Question

copy down the rhythm, and finish it by adding notes and rests to complete the last two measures. Be sure to continue with the accurate number of beats per measure, and use at least one rest and a variety of notes in each measure.

Answer 1

One possible answer:

Bar 3: quarter note, quarter rest, two eight notes, quarter note

Bar 4: half note, half note

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attachment, the yellow highlights, called bar lines, separate the bars.

There are four bars. Each bar has to have the same number of beats. I counted the beats in red. "+" means 1/2 a beat.

There are different types of notes, and they each have different amounts of beats.

See the first bar:

The first one with an empty head, a half note, is worth 2 beats.

The second one with a filled head, a quarter note, it worth 1 beat.

The third note is actually two notes together. They are two eighth notes, each worth 1/2 a beat. Together, they are 1 beat.

2 + 1 + 1/2 + 1/2 = 4

In the second bar, there are four quarter notes. Each quarter note is 1 beat.

Check the number of beats in this bar.

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4

For the third and fourth bars, choose any combination of notes that give you 4 beats.
