By the end of the lesson…
I will have found out what dots mean
for rhythmic note values
I will be able to identify and use
anacrusis
I will be able to identify metronome
markings and know what they mean
Subdivisions
This is the table that we used last lesson
What if wanted a different subdivision?
What if we wanted a note that was 3 beats long?
Dots


When we add a dot to a note, it
immediately increases the value of the note
by 50% (ie half as much again).
The dot always goes to the right of the
note.
Different dotted notes
How
many
beats do
these
notes last
for?
3 beats
1 ½ beats
¾ of a beat
Dotted Rhythm
This rhythm is
used often in
music, as it adds
up to one whole
beat.
It is called a dotted
rhythm, and has a
skipping quality.
Can you clap this
rhythm?

Mark together
Tied notes

Ties are curved lines that join two or more
notes of the same pitch together into one
note of longer length.
When to use tied notes?




The note value created does not exist
You cannot fit the note into the rest of the bar, so
the two notes are tied across a barline
Where the note does not cross a barline, and the
note value does exist, but to make it would
confuse the grouping of the notes in that bar.
Look at Page 22 for an example

Anacrusis

An upbeat. An unaccented note or group of
notes that come before the first strong beat
of a phrase. At the start of a piece an
anacrusis forms an incomplete bar.
