Rhythm- how long or short to hold or play a note
Rhythms studied so far:
Whole Note: O - gets 4 counts in (4/4, 2/4. 3/4 time)
Half Note : d p - gets 2 counts each in (4/4, 2/4, 3/4 time)
Quarter Note: (seen below) gets 1 count each in (4/4, 2/4, 3/4 time)

Quarter Note: (seen below) gets 1 count each in (4/4, 2/4, 3/4 time)
Time Signature: is made up of two numbers and looks like a fraction. The top number tells us how many counts are in each measure, the bottom number tells us what type of rhythm gets 1 count.
examples of time signatures are: 4/4, 2/4, 3/4, 6/8, 2/2 etc.. (normally you will see no line in between the numbers of the time signature)
Key signature: b's or #'s listed before the time signature that tells us what notes are flatted or sharped depending on what letter name the b or # is placed in the key signature. Sometimes key signatures are empty meaning that no notes are sharped or flatted.
Accidentals: #'s, b's or natural signs that come directly in front of a note and are not found in the key signature
Measures:- measures are like boxes and separate notes in the music with the help of Barlines. (See image below)

Musical Alphabet & Clefs - the musical alphabet only consists of seven letters
A,B,C,D,E,F and G. The letters then repeat themselves.
The clef signs tell us the order of the letters on the Staff.
Staff is made up of Five Lines & Four Spaces- the order of the letter names must be memorized and matched to fingering charts.
Treble Clef - looks like a fancy S (is read by Flutes, All Clarinets, All Saxophones, Trumpets, and Bells.)
Bass Clef - looks like a backwards C with two dots (is read by Baritone Horn & Trombone).
