Now in this video, we want to talk about how to draw our coordinates. And this is the first node which has a value equal to one beat. And the way you would draw a corner obviously is similar to the way you draw a half node. It has a head and a stamp, but it has a coordinate. Now another way that you can draw the head of the quarter note is by simply doing a kind of a diagonal line like that with the stem just as a little bit quicker than less tedious than drawing a circle and then coloring it in. And you can do that obviously on any logical space.

Of course, depending on which line or space you're on the stand will be either facing pointing up or pointing down. And as we said in the video before, the notes that are on or above, the B have the stems pointing down while those that are below the note B have the essential pointing up. So that might just be something worth practicing if you want to. So now that you understand quarter notes, you will also be able to understand how tempo is depicted on the stave. So we have a little coordinate, equals, and 70 for argument's sake, which means that there are 70 quarter notes every minute, so 70 beats per minute. In addition to that, we can start using what is called the four four time signature, which looks like this, it would come after the key signature, just like common time key signature would, you don't have a key signature, so we just put it quite close to the treble clef.

And what this means obviously, is literally four quarter notes per bar. And we're going to start using the four four time signature instead of the common time. Because, ironically enough, it's actually more common than the common time signature. So you'll see four four more frequently than you would the common time signature, but I wanted to do common time, just to introduce you to it, so that when you see it, you you come across it, you'll know what it means. So the next thing we want to do is just do our first example, which is four quarter notes per bar. Okay, so obviously, what we have here is four notes, or quarter notes.

And once again, we want to keep that the pitch really simple and constant while we're getting used to the rhythms. Okay, so we have one, two 341234 literally a note on every beat. So the second example, we would put a chord on the first beat of the bar like this for four time signature, and we will just fill in our code. GB ne and once again, we have a downward pointing stem, because the majority of the notes in the chord will usually have a downward pointing stamp. If the majority of notes were had an upward pointing stem, then we'd use an upward pointing stem instead. Let me just show you an example maybe of that, if we for example, have the notes, E, G, and B.

You can see that B would normally point down, but because we've got G and E as well They take precedence so we'll have an upward pointing stem for that chord instead. And then we just fill in the rest of the stave, in the same way. Okay, so now on the first beat of every ball, we'd have a chord instead of just a note, still exactly the same 123 fourths, just every play that chord and then go on to the notes, 12341234 etc. Now, the last thing we want to do is get used to using a, what's called a quarter wrist, which indicates silence for one beat. The way to do a quarter wrist is by making a kind of backwards s which extends from just above the fourth line to just above the second line, and then with a little tail that goes through the second line that's maybe a little bit too exaggerated, but I'm going to start just a little bit above and just come through a little bit like that.

That's probably why accurate and once again, you might want to just do a line or two of just quarter wrists just to get used to them. So we're gonna add our quarter s into the next example. Now when it comes to the third beat of the second bar, I'm going to do silence for one beat. indicator indicated by a quarter wrist and And we carry on filling the rest of the state. Once again, when I get to the third beat of the fourth bar, I want to do a quarter rest again. And then finish the ball off with the note as the final beat the violin and the way this would sound obviously is 123412 wrist for once again 123412 wrist four
