Let's do a recap of our rhythm values.

Whole Note

  • Demonstration: 1, 2, 3, 4.
• A whole note rest is silence for four counts.

Half Note

• Next, we've learned about the half note, which lasts for two counts.
  • It would sound like: 1, 2, 1, 2.
• The half note rest depicts silence for two counts.

Quarter Note

• Then, we learned about the quarter note, which lasts for one count.
  • It would sound like: 1, 1, 1, 1.
• A quarter rest would be one count of silence.

Eighth Notes

• Finally, we learned about eighth notes, which last for half of a count.
  • It would sound something like: 1 and 1 and 1 and 1.
• An eighth note rest also lasts for half of a count.

Bringing It All Together

Let's bring all of this together in the next piece, Beat the Mersey.
