These are the “rests”. One of the students named them “silent notes” and it is a very good name for these signs. Literally, you take a rest, or be silent for each value of the signs. There are only three cards in this group, and pay good attention to remember their looks, names, and the values.
WHOLE REST – 4 COUNTS
HALF REST – 2 COUNTS
QUARTER REST – 1 COUNT
