Were you taught to "swoop" that hook (curving up to the top of the rest)? Or is your hook a straight line from the dot to the top of the Eighth Rest? (Either is acceptable.) Drawing that upper line (the "hook") to end in the middle of Space #3.Drawing that upper line (the "hook") up to touch Staff Line #4.I am pretty certain that if we brought 10 Teachers into a Zoom Room and asked them to show how they teach their Students to draw an Eighth Rest, we would have 2 different opinions: It is actually a bit tricky to draw an Eighth Rest by hand so that it looks just like the Eighth Rest that is written using a program like Finale.
QUAVER REST MANUAL
The Norton Manual of Music Notation states that "Rests should be drawn to resemble those found in engraved music as closely as possible".Įngraved Music today is typically music that is written using a Computer Program.
Guess how many Sixteenth Notes will it equal?) (Do you see the math in these values? I love it! A Whole Note = 2 Half Notes = 4 Quarter Notes = 8 Eighth Notes. The Dolmetsch Online Music Dictionary says that an Eight Rest is to rest one eighth the time value of a whole rest.

QUAVER REST SERIES
This Series explores how to write the rests properly by hand. In the fifth blog in this Writing Rests Blog Series, we explore How to Write an Eighth Rest. Writing Rests Blog Series #4 - How to Write a Quarter Rest.Writing Rests Blog Series #3 - How to Write a Half Rest.Writing Rests Blog Series #2 - How to Write a Whole Rest.Writing Rests Blog Series #1 - How to Write a Breve Rest.Laminate the game board and cards if desired.Welcome to the Ultimate Music Theory Blog Series on How to Write Rests.Find game counters such as erasers, paperclips, buttons or small toys.Print the decorative back (page 8) on the back of the note and rest cards if desired.Print out the note and rest cards (page 4-7).This game is very quick to assemble, you only need to: Optional Extra: Players must name the note value in order to move forward. The winner is the first to get to the playground.Quavers/eighth notes move them only half a space forward, to one of the small stepping stones. If a player draws a note card – they move forward that many spaces.If a player draws a rest card – they must wait out that many turns (e.g.Players take turns to draw a note or rest value from the pile.Each player places a counter on “start here”.Rests make you sit out your turn so it’s great for teaching rest values (but may cause some resentment to be attached to them). There are little spaces in between the big ones, so quavers (eighth notes) only take you half a step forward. Psst!

Send the video home to parents and save some lesson time that you can use for playing theory games, or working on Thinking Theory Book One pages 8 and 9 together. This video is a follow on from the basic note values video, and introduces students to quavers, dotted crotchets and rests.
When it comes to teaching rest values, there’s the complication of minim and semibreve rests looking almost the same…and the semibreve rest counting for a whole bar in any time signature.īut never fear! I’ve got a flipped music theory video, and a music theory boardgame to help you out when it comes time to cross these bridges. Most schools won’t teach fractions until kids are about 9 years old, so this can be a foreign concept to many kids. While these note values are not “difficult”, younger students may get tripped up by the quaver being half a beat. Here students learn about quavers, dotted crotchets, and three different types of rests. In chapter 2 of Thinking Theory Book One, I introduce some slightly more complicated note values.
