Quarter Rests
The new mark on this song, which is marked in RED, is called a QUARTER REST.
What a quarter rest tells you to do is REST for 1 beat. It is different than the dash (-) that tells you to hold for 1 beat.
In this song, after you play the first note, which is G, you will see a quarter rest. Immediately let go of the G and give the quarter rest 1 silent beat and then proceed with the song.
Make sure you understand the difference between the dash and the quarter rest.
Each receives 1 beat, but the dash is a held previous note, and the quarter rest is total silence.
Members, please refer to the printable version of this lesson for more detail.
