Try www. teoria.com. THis site helped me a lot with rests. If you're in the school band you'll probably be practicing during the summer, and you should be able to pick it there. If not , your music teacher would definitely be able to pick up on your lack of understanding just by listening to your performance. Good luck.

Sorry not a tomboy, but a band director. This is the way I help my kids learn rests. First they are just as important as notes. Every note has a partner rest that shares the same musical value.
A whole rest is 4 beats of silence. Thats the one that looks like a " HOLE" on the staff. It's heavy because it is taking up the whole measure and hangs below the line. The half rest is 2 beats of silence and it is half the value of the whole rest. It looks like a HAT on the staff. It looks like the opposite of the whole rest. And the quarter rest is 1 beat of silence and it looks like a lightning bolt. I don't know what grade you started playing the trumpet, but please keep playing, get private lessons with a good trumpet teacher. That always helps.

A tomboy but still yet not I'm in the high school marching band concert band a cheerleader and soccer player so ya kno i really don't kno what thats classifys me as but ne ways. When i was in middle school and it was getting time for clinic tryouts and i ALWYAS had a problem putting in rests so my (private) Obobe Teacher told me that when i have a quarter rest in my music just imagine that there is a huge bass drum banging in its place and he said play your rests LOUD so that might not help you with ne thing but the quater rests (lightning bolt) but it helped me.
