What’s the answer ?

1. Pitches are indicated by noteheads that either occur on the middle of a line on the staff, or in a space between two lines. The clef determines the names of the pitches on the staff. Here is an interactive example of the grand staff, which consists of a treble clef and bass clef staff. The higher a note is on the staff, the higher its pitch is.

2. Look at any piece of music.

Note the smallest subdivision (eighth, sixteenth, whichever).

Select any rhythm, and note how it divides into 4.

Compare the selected rhythm with the list of 8 common rhythms.

Wash, rinse, repeat. After a few times, you’ll start to recognize them more quickly .
