Piano beginners must learn notes, rests, and dotted dots.

This section explains the types of notes and rests and how they are called.

The notes represent the length of the note as well as the height of the note.

Here are some typical notes.

Whole notes are the basic notes.

As the name suggests, there is a rule that a half note is two beats long because it is the second equalization of the length of a whole note, and a quarter note is one beat long because it is the fourth equalization of the length of a whole note. ・・・・

Although not mentioned here, the 16th note is followed by 32nd and 64th notes.

The shape of the notes after the eighth note is just an increasing number of feathers above.

 

By the way, four beats does not mean playing the same note four times; it means to keep playing (pressing) the same note for four beats.

 

Then how many seconds are in a beat?” I will write about “tempo” in a separate article.

 

rest (in music)

 

Rests represent intervals in which no sound is emitted.

Where there is a rest, wait without pressing the keyboard.

The regularity is exactly the same as that of notes, but the shape is disjointed.

In particular, quarter rests and eighth rests are often used, so remember them well.

After the 16th rest, the shapes of the 32nd and 64th rests increase with the circle on the left side.

 

The trouble with rests is that “whole rests” and “two-minute rests” are very similar.

I can find a number of ways to remember it on the internet.

‘The whole rest is God, so he looks down on the earth.’

‘The two-minute rests are the people, so I’m looking up.’

I learned that 。。。。 Probably not helpful.

Let’s refer to the way to remember it described on other websites (laughs).

 

addition

 

The length of a note or rest is determined by something called a supplementary point.

A dotted point is one and a half times the length of the original note or rest.

Here are some examples.

 

Notes and restsNameLength of sound
additional quarter note1.5 beats (1 beat + 0.5 beats)

long vowel mark (usually only used in katakana)

Adjacent Eighth Rest0.75 beats (0.5 beats + 0.25 beats)

Uh-oh.

The form is a little complicated, as you can see from the length of the sound.

For example, a dotted quarter note would be the length of a quarter note plus an eighth note.

 

This dotted point is more likely to appear on a half note or quarter note.

When you come across it in a score, it may be faster to play it first or listen to performance examples without thinking too hard.

 

*Development

It rarely appears, but two or more dots may be attached.

Let me give you one example to illustrate.

The following image is what is known as a “double-ducked half note”.

From what we have seen so far, the length of a normal “dotted half note” is “3 beats (2 beats + 1 beat)”.

This is further augmented by a supplementary point, making it “3.5 beats (2 beats + 1 beat + 0.5 beats)”.

The second dot extends the note by “half the length of the note extended by the first dot”.

A third dotted point is then added, “・・・・ for the second dotted point,” and so on.

 

This one rarely comes up, but it is good to have the knowledge.
