Rhythm - Half Note

This is a half note. For our purposes, this note is held for two beats.

You can either count two beats:                                            1 - 2 




or you can say the chant that we learned in class:                   long - note

Below is a recording of myself playing four half notes. Do you hear and see how long it lasts?
