6 Lesson one 7. Question the students about the relationship that exists between rests. (e.g. How many quarter-rests equal the value of one whole-rest? etc.) 8. Explain to the students that this chart shows the relationship that exists between each of the aforementioned rests. (i.e. The value of one whole-rest is equal to the value of two half-rests, etc.) 9. Give the students an opportunity to review these sheets on their own. 10. Distribute a copy of the Note Chart (p.7), to each student. 11. Have the students complete the worksheet by filling in the correct names and values for each note. 12.

(The first part of the worksheet is a review of the note names on the treble staff. If students are experiencing difficulty with this section, review Grade 4B, Lesson 2. For quick reference, see "treble staff" in the Glossary.) N.B. Remind the students that when eighth-notes and sixteenth-notes appear in groups, they are written as follows: ee = q q and xx = q q EVALUATION STRATEGIES: Assess the Note Chart.
