Lesson Content

Reasons for The Production Of Mosaic: Musical Notes And Their Values

Music uses symbols called notes to represent sound duration and pitch. Mosaics are artworks made by arranging small pieces to form patterns.

Reasons for the Production of Mosaic:
Mosaics serve various purposes, from reflecting societal issues to preserving past events.

The following are:

To reflect societal issues, e.g., cultism, HIV, smoking.
To promote cultural awareness.
To beautify environments.
To pass moral lessons.
To preserve historical events.
to commemorate vital figures or events.
To educate the public on specific topics.

Musical Notes and Their Values:
Musical notes represent the duration of sounds in music, each having a specific beat value.

They are:

Semibreve – 4 beats (whole note).
Minim – 2 beats (half note).
Crotchet – 1 beat (quarter note).
Quaver – 1/2 beat (eighth note).
Semiquaver – 1/4 beat (sixteenth note).
Demisemiquaver – 1/8 beat (thirty-second note).
Hemi-demisemiquaver – 1/16 beat (sixty-fourth note).
