Kinds of Rest and Notes

1) There are different types of musical notes defined by their time value including whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, and eighth notes. 2) Corresponding musical rests exist to indicate periods of silence in music and resemble the note they represent in length but are oriented differently. 3) Common rests include the whole rest as a dark rectangle facing down, the half rest as a dark rectangle facing up, the quarter rest as a squiggly line, and the eighth rest as a slanted line with a dot.
