In this video you will learn how to read
this
A rest is used when you do not want any
pitches played you want silence
The length of time you want the silence
is notated with rests
Let us go through some
Here is a whole rest
A whole rest is placed
below a staff line
Here is a half rest
The half rest is placed above a staff line
Here is the quarter rest
This is what a quarter rest looks like
when it is engraved in printed music or
in a notation program like finale
This is hard to write by hand
So to write it by hand make a Z then a C
musicians will be able to read this handwritten
quarter rest
Here is eighth rest it has a pseudo flag
like an eighth note
The sixteenth rest has two flags like
the sixteenth note
These rests relate to each other like
the notes related to each other in the
last video
So here is a whole rest
So now there are two half rests in one
whole rest
There are two quarter rests in one half
rest and four quarter rests make up one
whole rest
There are two eighth rests in one quarter rest four eighth rests and one-half rest
eight eighth rests in one whole rest
There are two sixteenth rests in
one eighth rest
Four sixteenth rests in one quarter rest eighth sixteenth rests in one half rest
And sixteen sixteenth rests in one whole rest
And here is what you have learned today
