The next note is an eigth note that falls in the "+" of 2 (spoken "The And of two"). In the second bar the first note is a dotted quarter and it would be held for the first one and a half beats of the bar on "1 + 2" (spoken "one and two"). In the first bar in the picture above the first note is a dotted half note and would be held for a count of three beats spoken as "one two three", the last note is a quarter note that falls on the fourth beat of the bar and would be counted as "four". A picture of some of these dotted notes can be seen in the following picture: For example, a dotted half note would be held for 3 beats instead of only two, a dotted quarter note would be held for 1 and a half beats, etc. What this means is that the note is held for an additional duration equal to half of the duration of the note. Dotted notes are notes that have a dot placed to the right of them. In addition to these basic note durations there are also dotted notes.
NOTE DURATIONS HOW TO
If you've understood everything up to this point you would probably be able to figure out how to play them properly anyway. I have been playing in various school bands for 13 years and I've only come across one 64th note once, I've never come across a 32nd note and I've only seen one 128th note in a classical piano piece once so you really do not need to worry about these at this point. Basically, a 32nd note is 1/32nd of the length of a 4/4 bar, a 64th note is 1/64th, a 128th note is 128th, etc. There are actually such things as 32nd notes, 64th notes and 128th notes but these are so extremely rare that I won't explain them in detail. The second bar would also be counted the same, however, you would only make sounds on the 1, 2, 3 and 4 and would be silent for all of the e's, +'s and a's. The proper way to count sixteenth notes is by silently saying to yourself inside your head: 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a (spoken as "one eee and aaah two eee and aaah three eee and aaah four eee and aaah"). I have put 16 sixteenth notes in the first bar and only 4 in the second bar to show you the two possible ways they might appear.
