In
the table to the left is each note
and it's rest partner. The note
value and the rest value are the
same. In other words:
- The
count or beat for a quarter note
is the same for a quarter note rest.
- The
count or beat for a half note is
the same for a half note rest.
- The
count or beat for a whole note is
the same for a whole note rest.
- The
count or beat for a eighth note
is the same for a eighth note rest.
- The
count or beat for a sixteenth note
is the same for a sixteenth
note rest.

 Rests

during a rest but no note or sound is made during the rest. Let's look at and
play some examples. First, some on screen changes need to be noted. It's time
to change a learning tool that we've used up to this point.
