Note Values Handouts... Timing is Everything!

What are note values?

Kind of like fractions in math. Really, if you intend to play music well, you'll never escape math.


Click this text link to view, download, or print my Note Values handouts.

Note values simply tell you how long to let a note last. The difference between the familiar tune of "Flight of the Bumblebee" and the tune of a popular funeral march begins with note values.

Start with a tempo... keep the value of your notes consistent, and you'll find memorizing note values a breeze.

This is a practice handout. If you want to look at all the values, click on my simple, easy handout for understanding notes. This reference and the above handout will help you understand things a bit better.
