w
The whole note is like a whole pie.
The whole note
last four (4)
beats.
It’s sound is
w= Ta-ah-ah-ah.
h
The half note is
like cutting the
pie in half. A half
note gets two
beats.
h
It’s sound is
h
= ta-ah!
It takes two half notes to
make one whole note!
The quarter note
is like one piece of
the pie.
q
q q
It gets
one sound to a beat.
It’s sound is ta.
Q
If you cut the pie into
4 equal parts those
parts are called
quarters!
= ta
If you cut the
quarters into
equal parts you
have one eighth
of the pie!
ki
ti
Two eighth notes
put together are
equal to one quarter
note.
In other words
ti-ki
q
= ta.
As you keep cutting
the pie into equal
parts the pieces get
smaller! However,
there are more
pieces to share!
There are 16 pieces
here! That’s like 16th
notes. It takes four
16th notes just to
make 1 quarter note.

Rests are the opposite of notes!
Whole rest = 4 beats of silence-like
an empty pie pan.
Half rest = 2 beats of silence-one
half of the pie is gone.
Quarter rest = 1 beat of silence- ¼
of the pie is gone.

There are also eighth 1/8 7 and
sixteenth 1/16 rests.
Lets play some rhythm patterns using the
notes we’ve learned.
