Grace Notes Explained

Grace Notes in music represent a note that is played so fast that it doesn’t get a beat. Think of it as a blur.

Some times they’re used in order to allow the sheet music to be more legible. Rather than seeing a bunch of 16th notes sliding into a downbeat (quarter note) its not odd to see Grace Notes in place so that the music is more user friendly to read read by the performer.

This video will explain more about Grace Notes and their function. Their very useful and can spice up your music quite nicely.
