For these questions, you will see a series of one-measure patterns. Your job is to decide whether the measures are complete and, if necessary, to complete them.

To answer the questions, look at the time signature to determine how many beats should be in the measure.

This measure is in 4/4. It should have 4 beats.

 

Next, count the number of beats that you see on the staff. Decide if the measure is complete or if it needs more notes to fill all of the beats.

Two quarter notes + two eighth notes = 3 beats.
This measure needs one more beat to be complete.
