Let's solve this
"Music Math - Level 1" worksheet step by step. The goal is to
add the beats of musical notes and rests.

🎵 Understanding Note and Rest Values
In standard 4/4 time (which is assumed here unless otherwise stated), the beat values are:
| Symbol | Name | Beat Value |
|--------|------------------|------------|
| 🎵 `♩` | Quarter note | 1 beat |
| 🎵 `♪` | Eighth note | ½ beat |
| 🎵 `𝅝` | Half note | 2 beats |
| 🎵 `𝅗𝅥` | Whole note | 4 beats |
For
rests, the same values apply:
- Quarter rest (`𝄆`) = 1 beat
- Eighth rest (`𝅘𝅥`) = ½ beat
- Half rest (`𝄆`) = 2 beats
- Whole rest (`𝄇`) = 4 beats
> Note: In the image, the symbols might look like:
> - Quarter note: `♩`
> - Eighth notes: `♪` (two together make a pair)
> - Half note: `𝅝`
> - Whole note: `𝅗𝅥`
> - Quarter rest: `𝄆`
> - Eighth rest: `𝅘𝅥`
> - Half rest: `𝄆` (looks like a little rectangle)
> - Whole rest: `𝄇` (looks like a solid rectangle hanging down)
