Ney Lesson - 4 -
Note Reinforcement, Dotted Note and Triplet
In this lesson, we will reinforce the notes and get to know them better.
As a small reminder,
if we proceed from the beginning and complete all exercises, our lessons will be much more beneficial.
As we have stated many times, we do not move on to the next lesson without completing the current one.
Let us review the notes and their values once again:
In the table below, you can see the most advanced modern form of GUIDO Music Notation.
We need to know these note values.
NOTE TREE
The meaning of these note values is as follows:
Whole Note : A note with 4 beats.
Half Note (1/2) : A note with 2 beats.
Quarter Note (1/4) : A note with 1 beat.
Eighth Note (1/8) : A note with half a beat.
Sixteenth Note (1/16) : A note with a quarter beat.
Thirty-second Note (1/32) : A note equal to half of a sixteenth note.
Sixty-fourth Note (1/64) : A note equal to half of a thirty-second note.
As we mentioned in the previous lesson:
Theoretically, a quarter, an eighth, or a sixteenth note,
in practice are simply referred to as quarter, eighth, or
sixteenth or thirty-second notes.
The number (1) is not used in practice.
Based on this information, let us review the note values:
Re Note Exercise:
As we learned in our second lesson, we know the position of the Re note on the Ney.
To define it once again:
The Re note, as you see on the staff, is on the fourth line:
Holes to be closed:
RIGHT HAND: Thumb and middle finger.
LEFT HAND: Middle finger.
Please examine the image below:
If you do not remember the Re note, click here.
Repeat Sign: A section of a musical piece that is to be played or read twice consecutively.
On this page, we see repeat signs at the beginning and end of the staff.
As you may remember from Lesson 3, the repeat sign allows us to play the same section or line once again.
Example exercise for the Re note:
Metronome: 75
In this exercise, since there is no comma mark, we can take a breath at any note we wish.

Do Note Exercise:
The Do note, as you see on the staff, is in the third space:
Holes to be closed:
RIGHT HAND: Thumb, index finger, and middle finger.
LEFT HAND: Middle finger.

In other words, all holes are closed.
Please examine the image below:

Dotted Note
A dotted note is a symbol placed after a note to increase its duration by half of its value.
Below, you can see the dotted whole note:
A whole note has 4 beats; with a dot, we add half of its value.
So the total duration becomes 6 beats.
Below, you can see the dotted half note:
A half note has 2 beats; with a dot, we add half of its value.
So the total duration becomes 3 beats.
Below, you can see the dotted quarter note:
A quarter note has 1 beat; with a dot, we add half of its value.
So the total duration becomes 1.5 beats.
Below, you can see the dotted eighth note:
An eighth note has half a beat; with a dot, we add half of its value.
So the total duration becomes 0.75 beats.
Below, you can see examples of dotted notes:
Small exercise 1 with dotted notes:
Metronome: 75
Video:
Small exercise 2 with dotted notes:
Metronome: 75
Video:
Triplet
A triplet is a group of three notes played in the time of two notes of the same value.
In other words, it divides a note value into three equal parts.
Below, you can see examples of triplets:
Small exercise 1 with triplets:
Metronome: Quarter note = 60
Video:
Small exercise 2 with triplets:
Metronome: Quarter note = 75
Video:
Small exercise 3 with triplets:
Metronome: Quarter note = 50

Triplet exercise:
Metronome: 75

We have completed Lesson 4.
You can practice the exercises at slower tempos.
Then gradually increase the speed and repeat many times.
Practice until you reach the level of memorization.
Objectives of this lesson:
- Learning note values.
- Memorizing the names and positions of the notes.
- Understanding the rhythmic values of notes.
- Completing the exercises.
- Learning dotted notes and completing the exercises.
- Learning triplets and completing the exercises.
After completing these objectives, you may proceed to the next lesson.
