A quarter note equals 1 beat. So an eighth note equals one half of a beat. This is assuming you are using 4/4 time. In 4/4 time there are 4 beats to a measure. A measure would have 4 quarter notes. If you use all eighth notes you would have 8 notes in a measure. Two eighth notes equal 1 quarter note which equals 1 beat.
There are only so many note "denominations" so to speak. a "whole" note will last as long as the bar count indicated thus a single note drawn out for the length of the count. A bar count would be something like 1,2,3,4/2,2,3,4/3,2,3,4....and so on.
A "half" note will be two notes per measure.
quarter notes-4 and eighth notes-8, sixteenth notes -16, and thirty second notes-32. you will not often get anything higher than that.
Each note will get a single beat if the time signature indicates it. If the time signature is 4/4 that would mean that there are 4 beats per bar (measure) and the quarter note gets the beat as described above.
If a time signature indicates 6/8 time that would mean that there are 6 beats per bar and the eighth note get the beat. like so 1,2,3,4,5,6/2,2,3,4,5,6/3,2,3,4,5,6...
3/4 time is 1,2,3/2,2,3/3,2,3 and so on.
It depends on the meter, but in common time, an eighth note is half a beat.
Most often half a beat, but can be one beat, quarter of a beat etc, depending on time signature
It depends on the meter, but in common time, an eighth note is half of a beat.
eighth note: quaver, so half a beat
1/2 beat.
An eighth note is one HALF of ONE BEAT ( or quarter note)
6|8 time means there are six beats in a measure, and the eighth note gets the count. So, there are six eighth note beats per measure in 6|8 time.
eer
another eighth note because: a quarter + a half=3 beats + eighth = 3 1/2 beats so add another eighth and u get 4 beats.
It gets half of a beat. Two eighth notes equal one quarter note.
An eighth note is one HALF of ONE BEAT ( or quarter note)
1) its actually, how many BEATS in and 8th and whole note. 2) there are 4 beats in a whole note 3) there is 1/2 a beat in an eighth note
6|8 time means there are six beats in a measure, and the eighth note gets the count. So, there are six eighth note beats per measure in 6|8 time.
An eighth note takes up 1/8th of a measure. The length of the measure is determined by the length of the time signature. For instance, in common (or 4/4 time) there are 4 beats in a measure. A whole note takes 4 beats, a half note takes 2, a quarter note takes 1 beat and an eighth note gets 1/2 a beat.
That is an eighth note

In six-eight time, a quarter note gets two beats. (An eight note gets one.)
another eighth note because: a quarter + a half=3 beats + eighth = 3 1/2 beats so add another eighth and u get 4 beats.
It gets half of a beat. Two eighth notes equal one quarter note.
An eighth note, a quarter note, and a half note.
Depends on the time signature. In 4/4 a whole note is 4 beats and there would be 8 eighth notes.
Strangely enough, an eighth note is one eighth of a whole note.
