Music Theory QuickThink: 

-          Note heads should clearly be placed on the line or space for the pitch they represent

-          Stems should go down for notes who’s note head are above the center line

-          Stems should go up for notes who’s note head are below the center line

-          Flags should be drawn down and to the right for stems that go up

-          Flags should be drawn up and to the right for stems that go down

-          8th notes contain 1 flag, 16th notes 2 flags, 32nd notes 3 flags, etc.

-          No matter what the meter or time signature, the ratios of rhythmic note values remain constant

-          A whole note length is equal to the sum of two half notes

-          A half note length is equal to the sum of two quarter notes

-          A quarter note length is equal to the sum of two eighth notes

-          An eighth note length is equal to the sum of two sixteenth notes
