Answer 1

Explanation:

1. These are the words of the musical language. They tell us what note to play and for how long. Rests tell us how long to play nothing, or have silence in the music. We're going to learn four types of notes and rests; whole, half, quarter and eighth.
2. So, assuming that one quarter note equals one beat, the basic notes and rests would have the following number of beats: Quarter note and rest = 1 beat. Half note and rest = 2 beats. Whole note and rest = 4 beats.

What are the numbers at the beginning of the music called?

We are told at the beginning of the music what the counting will be through two numbers placed on top of each other called the 'Time Signature'. The top number is the amount; the bottom number is the type of beat.
