Playing Tied Notes

When a pair of notes is tied, the second note of the pair is not plucked or attacked again. Instead, the first note is plucked/attacked and held for the duration of both notes.

What are two notes tied together called?

What are tied notes?

A tie is a curved line between the two notes of the same pitch, like this: Tied notes are to be played as a single note with the total duration of the tied note values. Basically, it is used to sustain the note duration. In this example, we have a tie between two quarter notes.
