Let’s work through each problem step by step.
First, remember the note values from the example:
- A half note (𝅗𝅥) = 2 beats
- A quarter note (♩) = 1 beat
- A whole note (𝅝) = 4 beats
We’ll use these to solve each problem.
---
Problem 1:
𝅝 + 𝅝 + ♩ + 𝅗𝅥
= 4 + 4 + 1 + 2
= 8 + 1 = 9; 9 + 2 =
11 beats
---
Problem 2:
♩ + ♩ + 𝅝 – 𝅗𝅥
= 1 + 1 + 4 – 2
= 2 + 4 = 6; 6 – 2 =
4 beats
---
Problem 3:
𝅝 – ♩ + 𝅗𝅥 + ♩
= 4 – 1 + 2 + 1
= 3 + 2 = 5; 5 + 1 =
6 beats
---
Problem 4:
𝅗𝅥 + 𝅗𝅥 – 𝅗𝅥 + 𝅗𝅥 + 𝅗𝅥
= 2 + 2 – 2 + 2 + 2
= 4 – 2 = 2; 2 + 2 = 4; 4 + 2 =
6 beats
---
Problem 5:
♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ + ♩ – ♩
= 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 – 1
= 5 – 1 =
4 beats
---
Problem 6:
𝅝 – ♩ + 𝅝 + 𝅗𝅥
= 4 – 1 + 4 + 2
= 3 + 4 = 7; 7 + 2 =
9 beats
---
Final Answer:
11, 4, 6, 6, 4, 9
