Whole notes, half notes and quarter notes are initially used in the exercises. It is important that the music is played in time, that is give the notes given their proper ‘counted’ value. In the associated videos you will hear the note values counted out. With practice the note timings in music will become natural but in the beginning it is essential to focus on this element.
The whole note lasts for 4 beats, count 1 2 3 4. Practice whole notes using the musical notes E, F and G in exercise 2.
