Remember: A play note block has a pitch, high or low, and a length in beats. A rest is a pause, and a repeat block plays a tune again.
Read and answer
Read the story, then answer.
Teo's parade tuneA parade marched down Maple Street, and Teo bounced along. The drums played low and slow, and the flutes played high and quick. Teo wanted music for his game, made with blocks. At Code Club Ms. Ade showed him the sound blocks. A note has two things, she said: how high or low, and how long. Pitch is how high or low a note sounds. Length is how long a note rings, from one beat for short to four for long. Teo snapped four play note blocks in a row, all the same, and out came beep, beep, beep, beep. So he made the second note higher and the third lower, and he made the last note long. Then he added a rest, which is a pause, and wrapped the tune in a repeat block, so it played twice with no copying.

Teo's tune
1The last note The last note has the most music notes, 4 beats, so it rings the longest.
28 1 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 8 beats.
3high Pitch is how high or low a note sounds. How long it rings is its length.
4False Pitch is how high or low a note is, not how loud.
5A beeping robot Four of the same note just beep, beep, beep, beep.
64 Each time round, 2 notes sound and the rest is silent. Two notes played twice make 4 notes.
71-D, 2-B, 3-E, 4-A, 5-C Pitch is high or low, length is how long, a rest is a pause, a beat measures length, and a repeat block plays the tune again.
83, 4, 5, 1, 2 Teo fixed the flat beeps first, then added a rest, and then made the whole tune play twice.
9False A rest is a pause. It makes no sound.
10Every note has the same pitch and length, so change some of them A tune of the same note over and over sounds flat. Changing some pitches and lengths makes it a tune.
1116 One time through is 1 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 8 beats. Twice is 8 + 8 = 16 beats.
