First, count our loud, 1 - 2 - 3 - 4, in a nice
even temp 3 times.
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4
Next, we want you to play the E above Middle C
on your keyboard each time you say a number.
Below is how it would look on the musical staff.
Notice that each note gets 1 out of the 4 beats,
therefore it is called a 1/4 (quarter note)

Click on
the play button to see and hear and count the quarter notes
play on the musical staff!
If you can't see the music
below, not to worry. This means you need to download the

The
second type of note we are going to learn is called the
"half note".
Below is a picture of a half note.
Notice that each note gets 2 out of the 4 beats,
therefore it is called a 1/2 (half note)

Below is an example of a song that uses both quarter
and half notes. Practice playing along with your
keyboard!
