When do we use it?Usually to carry notes over a bar line

into another measure.

? WHY ?

4 (quarter note) beats in every measure

If we use a note greater than a quarter note on Beat 4, like a HALF note, it will not be true to the Time Signature

1st – Remember the Time Signature:

Ta Ta Ta Ta- ah Ta Ta Ta

However, we can still substitute the sound for a half note, because the tie requires us

not to break the notes apart.

Draw a Tie between beat 3 and beat 1 of the following measures.

Ta Ta Ta - ah Ta Ta

Now, try reading 4 beat rhythmic patterns using the tie.

Can you do it?
