In 4/4 or common time, a quarter note equals 1 beat. There are 4 beats per measure. 4 sixteenth notes equal 1 quarter note in 4/4 time. There are 16 sixteenth notes per measure, in groups of 4. (4 x 4 = 16) Eighth notes are 8 to a measure. Here is a helpful music equation: 2 eighth notes equals 1 quarter note equals 4 sixteenth notes. If you are in 6/8 time, notice that 8 is the bottom number, so the 8th note becomes the unit of 1 but the ratios between the notes are still the same. Now the 8th note gets one beat, quarter note gets 2 beats, dotted quarter gets 3 and since the 8th note STILL equals 2 16th notes, there would be 12 16th notes per measure because there are 2 16th notes for every 8th note (6 x 2 = 12). Always check the time signature before you begin playing.

2 16ths = 1 8th, so 2 8ths = 4 16ths.

Two sixteenths in an eighth. Two eights in a quarter. The dot equals one sixteenth. So that's five sixteenths in a dotted quarter.


How many sixteenth notes in a dotted quarter note?

There are four sixteenth notes in one quarter note. This is because there is 2 sixteenth notes in one eight note, and 2 eight note in a quarter, solving your problem. Best Regards, from Mishico :D


How many sixteenth notes are in a half note?

Twelve. Remember that the dot always adds one half of the original note to the total - so a dotted half note is three beats in length. (Cut a half note in half and you get a quarter, so a dotted half note is two beats for the half note and one beat for the quarter you added to it) So now you can take those three beats (Three quarter notes) and cut them in half, which is six eighth notes, and then cut that in half and get twelve sixteenth notes. Phew. I hope that made sense.
