A note is a symbol denoting a musical sound. In English usage,
a note is also the sound itself. Notes can represent the pitch
and duration of a sound in musical notation. A note can also
represent a pitch class.
The rest is used to mark pauses in written music. It is just as
important to play rests for the number of beats they are written as
it is to play a note. There is a corresponding note for every rest.
Rests can occur on any beat, in the middle of a measure, or at the
end of a bar.
Beat, in music, the basic rhythmic unit of a measure, or bar, not to
be confused with rhythm as such; nor is the beat necessarily
identical with the underlying pulse of a given piece of music, which
may extend over more than a single beat.
What is the difference
between the note and rest?
The note tells to play and
for how long. Rest tell us
how long to play nothing, or
have silence in the music.

If you feel a strong-weak pattern on the beats of the
song, the meter is said to be in two-time meter or
duple meter. Meter measures how many beats there
are in a set. The set is determined through the strong
and weak beats (accented or unaccented).
Accent marks (>) may be written -above or below a
note head to remind us that these beats should be
given more emphasis than the other beats. Beats
maybe written in stick notation using vertical lines.
To clearly see the meter of the song, vertical lines or
bar lines are placed to clearly see the groupings of
beats. Bar lines are vertical lines that group the beats
into measures
There is a double bar at the end of a musical piece
to mark the end. Measures are spaces between bar
lines that contain divisions of strong beats and weak
beats.
The symbol found at the beginning of a musical piece
tells us the number of beats in each measure, and
the note that receives one beat is called the time
signature.
This upper number tells us that there are
two beats in each measure.

This lower number tells us that the quarter


note gets one beat.
that's a wrap.
And

WELL DONE!
