Example Number Two: Tied Notes

Now let's have a look at example number two. Once again, we have four places where we have tied notes.

1. First Bar:

   • Two quarter notes tied together.
   • Counts: 2.

2. Second Bar:

   • A half note and a quarter note.
   • Total Counts: 3.

3. Third Bar:

   • Two quarter notes.
   • Counts: 2.

4. Final Bar:

   • A tied note that goes from the penultimate to the ultimate bar (from the second to the last bar), made up of two quarter notes.
   • Counts: 2 beats total.

How It Sounds

Let's have a look at how it sounds:

• 1, 2, 3, 4.
• 1, 2, 3, 4.
• 1, 2, 3, 4.
• 1, 2, 3, 4.
• 1, 2, 3, FOUR.

Note: This is a good time to pause the video and practice with the sheet music on the screen.
