Notice that the first note is connected to the second note with half the sixteenth note symbol and half the eighth note symbol:. This means that the first note must be played as a sixteenth note and the second as an eighth note. The idea is the same for the last note, which should be played as a sixteenth note:. Great, so this is how we represent the mixed blocks with different figures.
Now that we know the note values, the length of each one and the representations for different combinations of these notes, it is time to learn what a bar is. Toggle navigation. How to read the Note Values? See them below: The note values Nice, but what is the time length of each one of these figures in practice? Please note below: Note: notice that the figures faster than the quarter note appear linked, forming blocks that correspond to one quarter note.
For example, two eighth notes, one next to the other, are linked as follows: In this diagram, it is easy to see how the figures fit inside each other. Tips to practice with a metronome So it is important to train the following with a metronome : Set a slow tempo, for example, 30 bpm a beat lasts two seconds in this case. Observe: Notice that the two sixteenth notes are connected to an eighth note forming a block of 3 notes that is equivalent to a quarter note.
In this case, the representation would look like this: Notice that the first note is connected to the second note with half the sixteenth note symbol and half the eighth note symbol: This means that the first note must be played as a sixteenth note and the second as an eighth note.
They are the head , the stem and the flag :. Need more help?

Think of it as your heart beat. All music is based on beat, and the different notes and rests symbolize how many beats, or part of a beat, they last. However- since notes and rests are fractions, t he number of beats that a note value or rest lasts can actually change, depending on what note the beat itself represents!
What will never change are the relationships between the notes and rests themselves and their names. But, as you start learning about music theory and playing the piano , it is usually enough to first of all understand that one beat is very often represented by a quarter note. Just remember that this can change! Any note can be worth one beat. So, assuming that one quarter note equals one beat, the basic notes and rests would have the following number of beats:.
Notes can be combined in many ways. Notes and rests are combined in patterns. These patterns are called rhythm. Seven notes of music and two systems to name them. For each music note value, there is a music rest of equivalent duration.
Skip to content. The double whole note breve divides into 2 whole notes semibreves following the pattern of the other notes in the Rhythm Tree. The Double Whole note Breve is therefore worth 8 quarter notes crotchets. The Double Whole note Breve fell out of use as smaller value notes were invented by composers.
It can be notated as an open rectangle or a whole note with bars either side. Click here to read more about the double whole note breve and how our modern system of music notation developed. Make sure you have a few spare moments though as once you start reading the history of the music note it's difficult to stop! The Whole note is the longest music note in general use today.
It is an open note with no stem. I always say to my students it looks like a hole…so it is easy to remember! The duration of the whole note is 4 quarter notes. The Half note duration is 2 quarter notes.
It differs from the whole note in that it has a stem, although it is still open. The quarter note has become the de facto standard 1 beat music note. It is also roughly in the middle of the most used notes in the Rhythm Tree , making the quarter note the ideal candidate for ensuring whole notes don't become too long to count, and shorter, popular notes such as eighth and sixteenth notes aren't impossible to count in terms of them being fractions of a note.
The quarter note changes from the half note as it is filled in, as opposed to empty.
