Why? Rest Rule #2 - A Medium Pulse will join a Weak Pulse into one rest. In Simple Quadruple Time, the Medium Basic Beat can join with the second weak Basic Beat into one rest. Why? Rest Rule #3 - A Weak Pulse will not join a Medium Pulse. In Simple Quadruple Time, the first weak Basic Beat cannot join with the Medium Basic Beat into one rest. Why? Rest Rule #1 - A Strong Pulse will join a Weak Pulse into one rest. In Simple Quadruple Time, the Strong Basic Beat can join with the first weak Basic Beat into one rest. Simple Time Rests - Simple Quadruple Time Basic Beats In 4/2 Time, your Basic Beat is 4 Half Notes. In 4/4 Time, your Basic Beat is 4 Quarter Notes. In 4/8 Time, your Basic Beat is 4 Eighth Notes. The Bottom Number of the Time Signature is the value of the Basic Beat note. In Simple Quadruple Time, the Top Number of the Time Signature is 4.
DOUBLE WHOLE REST PLUS
I explain that when the WHOLE measure joins together into one rest, the Strong joins the first weak pulse PLUS the second weak pulse into one WHOLE measure of silence - and we use the WHOLE rest. When I explain it to my students, I stress the word "whole". We are joining the WHOLE measure of silence into one rest. Why? We are not joining a weak Pulse with a weak Pulse. This Rule does not invalidate Rule #4 - A Weak Pulse will not join a Weak Pulse. Why? Rest Rule #5 - A Whole Measure of Silence in Simple Time is a Whole Rest (except in 4/2 Time). When combining the Strong + weak + weak Basic Beat pulse in any Simple Triple Time, the rest will always be a Whole Rest. Why? Rest Rule #4 - A Weak Pulse will not join a Weak Pulse. In Simple Triple Time, the first weak Basic Beat cannot join with the second weak Basic Beat into one rest. In Simple Triple Time, the Strong Basic Beat can join with the first weak Basic Beat into one rest. Simple Time Rests - Simple Triple Time Basic Beats In 3/2 Time, your Basic Beat is 3 Half Notes. In 3/4 Time, your Basic Beat is 3 Quarter Notes. In 3/8 Time, your Basic Beat is 3 Eighth Notes. In Simple Triple Time, the Top Number of the Time Signature is 3. When combining the Strong + weak Basic Beat pulse in any Simple Duple Time, the rest will always be a Whole Rest. Simple Time Rests - Simple Duple Time Basic Beats In 2/2 Time, your Basic Beat is 2 Half Notes. In 2/4 Time, your Basic Beat is 2 Quarter Notes. In 2/8 Time, your Basic Beat is 2 Eighth Notes. In Simple Duple Time, the Top Number of the Time Signature is 2.
A Pulse can be either Strong, Medium or Weak. The Pulse is the "heart beat" of the music. The Basic Beat is the note value of the Bottom Number of the Time Signature. Simple Time is any Time Signature where the Top Number is 2, 3 or 4. The Tilde Sign helps students see when Basic Beats and pulses are not joined into one rest (and 2 separate rests have to be used!) The " Tilde Sign" (~) is a mathematical symbol that means to NOT JOIN. The " Plus Sign" (+) joins (or adds) the Pulses to show students when Basic Beats and pulses are joined into one rest. The " Scoop" is the curved line that is scooping each Basic Beat sound into one Basic Beat and pulse. Yet another concept unique to Ultimate Music Theory is our use of Symbols so that students of all learning styles can See, Hear and Feel the Music. Until then, remember that it is always acceptable to never use dotted rests in Simple Time! Ultimate Music Theory Symbols Make Understanding Rests Easy I'm working hard on trying to find concrete rules to pass on to you. It is becoming "sort of acceptable" but only in certain rest-value placement situations. *Yes, you will sometimes see instances where dotted rests are used in Simple Time.
