FIRST QUARTER
RHYTHM
LESSON 1: NOTES AND REST
Study the pictures above, what do you see? When we hear a marching band
playing, a Zumba class dancing, we usually respond to the beats of the music we
heard. The sounds we heard give music its rhythm. Rhythm is the regular flow of
music in time. It is expressed through notes and rest in a musical piece.
This lesson will provide a refresher on the different kinds of notes and rest and
their durations in music. You will be guided as to how they must be observed in a
musical composition.

LET’S RECALL
Notes are symbols that represent sound.
Rest are symbols that represent silence.
LET’S UNDERSTAND
KINDS OF NOTES AND THEIR TIME VALUE
Notes are musical Symbols that represent sound. In the table below, study
the different kinds of notes and their duration.
Name Symbol Time Value
whole note 4 beats
half note 2 beats
quarter note 1 beat
eighth note ½ beat
sixteenth note ¼ beat
KINDS OF REST AND THEIR TIME VALUE
Just like notes, there are also different kinds of rest each with a corresponding
time value. Whenever you see a rest symbol in a musical composition, it signals you
to pause or take a quick breath in music. Below are the kinds of rest and their
corresponding value.
Name Symbol Time Value
whole rest 4 beats of silence
half rest 2 beats of silence
quarter rest 1 beat of silence
eighth rest ½ beat of silence
sixteenth rest ¼ beat of silence
The time value of a note can also change because of the use of dots.
A dot (.), when placed after a note or rest, increases the time value or duration of the
note or rest by half of its original value.
Example:
+ 1 ½ beats
dotted quarter note 1 ½
3 beats
+
dotted half note 2 1
+ 1 ½ beats of silence
dotted quarter rest 1 ½
+
3 beats of silence
2 1
dotted half rest
