RESTS CAN EQUAL ANY NOTE VALUE
Remember, a Dot adds half the value to a note’s original value. The same rule applies to Rests.
Infinite divisions of the beat are possible.

Q has returned with a review and has prepared more Rhythm Workouts, so you can gain experience performing rhythms that include rests. I enjoyed teaching rhythm notation and promise to return, sharing more rhythm knowledge later on.
