What does a beat equal to in music sheets How do you know how many beats in a note?

Check the rhythm signature, which is printed on the staff, to the right of the treble or bass clef signs. In text like this we usually write a rhythm signature as two numbers with a slash between (for example 4/4) but on the music score the first number is written above the second number. The first number tells how many beats are in a measure (the space between two vertical bar lines). The second number tells what kind of note gets one beat. In 4/4, there are four beats and a quarter note gets one beat; in 3/4 there are three beats and a quarter note still gets one beat. (This is not a place we can put a picture of the notes, but you should be able to find that on some web site.) If a quarter note gets one beat, a half note gets two, a whole note gets four. A beat could also be two eighth notes or four sixteenth notes. There are other combinations such as one eighth and two sixteenths together.

What is the word for the numbers at the beginning which tell you how many beats are in each bar?

The top number represents the number of beats in a bar in the piece. The bottom number represents the kind of note gets one beat. If the bottom number is 4, it is a quarter note. If it is an 8, it is an eighth note. just put one over the number and that is it. 4 for the top note and 4 for the bottom means that there are four quarter notes in a measure. 12 on the top and 8 on the bottom means there are 12 eighth notes in the bar. Hope that helps. :)P.S. These numbers are called the "Time Signature"
