Notes and Rest are musical symbols on a staff that designate when to play and when not to
play. Notes and rests work in the same lengths with the same names, so there is a whole note and
a whole rest and they both are in the same duration.
 Notes – are the words of the musical language. They tell us what note to play and for how
long.

 Rests - tell us how long to play nothing or have a silence in music.

There are four types of notes and rests; whole, half, quarter and eighth.
Look at the table of some of the notes and rests. Some of them are used in the song.
