![]() The following example uses a new note symbol: If the head is below the third line of the staff, the stem will go upward and to the right of the notehead. If the head is above the third line on the staff, the stem will go downward and to the left of the notehead. The position of the notehead on the staff marks the pitch or musical note. This note symbol is formed by a vertical line called a stem and an oval called a notehead, or simply a head. We can conclude that each quarter note or crotchet lasts one beat. On the staff, you can see eightquarter notes or crotchets. The British name used for each note value that you see on the staff is thecrotchet, while the American name is the quarter note. The symbols used to represent the duration of sounds are called note values. The duration of each sound is represented bya symbol. The note values: signs and symbols Quarter notes or crotchetsĪs you can hear, every symbol on the staff sounds at the same time asevery beat of the metronome. It is up to the musician to select the exact speed between the recommended numbers. For example the word "presto" means "quick," and any speed between 170BPM and 200BPM will work. Words like andante, allegro, moderato, presto and others indicate the speed of the rhythm in a more general way. You will find that some compositions use an Italian word to mark the tempo. If you don't know the BPM number of a desired speed, you can click on the TAP button several times at the speed you need, and the number will be calculated automatically. You can set the speed of the metronome by changing the number in the tempo column. The bigger the number, the faster the tempo. A 120BPM tempo means 120 beats in one minute, or two beats per second. A 60BPM tempo means 60 beats in one minute, or one beat every second. The tempo is measured in beats per minute, or BPM for short. In music, we use the Italian word "tempo," which means "time," to refer to the speed of a composition. Click on the Play button to start the metronome. ![]() Let's hear the metronome playing four beats. You can find the link to the virtual metronome below the video. It has some advanced features for the study of complex rhythms. We have created for you an online metronome at. The metronome works like a heart, because it produces a constant beat that forms the foundation for the music that will be played. Therefore, we use a tool called a metronome, which is a device that produces a constant and precise sound at the desired speed. When we count, we might not be that precise. In the examples forthis class, we'll always count from one to four before we begin playing. In a future lesson, you'll learn that depending on the song, you may need to count to another number. But have you wonder why they count to four? I'll answer that question later. Have you noticed that musicians begin counting from one to four before they start playing? They do this because they want to establish the speed at which everyone should play and show when they should start playing so everyone starts playing at the same time. I'm sure you'll love these lessons because we'll use online tools to practice. In the three classes in this section, you'll learn how to read and write rhythm from scratch using the note values. Hello, friends! Welcome to a new series of lessons about rhythm. Master rhythm with the online metronome.Watch this lesson about rhythm and music note values on YouTube.
