What is the difference between playing a snare
drum and playing a wind or string instrument?
<Effect—Move image across right to

<Image: MU7_A_3_6_VS_pic1>
The biggest difference is that the snare drum
player does not have to worry about melody.
<Effect—Drop image in from

<Image: http://pixabay.com/en/drummusic-drums-drummer-beat185866/>
Since a snare drum makes only one pitch, the
player is focused entirely on playing the correct
rhythm.

Imagine playing the same single note on the

piano for a whole song.
<Effect—Dissolve to image>

It might not be much to listen to by itself, but the
rhythm is an important element of a full
composition.
<Effect—Drop image in from top>

When you play piano, however, you must
correctly play both the rhythm and melody.

That is why taking time to sight read the rhythm
of a new piece is so important.

We have already studied many different note
types, as long as a whole note, and as short as
a sixteenth.
<Effect—Pull image up from bottom>
<Image: http://pixabay.com/en/notemusical-music-melody-symbol38542/>
We will also add one more note type today: the
thirty-second note.
<Effect—Move image across left to
right>
<Image: MU7_A_3_6_VS_pic2>
As you can probably guess, a thirty-second note
is half the length of a sixteenth note.
<Effect—Fade to image>
<Image:

So it gets one eighth of a beat and takes up one
thirty-second of a measure in common time.
<Effect—Pull image up from bottom>

Remember that eighth, sixteenth, and thirty
second notes can be connected by their beams
when in pairs or larger groups.
<Effect—Dissolve to image>
<image: MU7_A_3_6_VS_pic3>
Just to review, eighth notes have one flag and
are connected by one beam, sixteenth notes
have double flags and are connected by double
beams, and thirty-second notes have triple flags
and are connected by triple beams.
<Effect—Display image at close
zoom, then zoom out>
Think of it this way: as the note length gets
shorter, the note gets more flags or beams.

For every note there is also a corresponding
rest.
<Effect—Move image across right to

<image: MU7_A_3_6_pic4>
We have covered whole, half, quarter, eighth,
and sixteenth rests before.
<Effect—Dissolve to image>
<Image: MU7_A_3_6_VS_pic5>
Just like eighth, sixteenth, and thirty-second
notes look similar with the only difference in the
flags, eighth, sixteenth, and thirty-second rests
look very similar.
<Effect—Pull image up from bottom> To find which type of rest it is, count the flags on
<Image:
the left side of the rest.

<Effect—Leave previous image on

The rest has the same number of flags as the
corresponding note has flags or beams.
<Effect—Move image across right to

<Image: MU7_A_3_6_VS_pic6>
Unlike notes, rests are not connected.
<Effect—Fade to image>
<Image: MU7_A_3_6_VS_pic7>
Instead of using multiple short rests side-byside, the composer will use the largest rest
possible to fill the space.
<Effect—Pull image up from bottom>
<Image: MU7_A_3_6_VS_pic8>
So if you are resting for two beats, you will
always have a half rest, not two quarter rests.
<Effect—Fade to image>
<Image: MU7_A_3_6_VS_pic9>
If you have an odd number of beats to rest, you
may see either a combination of two rests, or a
dotted rest.
<Effect—Drop image in from top>
<Image:
http://pixabay.com/en/musical-notedotted-augmented-27372/>
A dotted rest works exactly the same way as a
dotted note.
<Effect—Display image at wide
zoom, then zoom in>
<Image: MU7_A_3_6_VS_pic10>
So if you have three beats of rest, you may see
a dotted half rest.
<Effect—Move image across left to
right>
<Image: MU7_A_3_6_VS_pic11>
Not all composers like to put dots on rests,
though, so you may also see a half rest plus a
quarter rest.
<Effect—Fade to image>

Now that you know these note and rest values,
you should be able to sing and play music with
notes as small as a thirty-second note.
<Effect—Drop image in from top>

Smaller notes, such as sixty-fourth notes, exist,
of course, but they are very rarely used, even in
very difficult music.

When you encounter short notes, like eighths
and sixteenths, in new music, you will have to
count them as fractions of a beat. There is a
way for doing so, which we will talk about later.
<Effect—Dissolve to image>

For now, it is most important to identify which
note falls on the beginning of each beat.
