THE NEIL A. KJOS PIANO LIBRARYThe Neil A. Kjos Piano Library is a comprehensive series of piano music in a wide variety of musicalstyles. The library is divided into eleven levels and will provide students with a complete performance experience inboth solo and ensemble music. Teachers will find the carefully graded levels appropriate when choosing repertoirefor evaluations, auditions, festivals, and examinations. Included in the Neil A. Kjos Piano Library:Preparatory Level- Level TenFundamentals of Piano TheoryPiano Repertoire: Baroque & ClassicalPiano Repertoire: Romantic & 20th CenturyPiano Repertoire: EtudesScale SkillsEssential Piano RepertoireMusic of tbe 21st CenturyNew Age PianoJazz PianoOne Piano Four HandsMusic for ChristmasPREFACEThe study of music theory is an integral part of a complete musical education. Piano students who haveconsistent theory instruction will retain and interpret music more easily and accurately. Fundamentals of PianoTheory from the Neil A. Kjos Piano Library provides piano students with an organized course for the study ofmusic theory. Each volume contains essential rudiments of theory particularly relevant to the study of piano music.The appropriately graded levels present concepts in a clear, systematic manner to ensure steady and thoroughprogress as pianists advance in their understanding of music theory.

6Unit 2Time Signatures and RhythmTime SignaturesThe time signature is the two numbers written at the beginning of a piece . The top nUlTlber tells how many beats are in each measure. The bottom number tells what kind of note gets one beat.In a time signature with a 4 on the bottom, the quarter note2 means two beats in each measure.I4: means the quarter note gets one beat. ,.The half note gets two beats.3 means three beats in each measure.4: means the quarter note gets one beat.Igets one beat. 1 beatJ ,. 2 beats 1 beatJ 2 beatsJ. 3 beats The dotted half note gets three beats.4: means four beats in each measure.4: means the quarter note gets one beat.I,. 1 beatJ 2 beatsJ. 3 beats The whole note gets four beats.Cis another way to write the time signature 4 beats0t.It is called common time.Rest SignsRest signs are used in music for silence.
