Musical Notes and Rest Basics

This document discusses different musical notation elements: 1) Notes represent musical sounds and show pitch and duration, with different note types having different time values like whole, half, quarter notes. 2) Rests indicate silence and correspond to different note values. 3) The measure signature at the beginning of a piece indicates the number of beats per measure using numerals like 4/4 time. 4) Basic hand motions correspond to beat patterns in different time signatures, like down-up for 2/4 time.
