6 -Take a rest.

A few say music is just a series of notes, and they are half right. Music is a sequence of notes and the spaces among them. Those spaces are known as rests, and even in silence, they can actually add motion and life to music. Let's take a look at how they are notated.

Like notes, they have particular symbols for particular durations. A full note rest is a rectangle descending from the fourth line, and a half note rest is a rectangle resting on the third line and pointing upwards. The quarter note rest is a squiggly line, and the rest of the rests are an angled bar that looks like a number "7" with the same number of flags as their equivalent note value. These flags always sweep to the left.
