Lesson transcript

Tied Note Exercises in the Treble Clef

Let's look at some tied note exercises, specifically for your right hand.

In this example, there are four different places where we have tied notes:

  1. First Tied Note:

    • A half note held for three counts (half note + quarter note).
  2. Second Tied Note:

    • Two quarter notes tied together, held for two counts.
  3. Third Tied Note:

    • A half note tied with a quarter note, held for three counts.
  4. Fourth Tied Note:

    • Two quarter notes tied, held for two counts.

How It Sounds

Let's have a look at how it sounds:

  • Count: 1, 2, 3, 4.
  • Count: 1, 2, 3, four.
  • Count: 1, 2, 3, Four.
  • Count: 1, 2, 3, 4.
  • Count: 1, 2, 3, FOUR.
