Question: The figure shows a whole note (duration). How many guilty, quarter, eighth and sixteenth notes (durations) fit into it?

Answer: The whole note can be split into any number of equal durations. This duration fits 2 half (whole in half), 4 quarter (divide the whole into 4 parts), 8 eighths (if you divide every quarter in half or the whole note into 8 equal parts) or 16 sixteenth notes (similarly, divide the whole by 16) .

Question: How many eighth notes (durations) fit in a half note?

Answer: In one half note fits 4 eighth notes.

Question: How many sixteenth notes (durations) fit in one quarter note?

Answer: In one quarter note 4 fourteenth.

Question: What one note (duration) can express the sum of the durations of three quarter notes?

Answer: Half note with a dot. In one half length, two quarter notes fit in + the point lengthens it by half (that is, another quarter). Total we get three quarters in one half note with a dot.

Question: How much longer is the duration if you put two points to the right of it?

Answer: Two points increase the duration of a note by 75% or ¾ of the original duration. At the same time, the first point increases the duration of the note by half of the original duration, and the second one by another quarter of the original duration.

Question: How to record a half-length with a dot of two durations?

Answer: It is necessary to divide the half note with a point into two equal or unequal durations (for example, half and quarter notes or two quarter notes with dots) and combine these two league durations.

Q: In a 2/4 beat, two quarter notes fit. How to fit in one such tact 6 equal duration notes?

Answer: In order to fit six / 4 notes of equal duration in one measure, it is necessary to divide each quarter note not into two parts, but into three. By dividing the duration by 3, trioles are obtained - groups of notes, each such group must be specially marked on the top or bottom with the dial "3".

Question: What do the numbers that make up the measure for a piece of music mean?

Answer: The upper number means the number of beats in each measure, the lower number indicates the exact duration of each beat.

Question: What is shown in this figure (see picture)?

Answer: This is a one-quarter pause.

Question: A rhythmic pattern of two bars of a piece of music is given (see image). Determine the size of the bars.

Answer: In each measure, the sum of the durations is equal to three quarter notes, which means that the size of the measure is ¾.

Question: How can I find out the exact duration of each note (in seconds) without using a stopwatch?

Answer: In order to calculate the exact duration of each of the notes in seconds, you need to use the metronome: set a suitable tempo on it and see the number of beats per minute. One metronome beat corresponds to one conventional unit of musical time (for example, one beat). If one beat is expressed by a quarter duration, and at the established pace the metronome makes 90 beats per minute (1.5 beats per second), then the duration of one quadruple note at this pace will be 0.75 seconds, the eighth note, respectively, 0.375 seconds, half - 1.5 seconds, etc.

Question: How to determine that the musical notation is over?

Answer: At the end of the musical notation, the final double such trait is set.
