Sheet Music Because
Constant Time And Whole, Quarter, And Half Notes
Think back to elementary school music class. You might be able to recall learn about Ta’s, Tee Tee Ta’s and other such noises that didn’t make a lot of sense at the time. What was being taught to you at a young age was the basics of beats, notes and common time for music also known as 4/4 time or 4 beats per measure.
What is Common Time?
When you look at sheet music, especially in popular music, most of it is in what’s known as common time or 4 beats per measure of music. If you could out 1, 2 ,3 and 4 in a steady manner that would be one measure of music. How quickly you count those beats doesn’t matter because the beats speed is the tempo not the time.
What is a Whole Note?
A whole note stretches an entire bar of music. So in our example there would be one note per four beats. In the example above I gave you if you held the same note for the count of four that would be a whole note. This example holds true in common time, if we were in a different time then you would hold the whole note for more beats, how ever many it took to fill the entire bar.
Half Notes
A half note is exactly one half of a whole note. In common time which is 4/4/ there would be two half notes that span two beats each, and two half notes will last the same length of time as a whole note.
What is a Quarter Note?
You’ve probably already guessed it but a quarter note is held for half the length of time as a half note or one quarter the length of time as a whole note. Each of these other beats relates back to be a portion of a whole note. In common time a quarter note is four notes per bar, so in our example each the 1, the 2, the 3 and the 4 would receive it’s own note.
This is the basic outline of beats, and it keeps going as a whole note can be divided down further into eighth notes and sixteenth notes the same way we did with the half and quarter notes above.
To learn more about musical theory on the Piano consider trying a piano lesson dvd. Home study courses like these are becoming the option of choice for many adults who strive to teach yourself piano primarily because of the lower cost and low time requirement compared to private lessons. Give it a try.
