Understanding Musical Notes and Their Values in Composition

This lesson introduces students to the five most common musical notes and their corresponding rests. By analyzing the value of each note, including whole, half, quarter, eighth, and sixteenth notes, students will learn how to write music within a specific time signature, focusing on 4/4 time. Utilizing a structured approach, students will practice identifying notes, their durations, and will be tasked with composing a four-measure rhythm that adheres to learned concepts. This foundational skill enriches their understanding of music composition.
