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.
