Next, let's talk about the half note. A half note lasts twice as long as a quarter note. Let's count again. We will count 1 - 2 - 3 - 4, 1 - 2 - 3 - 4, 1 - 2 - 3 - 4, 1 - 2 3 - 4. Half notes fall on numbers 1 and 3. Clap on numbers 1 and 3. A half note or minim lasts two beats. Hold the note for two beats.

Let's count and clap half notes.

1 (clap), 2, 3 (clap), 4,

1 (clap), 2, 3 (clap), 4,

1 (clap), 2, 3 (clap), 4,

1 (clap), 2, 3 (clap), 4.

There's a half note on every other beat. In other words, there's a half note on beats 1 and 3.

Half rests have the same duration as half notes. You must be silent for two beats when you come across a half rest.
