Sheet Music Digital Lesson #15 - Rests


	In many pieces of music there are places where you do not want your right hand to play any notes - you want your hand to actually rest. We have symbols called "rests" that represent the notes and their values.

Here is a picture of a whole note, half note and quarter note with their corresponding rests.

The whole note rest is a little black rectangle that hangs from the line.
The half note rest is a little black rectangle that sits on the line.
The quarter note rest is a little squiggly symbol that usually intersects the middle line.

Now let's play "When The Saints" and watch how this song uses all 3 of the rests!
