RESTS 5

Posted by Adam Crane on

The Eighth Rest equals the duration of an Eighth Note: 1/2 a BEAT.

The EIGHTH REST

Eighth Rests have One Arc, just like Eighth Note’s One Flag or Beam.

Eighth Rests can fill the first or second part of the beat.

Most often, Eighth Rests occur on the beginning of the beat. (Displayed below)

Above, Eighth Rests occur on the beginning of each beat, immediately followed by an Eighth Note on the second half of each beat.

This rhythm pattern is called playing on the Off Beat.

The measures below show eighth rests in play with other rhythms.

Red lines represent eighth rest silences and blue lines show the notes you play.

In order to subdivide the beat properly, count each measure as: 1+2+3+4+.
Remember, (+) means to count — ‘and.’
