The name of the note that carries the beat differs based on the time signature (ex. 4/4) The top number of the time signature indicates how many beats are in a measure. The bottom one shows what type of note is a full beat. For instance, in the time signature 6/8, the measure is made up of six eighth notes. The most common time signature is 4/4, where the measure contains four quarter notes. In that case, two half beat notes are two eighth notes strung together
It is called a minum not a semi-breve!
Minim
A half of a beat is called a quaver. A quaver is the eighth note. A quarter of a beat is called a semiquaver.
It is called a half note. It is represented by an open circle with a stem.
A quaver. A full note worth one beat is a crotchet_.
a half note
If 1 beat is a crotchet, which is a black dot with a stem, then 2 beats would be a minim, which is an empty circle with a stem.
it means that that is one full note
a whole note
A whole note has two half beats.
No. A one beat note is called a crotchet and a two beat note is called a minim.
That depends: a quarter note receives 1 beat in 4/4 time but a 1/2 of a beat in 2/4 time. it depends on what time signature the music has. in 4/4 time though: quarter note: one beat half note: 2 beats eighth note: 1/2 a beat whole note: 4 beats
a quarter note is a note in music which receives one beat in a measure if that measure is in regular time (4/4). if you are in cut time (2/4) then a quarter note gets half a beat.
A whole note is worth 4 beats, a half note is worth 2 beats, a quarter note is worth 1 beat, an eighth note is worth 1/2 a beat, a sixteenth note is worth 1/4 of a beat, a dotted half note is worth 3 beats, and a dotted quarter note is worth 1 and a 1/2 beats.
It depends on what the count is. If it's 2/4, 3/4 or 4/4, where the quarter note is one beat, then three fourths of a quarter note is a dotted eighth note.If it's 2/2 time, for example, then a beat is a half note, then three fourths of that is a dotted quarter note.
No. A one beat note is called a crotchet and a two beat note is called a minim.

usually a half noteA half note gets 2 beats if you are in a 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, etc. If you are in an 8 pattern time signature, a quarter note gets two beats.
es, math is used to keep count such as a quarter note is a 1/4 beat, and half note is 1/2, etc.
It depends on what the count is. If it's 2/4, 3/4 or 4/4, where the quarter note is one beat, then three fourths of a quarter note is a dotted eighth note.If it's 2/2 time, for example, then a beat is a half note, then three fourths of that is a dotted quarter note.
2 2 time, sometimes referred to as 'cut time', has 2 beats per measure, each beat is a half-note. So a measure is equal to one whole note Therefore, an eighth note is one-eighth (1/8) of a measure. If you're asking the value per beat... there are 2 quarter notes per beat, and there are 4 eighth notes per beat. Or, an eighth note is one-quarter (1/4) of each 'beat' in the measure. You might count this as: One E An Uh, Two E An Uh
a minim If 1 beat is a crotchet, which is a black dot with a stem, then 2 beats would be a minim, which is an empty circle with a stem.
it is a quarter note. edit: a quarter note represents 1/4 of a whole note. if you have something in cut time, 2/2, a single beat would consist of a half note if you have something with the bottom being a 4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/4, 5/4 ect., then a quarter note would represent one beat. but overall a single note is just called that, a note. regardless of whole/half/quarter/eighth/sixteenth/thirty second note value.
This depends somewhat on the style of the music. The straight answer is 3/8 of a beat (a half note gets a beat in 2 2, a quarter note gets a half of a beat, etc.). This is true for all styles except older style swing. Swing was often written in cut time, but after the advent of the "walking bass" and despite the fact that the music was written in 2 2, it was generally interpreted as 4 4. Hence, in that style of music, a dotted eighth note receives 3/4 of a beat despite the implications of the time signature.
A fast 2-beat, about quarter note 150, with strong pulse to the beat. Most musical pieces written for the can-can are labeled either "can-can" or sometimes "galop".
