Two Eighth Notes | Single Eighth Note and Rest |
Each 8th Note receives half of a beat. We say that these 8th notes are beamed together. Together these 8th notes have a value of one beat. The same as one quarter note. |
Above, we see a single 8th note and a single 8th rest. Each one receives one-half of one beat. The single 8th note is drawn with a single flag.
