RULES ON NOTES
When a stem is added
to a whole note, it
becomes a half note.
The half note receives
half of the duration of
the whole note..
The stem is placed at
the right side of the
whole note when
pointing upward and
to the left when
pointing downward.
When the half note is
blackened, it becomes
a quarter note. The
quarter note receives
half of the duration of
the half note.
RULES ON NOTES
When a hook is added
to the quarter note. It
becomes an eighth note.
The eighth note receives
half of the duration of
the quarter note.
The addition of
another hook, reduces
the value of the note
to a half, and the
numerical name of the
note is doubled.
