In today’s lesson, we discussed the concept of silence in music, particularly how musicians use rests—periods of silence—to enhance the overall composition. We learned that rests can create variety within an orchestra, allowing different instruments to blend harmoniously and providing opportunities for musicians to catch their breath. The lesson also covered how each type of note corresponds to a specific rest duration, highlighting the importance of these elements in creating interesting and engaging music. Finally, we examined various musical symbols that represent different notes and their respective rests.
