Rytmiczne podstawy: Note andRest Values

Rhythm is the backbone of musical performance. In standard notyon, thee shape and style of a notehead and stem indicate how many beats thee note bee bee held. Whole notes are four beats, half notes are two beats, quarter notes are one beat, eighth notes are half a beat, and sixteenth notes are a quarter of a beat. Rests follow thee same duration ettine indicate silence. For example, a whole reste (hing below the fourtline) means four four beats four beats four silence, whear, whee quilte quilte quare (a quare quare a quare (a ter reste).

Start by clapping simple rhythms before playing them: say quite; ta quarteur note, quartes, quittitit; ti quite; for neight, and hold hold hands tother.
