The quarter note.
Hope it helps!(I am in choir, so I know)
EDIT: It does not always, it only does in 4 over 4 time(not really a over in between but I don't know how to show it the real way)
a quarter rest
It could be the quarter note if the piece is slower, or the dotted-half in something faster (such as a waltz).
A note or rest that is followed by a dot (or period) will have it's duration increased by 1/2 of the note's (or rest's) original value.For example: a dotted quarter note will have a value of one-quarter plus one-eighth of a beat.
There are two beats in a minim rest. A minim is a two beat note so a minim rest would be a two beat note where your not playing!Fizzysweete
It depends on what time signature you're in, and therefore which note gets the beat. The most common time signature is 4/4 in which the quarter note gets the beat and there are four beats per measure. In that time signature the breakdown would be: Whole Note/Whole Rest = 4 beats (a full measure) Half Note/Half Rest = 2 beats (half a measure) Quarter Note/Quarter Rest = 1 beat ( 1/4 of a measure) Eighth Note/Eighth Rest = 1/2 a beat ( 1/8 of a measure) Sixteenth Note/Sixteenth Rest = 1/4 a beat ( 1/16 of a measure) And you can continue on subdividing the beat into smaller values. Then there are dotted notes/rests, which look exactly as the sound: one of the above notes/rests with a dot next to it. This dot indicates that you add half of the note's value to it. So a dotted quarter note would be 1 beat + 1/2 a beat (an eighth note) in 4/4.
There are a few different kinds of notes and beats in music. Some of the notes and beats in music are half note- two beats, whole note- four beats, one beat- eight notes, half beat, sixteenth and one fourth beats.
The value of a minim rest is identical to that of a minim note.
it gets 6/8 beats
A "rest". The duration of the rest can be: * a whole note * a half note * a quarter note * an eighth note * a sixteenth note And in any time signature variation.
I believe you mean "crotchet" which is a British musical term for quarter note. In 4/4 (common) time it receives one beat.quaver = eighth note; semi-quaver = sixteenth note.minims = half notes (two crochets); semibreves = whole-notes (four crotchets)source: http://www.shanemcdonald.org/music/learn-types-of-music-notes.html
Each note or rest determines the amount of beats in for a note or rest. The time signature of a song consists of two numbers, the top number represents how many beats in a measure, and the bottom number represents how many beats a whole note gets. In 4/4 timing (4/4 being the time signature) a whole note/rest gets four beats and a measure consists of four beats. Therefore: Half note/rest- Two Beats Quarter note/rest- One beat Eighth note/rest- Half of a beat Sixteenth note/rest- Quarter of a beat and so on to 32nd, 64th, etc. Another coming time signature includes 2/2 (cut time) where a whole note/rest gets two beats and there are two beats in a measure. Therefore: Half note/rest- One Beat Quarter note/rest- Half of a beat Eighth note/rest- Quarter of a beat Etc. Other common time signatures include 3/4 (three beats to a measure), 2/4, and 6/8. Follow the same process in deriving the number of beats in a note or rest.
It means you have to rest for half a beat until the next note.
