LESSON 1
 OBJECTIVES

● Identify the different kinds of notes and rests;

and
● learn to count the value of notes and rests.

that we see on a music sheet. A note tells
us how high or low, and how long a
sound should be.

 The note with the biggest value is called whole note. It
has a duration of four counts. The note with the next
biggest value is the half note. It has a duration of two
counts. Next is the quarter note, which has a duration of
one count, followed by the eighth note which has a
duration of a half count, and the sixteenth note, which
has a duration of a quarter count.
The rest is the opposite of the note. It
represents the duration of a pause or
stop. A rest has no sound.
