Try these sequenced music rhythm games and quizzes to help learn music in 4/4 time.
These games are great for beginners learning piano or learning music.
At the top of the page you'll find the musical symbols we're using for the games below.
We need to have a basis for how many beats a note or rest gets and that is the 4/4 time signature. (Every bar will need to add up to 4).
Here the notes and rests we will use in the games and quizzes and their counts.
Noisy notes are on the left and quiet rests are on the left in this chart below. Learn these and I will ask some questions in a quiz below to see if you get it.
Quarter Note 1 Count |
Quarter Rest 1 Count |
Half Note 2 Counts Dotted Half Note 3 Counts |
Half Rest 2 Counts |
Whole note 4 counts |
Whole Rest 4 Counts. |

Here is a quiz for you to test your understanding of how many counts each rest and note has. Don't worry if you don't get them all right at first as you get another chance.
Did you find this one difficult? Can you remember how many beats the rest with the hat represented?
Drag and drop the notes and rests below into their counts in the 4/4 time signature.
In this rhythm memory quiz try to match the cards with the same count value. Try it a couple of times and try to do it faster next time. There is a timer below.
This is another quiz like the one above. Howeve this one is a little different. What's your best time?
Drag the notes and rests to organize them from one count to four counts.
Match the notes and rests with something with the same time count.
Let's get started on some more complicated rhythm tasks. Can you match these?
