The numbers represent the lines that they are on?

[Clough]

The numbers are for the fingers the you would use in your right hand in order to play the notes.

The number three would be your third, or middle finger. Your little finger would be the number five.

What do you think the number of your thumb would be then?

[Shiang]

The thumb would be number one! Right? :s

[Clough]

Yes, the thumb would be number one. Your left-hand thumb would also be number one. Our hands are the opposite of each other, but the fingers are numbered the same.

What kind of note is this?

[Shiang]

It is an eighth note! Or is it the one with a flag?

[Clough]

It's a quarter note. An eighth note would have a flag. How many flags would a sixteenth note have?

[Clough]

Here is an image of an eighth note.

[Shiang]

I guess two flags for the sixteen one?

[Clough]

And, how many flags and what kind of note would be the next one after the sixteenth note if we're going up in numbers but shorter in the time duration of the notes?

[Shiang]

I do not know. :(

[Clough]

A 32nd note. This is what it would look like.

[Shiang]

Holy wow! That's a big image lol.

So three flags for it?

[Clough]

The note values go like this:

1 ='s a whole note.
2 ='s a half note.
4 ='s a quarter note.
8 ='s an eighth note.
16 ='s a sixteenth note.
32 ='s a 32nd note.

and, so on.

[Clough]

Holy wow! That's a big image lol.

So three flags for it?

Yes, you're right. That is a big image and I should probably tame it down!

Yes, three flags for the 32nd note.

[Clough]

Here is the first page of your song again. What do you think are the letter names of the first two notes in the treble clef part, please?

[Shiang]

Are they D?

[Clough]

You're close. They're "C"'s. Based upon what you've already learned, what finger of your right hand do you think that you would use on the two "C"'s?

[Shiang]

Would it be the middle finger?

Ack it's really late. I need to sleep. Have a goodnight. :)

[Clough]

It would be your right thumb which is finger number one.

I know, it's really late for me too!

I'll catch you later! We'll learn this stuff yet!

Goodnight and sweet dreams to you! :)

[Shiang]
