New Symbol: Tie
New Symbol: Tie
A tie is a curved line that connects two notes together. In this example, a two-beat half note is tied to a one-beat quarter note, making one note that gets three beats.
In the Storm Belt song, a two-beat half note is tied to a one-half-beat eighth note, making one note that is two and one-half beats long. Start by playing that measure without a tie, and then practice connecting the two D's together. Watch the video below if you're still having trouble.
