The following exercise is in ^ time, where there are 3 quarter note beats per bar ( see Time Signatures ).
It also introduces the dotted half note 2 which is worth three counts. When a dot is placed after a note it increases the value of that note by a half ( see Note Values ).
A tie is a curved line joining two or more notes of the same pitch. The second note (or notes) is not played, but its time value is added to that of the first note. In bar 1 the G note is held for a total of 4 counts (2+2) and bar 15 it is held for 6 counts (4+2).
