2. 1 READ: Notes

Note

In standard notation, a single musical sound is written as a note.  The two most important things a written piece of music needs to tell you about a pitch are its pitch - how high or low it is- and its duration or length- how long it lasts. In this module, we only focus on the duration of notes.
