🎵 Understanding Note and Rest Values



In music, each note and rest has a specific duration (number of beats):

| Symbol | Name | Beats |
|--------|---------------|-------|
| 🎼 `♩` (Quarter Note) | Quarter Note | 1 beat |
| 🎼 `♪` (Eighth Notes) | Two Eighth Notes | 2 × 0.5 = 1 beat |
| 🎼 `𝅝` (Half Note) | Half Note | 2 beats |
| 🎼 `𝅗𝅥` (Whole Note) | Whole Note | 4 beats |
| 🎼 `𝄆` (Quarter Rest) | Quarter Rest | 1 beat |
| 🎼 `𝅘𝅥𝅮` (Half Rest) | Half Rest | 2 beats |
| 🎼 `𝅘𝅥𝅯` (Whole Rest) | Whole Rest | 4 beats |

> Note: In this worksheet:
> - A single eighth note (`♪`) is worth ½ beat
> - Two eighth notes together (`♫`) are worth 1 beat
> - A quarter note (`♩`) = 1 beat
> - A half note (`𝅝`) = 2 beats
> - A whole note (`𝅗𝅥`) = 4 beats
> - Quarter rest (`𝄆`) = 1 beat
> - Half rest (`𝅘𝅥𝅮`) = 2 beats
> - Whole rest (`𝅘𝅥𝅯`) = 4 beats
