PIThis chart explains ties in music notation. A tie is the curved line that connects two notes of the same pitch, telling the player to hold the sound longer instead of playing the note again.
On the chart, each pair (or group) of notes joined by a curved line should be counted as one continuous sound. The note values are added together to know how long to hold the note. For example, if a quarter note is tied to an eighth note, you hold the sound for the total of both note lengths.
The repeated patterns help students practice:
• Counting tied rhythms correctly
• Holding notes smoothly without re-striking
• Feeling steady timing and pulse
This visual, step-by-step layout is especially helpful for children and beginner piano students, making rhythm reading clearer, more practical, and easier to remember.
