More questions on EIGHTH NOTES?!


Question: I am talking about eighth notes on a piano.
How many times do you hit a pair of eighth notes?
What do you do and how many times do you hit if the pair of eighth notes are on two different lines?

Please explain as much as you can, maybe with pictures or links.

Do you have something for us to reference? Your post doesn't make much sense as it is. I think you should get an instructor who can guide you through a little music theory, because getting it on Yahoo Answers isn't the way to learn to play.

Basically though, here's how it breaks down. If you are in 4/4 time, you have four beats per measure, and the quarter note gets the beat. That means each quarter note is one beat in the measure. Logically, you divide the quarter notes in two for the eighth notes. It follows that you will have 8 eighth notes (two for each beat) per measure.

Good luck!

do you even know what notes each line represents?

I'm just trying to help. I don't play piano regularly but I used to be able to read a hard piano song which is the only one I know and i read rhythm and basic music. if it's a pair and they are lined up together then im sure you play those two notes together...

if they are eighth notes (one flag thing at the top) then you just play it for the duration of one eighth note (an eighth of that measure) and let it go unless you're supposed to sustain it. I don't understand the question because you're asking how many times you hit a pair of eighth notes, but eighth notes are a measure of how long you HOLD that note(s) for... you play it once I guess, and most likely you let it go right after that, staying in time of course. idk.

If you tap your foot and count along with the tapping out loud (one two three four, one two three four), an eighth note would be like putting the word 'and' in between the numbers. (one and two and three and four and)
They call them eighth notes because they are one eighth of a whole note in length.

That's an absolutely baffling question. I don't know what you're trying to ask.
