Grade 6 (Music) Module (Week 1)

Objective: Identifies the values of the notes and rests used in a song. (MU6RH-Ia-1)

Notes/ Rest and Beat

Rhythm refers to the flow, the breathing pattern or simply, the

pulse in music. It uses different kinds of notes and rest. Rhythm
makes you tap your feet, clap your hands, nod your head, and
swing your body.

Below are the notes and rests and their equivalent number of beat/s.

Fig. 1

Beat is used as a measure to regulate the duration of individual tone. It also

serves as a guide in combining notes of varies durations.

Example:
Direction: Identify the number of beats in the given measure.

How did it become 6 beats?

6 beats A half note ( ) receives 2 beats while a whole note ( )
receives 4 beats. ( 2 + 4 = 6).

Here’s how it is.

2 beats An eight note ( ) receives ½ beat while a quarter note (

) receives 1 beat. On the example there are two (2) eight
notes which is equivalent to 1 (*½ + *½ = 1) and one (1)
quarter note. ( ½ + ½ + 1 = 2).
| Sir Neil Mallen
Let’s have a look on the musical score below.

What notes are used in the song? __________________________________

How about the rests used? ___________________________________

The musical score above entitled “Inday Kalachuci”, a song native from
Visayas uses different kinds of notes and rests. The notes used were a quarter note, an
eight note, a half note and a whole note. Some rests were also used like a quarter rest,
and an eight rest.
Let’s take a look on the number of beats each measure receives on the
given song.
1st measure 2nd measure

How many beats are there in

the measure?

The song used a 4/4 time signature. Therefore, each measure will have 4
beats in a measure.

1st measure 2nd measure The 1st measure has one quarter rest,
two quarter notes and two eight
notes ( 1 + 1 + 1+ ½ +1/2 = 4)
Same with the 2nd measure which has
1 1 1 ½ ½ 2 2 two half notes ( 2 + 2 = 4)

Here’s another one.
How many beats are there in a measure?

1st 2nd Answer:

Each measure
has 3 beats.

Fig. 2

Explanation:
In figure 2 there are two measures divided by a bar line ( ). The first and
second measure has two quarter notes and two eight notes. ( 1+1+ ½ + ½ = 3)

1 1 ½ ½ 1 1 ½ ½

Count the number of beats in a measure.

2.
Answer:
Each measure
has 4 beats.
Fig. 3

Explanation:
In figure 3 the first measure has three quarter notes and two eight notes
( 1+1+ ½ + ½ + 1 = 4 ). While the second measure, it has one half note, one quarter rest
and two eight notes (2+1+ ½ + ½ = 4).

1st measure 2nd measure

1 1 ½ ½ 1 2 1 ½ ½

This is a bar line.

Grade 6 (Music) Module (Week 2-3)

Objective: Differentiates aurally among 2/4, ¾, 4/4 and 6/8 time signatures. (MU6RH-
Ib-e-2)

Time Signatures

Time Signature are the numbers written at the beginning of the staff. The upper
number tells the number of beats in a measure, while the lower number tells
what kind of note receives one beat.

𝟐 The upper number tells how many beats in a measure

𝟒 The lower number tells what note receives one beat.

In 2/4, ¾, and 4/4 time signature a note that receives one beat is the quarter
note/rest because the equivalent number of beat/s by a quarter note is 1, while in a
6/8-time signature a note that receives one beat is eight note/rest.

𝟑 There are three beats in a measure

𝟒 A quarter note/rest will receive one beat in a measure

There are four beats in a measure

𝟒
A quarter note/rest will receive one beat in a measure
𝟒
There are six beats in a measure
𝟔
An eight note/rest will receive one beat in a measure

 Look at the difference between ¾ , 4/4and 6/8 time signatures as used in a song.
Visit youtube for the audio (https://youtu.be/A-WKQyyPiyI).

Fig. 1
The song “Paru-Parong Bukid” uses a 2/4 time signature. A measure should
have three (3) beats and the note that will receive one beat is a quarter note. Look at
the measures below;

 Fig. 2
The song uses 4/4 time signature. Each measure has 4 beats and a quarter
note/rest receives one beat. Look at the illustration below. Visit the link for the audio
(https://youtu.be/irydqcYOY5c ).

1st 2nd 3rd 4th

1 1 1 1 ½¼¼½¼¼2 1 ½¼¼½¼¼½¼¼ 2 2

Remember
A dot that is placed after the note to indicate a change in the duration of a note.
The dot adds half of the value of the note to itself. For example, a dotted half note
gets 3 beats - value of a half note is 2, half of 2 is 1 so 2 + 1 = 3

 Fig. 3
Dandansoy uses a 6/8 time signature. There are six beats in a measure.
Eight note/rest receives one beat. See the illustration below; Visit the link for the audio;

Grade 6 (Music) Module (Week 4-5)

Objective: Demonstrates the conducting gestures in time signatures of: 2/4, ¾, 4/4 and
6/8. (MURH-1b-e-3)

Conducting Time Signature/s

Conducting indicates the number of beats inherent to each measure. The

conducting gestures depend upon the tempo of the musical arrangement. It
is a hand gesture to lead the singers and instrumentalists into the right track
following the signs and symbols according to the composition.

The illustration below shows different conducting patterns.

𝟐 𝟑 𝟒 𝟔

Grade 6 (Music) Module (Week 6-8)

Objective: Creates rhythmic patterns in time signatures of 2/4, ¾,, 4/4 and 6/8. (MURH-
Ig-h-5)

Rhythmic Patterns

Rhythmic Patterns are the division of beats into patterns of sound by clapping
or tapping the beat or a combination of notes and rests in a measure. The
rhythmic pattern is also indicated by the words and syllable of the words.

Rhythmic patterns can learn by clapping or tapping the steady beat or

the equivalent beat of notes and rests. Let’s take a look at the example.

1 ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ ½ 1

The rhythmic pattern above used 2/4 time signature. It has two beats in
each measure.
Here’s another example. The measure is incomplete. You need to
complete each measure by adding the correct note/rest following the correct
number of beats per measure. Follow the time signature.

1st measure 2nd measure 3rd measure 4th measure

1 ½ 1 1 ½ ½

Using the given time signature (2/4) it is clearly stated that each measure
should have 2 equivalent beats. On the 1st measure since a quarter note receives one
beat we can add another one quarter note or rest to have two beats the same with
3rd measure. On the other hand, on 2nd measure, the given are one eight note which is
equivalent to ½ beat and a quarter note which has 1 beat. We can add one eight
note or rest to complete the total number of beats required.
