What kind of rest is this?

STOP! YOU'RE UNDER A REST! T-SHIRT


This is all you get for a review this week because I covered rests in my post from last week. To review last week's lesson click here.


So, what's the value of the rest in this joke? Ok, I'll make it easy and give you suggestions:


  1. eighth note
  2. quarter note
  3. half note
  4. whole note

    1. a half rest looks like a top hat and a whole rest looks like an upside down top hat... half rest is fairly obvious and a eigth rest is hard to decscribe... google it!

    2. Finally someone answered! Thank you! You're right. It's a quarter rest. See my blog called "Reading Music: How many beats?". You can find it quite easily by going to the right panel box that says "Music Theory Posts". The eighth rest looks a little like a seven.
