THE SEMIBREVE

This is worth four beats,

and so is a whole fraction. or

THE MINIM

This is worth two beats,

and so is a half fraction.

THE CROTCHET

This is worth one beat, and

so is a quarter fraction.

THE QUAVER

This is worth half a beat, and

so is an eighth fraction.

A dot is often added to notes to make them last longer. Tofind the value of a dotted note we must add the value of thenote (without a dot) and the value of the note that is half itslength. In this example of a dotted crochet, we need to add acrochet and a quaver.

DOTTED NOTES

For the pieces of music below, work out where you should draw bar lines to make each bar add up to 1.

Example:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

M A K E Y O U R O W N M U S I C !

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Some of these pieces of music are missing notes. Work out what fraction is missing and add some notes

to make the bars add up to 1 again!
