​Covered topics:

​Rests

• A musical notation that signifies an absence of sound in a particular duration

• ​Different rest symbols corresponds with a particular note value for length of rest (indicating how long the silence should last)

• ​Semibreve, Crotchet, Minim, Quaver and Semiquaver rests

​Ties

• A curved line connecting the heads of 2 notes of the SAME pitch.

• They are to be played as a single note with a duration equal to the sum of the individual notes' values connected by the tie.

Dots

• A dot is added behind a note to indicate the change of duration of a note.

• ​​Dots add half the value of the note to itself

• ​Example：

  A dotted crotchet carries the sum of value of 1.5 beats.

​Double Dots?

• ​A double-dotted note is a note with two small dots written after it.

• ​There will be two dots behind the note, where the first dot is what you've learned just now, the second note take HALF the value of the first dot.

​Example:

​(Double dotted semibreve has in total 7 beats, with the first dot carrying 2 beats and 2nd dot carrying 1 beat of value.)

​Triplets

• ​A triplet is a three-note pattern that fills the duration of a initially two-note pattern / typical two-note pattern.

• ​Each note in the triplet has equal rhythmic value.

• ​As an example, let us see the picture below~~

• A triplet allows us to play three notes in the time of two notes. Every type of music note (like minims, crotchets, quavers etc) can be split up and divided into two equal beats.

​Simple & Compound Time (tik..tok..tik..tok)

​Simple Time

• ​Simple time is the easiest to count, when you can subdivide the notes into two groups and again and again.

• ​Also, a "one-two" pulse is the most natural to a listener & performer

Compound Time

• In compound time, the rhythm can be broken into three part rhythms.

• ​You can also determine the compound time when you see multiples of 3 (Eg 6, 9, 12) but not 3 itself.

• ​Since each beat is divided into 3 parts, a "one-two-three" pulse is formed.
