Answer:
1)The meter of a song is indicated by its time signature. The time signature consists of two numbers, stacked one on top of the other. The top number represents the number of beats per measure, while the bottom number represents the note value for each beat.
2)Four quarter notes equal one whole note. Two half notes equal one whole note. For each note there is a rest of equal value. A whole rest is silent for four beats and a whole note is played or sung for four beats.
3)Half notes – ta-ah or too. Whole note – ta-a-a-ah or too-oo. Sixteenth notes – tiri tiri or tika tika.
4)Replacement syllables are when a system replaces a specific rhythm value for a syllable. For example, every time you saw a quarter note, you may say “ta”. If the meter changes, you still say “ta” for the quarter note even though it may now be the division as with 2/2 time.
5)Two sixteenth notes equal one EIGHTH note.
6)half rest
Like notes, each rest in music is allotted a certain amount of time. This time is measured in beats. A whole rest gets 4 beats, a half rest gets 2 beats, and a quarter rest gets 1 beat.
7)We defined a rhythmic pattern as a succession of musical events contained within a single metric unit that corresponds to a single main beat. As it contains 4 beats of 16th note level there are 24 = 16 possible combination of events within a pattern.
8)A piece with a time signature of 4/4 has four quarter note beats; each measure with a 3/4 meter has three quarter note beats; and each measure of 2/4 time has two quarter note beats.
