Notes are named as a fraction of a common Measure of music.

The most common note is the Quarter note which is 1/4th of a measure of common time (4/4 time). In 4/4 time the quarter note lasts one beat.

Then the half note (2 beats) and the whole note (4 beats).

Quarter notes have an egg shaped note head that is shaded in and a stem attached to it.

Halve notes look similar with out the note head shaded in and the whole note does not use a note stem.

To make a 3 beat not we add a dot to a half note. The dot adds 50% to the notes value. (1/2 of 2 beats =1) and (2 beats +1beat=3beats).

After that you have further divisions of time by dividing the quarter note into 8th notes 16th, 32nd.....
