Answer:
1.4/4
A quarter rest is equal in time value to a quarter note. It's a period of silence that lasts for one beat in 4/4 time. What this means is that for the duration of one beat, no note should be played.
2.half note
Four eighth notes equal one half note in duration and eight eighth notes equal one whole note.
3.Rests
Rests. The most commonly seen symbol in music that denotes silence is the rest. A rest is basically the opposite of a note – instead of playing a specific pitch for a specific amount of time (e.g. a crotchet G), a rest tells the musician to be silent for a specific amount of time.
4.notes
In music, a note is a symbol denoting a musical sound. In English usage a note is also the sound itself. Notes can represent the pitch and duration of a sound in musical notation. A note can also represent a pitch class.
5.rest
Now that we can see the bottom “4” in this time signature represents a quarter note, we can conclude that a 4/4 time signature means there are a total of four beats per measure, and one quarter note equals one beat.
6.1/2
Eighth Rest equals the duration of an Eighth Note: 1/2 a BEAT. Eighth Rests have One Arc, just like Eighth Note's One Flag or Beam. Eighth Rests can fill the first or second part of the beat. Above, Eighth Rests occur on the beginning of each beat, immediately followed by an Eighth Note on the second half of each beat.
7.one: measure
The time signature 3/4 tells a musician that a quarter note represents one beat in a measure (the lower number) and that there will be three beats in each measure (the top number).
8.one beat
In 2/4 time, there are 2 quarter notes per measure and the quarter note has one beat. In 3/4 time, there are 3 quarter notes per measure and the quarter note has one beat. Compound meters: In 6/8 time, there are 2 beats per measure and the dotted quarter note (which = 3 eighth notes) has one beat.
9.beat: measure
