A triplet is the ternary division of a note value. It is a rhythm playing three notes in the space of two. For example, a quarter note triplet consists of three- quarter notes over the same amount of time as two- quarter notes or a single half note. It is an open note with no stem. I always say to my students it looks like a hole…so it is easy to remember! The duration of the whole note is 4 quarter notes. The Half note duration is 2 quarter notes.
It differs from the whole note in that it has a stem, although it is still open. The quarter note has become the de facto standard 1 beat music note. It is also roughly in the middle of the most used notes in the Rhythm Tree , making the quarter note the ideal candidate for ensuring whole notes don't become too long to count, and shorter, popular notes such as eighth and sixteenth notes aren't impossible to count in terms of them being fractions of a note.
The quarter note changes from the half note as it is filled in, as opposed to empty. This is the first note in the rhythm tree to have a flag. The flag is the name for the 'tail' added to the eighth note.
Eighth notes may be a single as shown on the left, or joined together with beams. It is common to see eighth notes joined into sets of 2 to make one beat. Eighth notes may also be grouped in 3s, 4s, 5s, or even 6s depending on the time signature. Remember, however, that no matter how many eighth notes are joined, each one is worth half a quarter note. It may be beamed together in the same way as the eighth note.
One Sixty-fourth note is equivalent to 2 One hundred and twenty-eighth note One Hemidemisemiquaver is equivalent to 2 Semihemidemisemiquaver The sixty-fourth note hemidemisemiquaver has 4 flags hooks , and when there are several sixty-fourth notes hemidemisemiquavers that follow each other than we can write like this:. The one hundred and twenty-eighth note semihemidemisemiquaver has 5 flag hook , and when there are several one hundred and twenty-eighth notes semihemidemisemiquavers that follow each other than we can write like this:.
Stems can point up or down: If the stem points up from a note head, the stem start from the right side of the note, but if it points down, it start from the left. For the sound of the note and for its duration, the orientation of stems has no importance. We prefer this: to this: In the example below, all notes are sounding the same same duration, same pitch Sometimes, orientations of stems are used to indicate the separation of the voices:.
A beam is a horizontal or diagonal line used to connect consecutive notes. Most of the time, note are grouped by beat and only eighth notes quavers or shorter can be beamed. In the example below, the two staves produce exactly the same sounds and the same rhythms. Abbreviations can be used for notation of beams:. Space between notes don't change the rhythms or the duration of the notes:.
The thirty-second note has three flags attached to the stem. When they are beamed together, they have three beams. The sixty-fourth note has four flags attached to the stem.
They have four beams when beamed together in groups of two or more. These note values are not common, but they do occur in music. One thirty-second note is half the length of a sixteenth note.
