo, and shape the
sound ensemble. They also control the interpretations and pacing
of the music.

In this lesson, you will learn more about time signature and
conducting pattern.

Conducting Gestures in the Time Signatures of:

2/4, 3/4, 4/4, and 6/8

A conducting pattern is a pattern in which your dominant

hand follows in order to establish beats and tempo to the choir. A
hand gesture will be followed by the singers and musicians into
the right path following the signs and symbols according to the
composition.

The illustration below shows different conducting patterns.

LET US REMEMBER

 The conductor should have mastery of conducting

techniques.

 Observe the proper posture and gesture of the body,

hands and arms while conducting simple and
compound time signature.

 While conducting, the palm with a flexible wrist should

stay down.

 Listen to the preparatory beat. It is one beat before the

first note or a beat of a musical composition.

 The hand and arm gesture s decrease in size when the

music is in decrescendo dynamics (gradually becoming
soft)

 The hand gestures increase in size when the music is in

crescendo dynamics (gradually becoming loud)

 One of the basic gestures in ending a piece is a small

counterclockwise elliptical loop from the wrist of both or
each hand.

LET US KNOW

What is Rhythmic pattern and why is it important?

Creating rhythm and song is fun. It can give you a sense of

accomplishment. To create great harmonies and melodies, you
need to understand how rhythm works and how it is used in your
tracks.

In this lesson, you will learn how to create rhythmic patterns

and use them in making your own simple song. You will know how
rhythms are subdivided in music and how time signatures work.

LET US STUDY
Rhythmic Pattern in Time Signature of
2/4, 3/4, 4/4, and 6/8

Rhythmic patterns are grouping of long and short sounds in a

given meter. Mastery of beat, meter, measure and bar lines are
important in constructing and performing rhythmic patterns.

The regular occurring pulse that you hear and feel in a

composition is called beat. It is the heartbeat of music. Meter, on
the other hand, is the grouping of notes and rests as units. It may
have two, three, or four beats placed in a measure. A measure is
the space between two bar lines.

Below are the kinds of meter that group notes and rests to
form rhythmic pattern.

 Duple Meter has two beats in a measure

2 2 1 1 ½½½½ 2
 Triple Meter has three beats in a measure

2 1 2 1 1 1 1 ½½ 2 ½½ 1 1
 Quadruple Meter has four beats in a measure
