Let’s go row by row and figure out what each symbol is, whether it’s a note or rest, its name, and how many beats it gets.
We’ll use standard 4/4 time (common time) unless otherwise noted — that means a whole note = 4 beats, half note = 2, quarter = 1, eighth = ½, etc. Rests match the beat value of their corresponding notes.
---
Row 1: Treble clef + “Z” shape on middle line → This is a QUARTER REST
- It’s a rest (not a note)
- Name: Quarter Rest
- Value: 1 beat
→ Tick “Rest”, write “Quarter Rest”, “1”
---
Row 2: Treble clef + open notehead with stem going up from second line → That’s a HALF NOTE on G
- It’s a note
- Name: Half Note (on G in treble clef)
- Value: 2 beats
→ Tick “Note”, write “Half Note”, “2”
*(Note: We don’t need to specify pitch unless asked — just the type of note/rest)*
---
Row 3: Treble clef + dot after a rest that looks like a squiggle on top line → That’s a DOTTED HALF REST
Wait — actually, let’s look again. The symbol is a horizontal line with a dot above it? No — in music notation, this is likely a dotted half rest, but drawn as a rectangle sitting on the third line with a dot to the right? Actually, looking at common symbols:
Actually, this appears to be a half rest (rectangle hanging from 3rd line) with a dot → so dotted half rest
But wait — in some fonts, it might be misdrawn. Let me double-check standard symbols.
Actually, re-examining: In many worksheets, this symbol (a small rectangle centered on the 3rd line with a dot to the right) is meant to represent a dotted half rest.
BUT — hold on! Looking more carefully at typical Level 2 material, this may simply be a half rest without the dot being intentional? Or perhaps it's a typo?
Wait — no, in the image description, Row 3 shows: treble clef + a symbol that looks like a dash with a dot — which is actually a dotted half rest.
Standard values:
- Half rest = 2 beats
- Dotted half rest = 2 + 1 = 3 beats
So:
- It’s a rest
- Name: Dotted Half Rest
- Value: 3 beats
→ Tick “Rest”, write “Dotted Half Rest”, “3”
*(If your teacher hasn’t covered dotted rests yet, this might be an error — but based on symbol, we go with dotted.)*
Alternatively — if the dot is not part of the rest symbol but a printing artifact? But since it’s clearly shown, we assume it’s intentional.
---
Row 4: Treble clef + filled notehead with stem and flag → EIGHTH NOTE
- It’s a note
- Name: Eighth Note
- Value: ½ beat (or 0.5)
→ Tick “Note”, write “Eighth Note”, “0.5” or “½”
*(Some teachers prefer fractions, some decimals — either is fine, but fraction is more musical.)*
---
Row 5: Bass clef + “Z” shape on fourth line → QUARTER REST (same as row 1, just in bass clef)
- Rest
- Name: Quarter Rest
- Value: 1 beat
→ Tick “Rest”, write “Quarter Rest”, “1”
---
Row 6: Bass clef + open notehead with stem down from fourth line → HALF NOTE on A
- Note
- Name: Half Note
- Value: 2 beats
→ Tick “Note”, write “Half Note”, “2”
---
Row 7: Bass clef + filled notehead with dot → DOTTED QUARTER NOTE
Symbol: filled head, stem, dot to the right → dotted quarter note
- Note
- Name: Dotted Quarter Note
- Value: 1 + ½ = 1.5 beats (or 3/2)
→ Tick “Note”, write “Dotted Quarter Note”, “1.5” or “3/2”
---
Row 8: Bass clef + filled notehead with stem → QUARTER NOTE
- Note
- Name: Quarter Note
- Value: 1 beat
→ Tick “Note”, write “Quarter Note”, “1”
---
Row 9: Bass clef + open notehead with no stem → WHOLE NOTE
- Note
- Name: Whole Note
- Value: 4 beats
→ Tick “Note”, write “Whole Note”, “4”
---
Now let’s compile all answers neatly for the table:
| Symbol | Note | Rest | Name | Note Value (in beats) |
|--------|------|------|------------------|------------------------|
| 🎵 Z | | ✔ | Quarter Rest | 1 |
| 🎵 ○↑ | ✔ | | Half Note | 2 |
| 🎵 —• | | ✔ | Dotted Half Rest | 3 |
| 🎵 ●↓🪶| ✔ | | Eighth Note | ½ |
| 🎼 Z | | ✔ | Quarter Rest | 1 |
| 🎼 ○↓ | ✔ | | Half Note | 2 |
| 🎼 ●• | ✔ | | Dotted Quarter Note | 1.5 |
| 🎼 ●↓ | ✔ | | Quarter Note | 1 |
| 🎼 ○ | ✔ | | Whole Note | 4 |
✔ Final Answer:
Row 1: Rest, Quarter Rest, 1
Row 2: Note, Half Note, 2
Row 3: Rest, Dotted Half Rest, 3
Row 4: Note, Eighth Note, ½
Row 5: Rest, Quarter Rest, 1
Row 6: Note, Half Note, 2
Row 7: Note, Dotted Quarter Note, 1.5
Row 8: Note, Quarter Note, 1
