in 4/4 time, a note held for 3 beats is a dotted minim.
the minim is 2 beats and the dot adds half the value of the note, hence 3 beats.
Any note can be a half note, as long as it is held for two full counts. This applies to any instrument.
two counts
An eighth note is worth half a beat.
A breve is a note that lasts for 8 beats/counts.
That means it's not a quarter note, it is an eighth note, which counts for half a beat of a quarter note.
A dotted half note has three beats; you hold it for three counts.

two counts
An eighth note is worth half a beat.
A breve is a note that lasts for 8 beats/counts.
That means it's not a quarter note, it is an eighth note, which counts for half a beat of a quarter note.
depends on the tempo (3 over 4, 2 over 4, 4 over 4). Easy answer is in a 4 over 4 tempo, a whole note receives 4 counts (the whole measure), a half note receives 2 counts, a quarter note receives 1 count (or beat) (see the pattern?), and watch this: half of a quarter is an eighth (music) so an eighth note receives half a count. test to you: how many counts does a sixteenth note receive?.
It's just called a half note
The number of counts in a whole note is dependent on the time signature. If the bottom number is 4 (quarter) then the whole note gets 4 counts; if the bottom number is 2 (half) then the whole note get 2 counts; etc.
