Group 1: identifying a single omitted rest in simple time
Activity 1
Which single rest is required at the place marked with the asterisk?
Answer
Since the two crotchets take up the first half of the first bar in 4/4, the second half can have a minim rest.
Activity 2
Which single rest is required at the place marked with the asterisk?
Answer
Since there is already a minim in the second bar, a crotchet rest is needed in 3/4 to make three crotchet beats overall.
Activity 3
Which single rest is required at the place marked with the asterisk?
Answer
The second beat in the first bar already contains a semiquaver together with a quaver. Therefore a semiquaver rest is needed to complete the second beat.
