...is a half note when, in the time signature, the quarter note = 1 beat (any time signature/4). In any time/8, it would be a quarter note. Etc, etc...
It is called a minim (or half note (US)). It is written as an unfilled oval with a stem, (unfilled crotchet)
A dotted whole note.
Minim
Generally, a minim; also known as half note is known as the note worth two beats.
A whole note tied to a half note tied to a quarter note gets seven beats.
Two beats out of four. Hence the name half note! :P
A whole note last for four beats Half notes last for two Quarter notes last 1 beat Eighth notes are half a beat. The actual length of a note depends on the tempo of the song. You can play songs fast or slow with the same notes and still have the same song, just quicker.
At the beginning of the register, there will be two numbers, one on top of each other. The top number tells how many beats there are in each measure, the bottom number tells how many beats to give the whole note. The standard 4/4 time signature has four beats per measure, 4 beats per whole note.
A whole note is a note in music that is four beats long. A half note is a note in music that is two beats long.
A minim is a musical note equal to two crotchet beats.

The common duration is two beats.Most music has a "x/4" time signature that describes the quarter note as being one beat. A half note lasts twice as long as the quarter note; thus, two beats.In a 4/4 measure, a half note gets two beats. Think of a measure like a pie. In 4/4, a quarter note (the top four) is a single beat, and there are four beats in a measure (the bottom four). A half note is half of the pie, so it gets half of the four.It would likely be two beats wherever you are, as western musical notation is a uniform system. However, you would have to check the time signature to be sure. It is not impossible to run into signatures of 2/2 or 3/2, in which case a half-note (minim) is equal to one beat, with two or three beats per measure for the above examples.A half note has two beats in 4/4, 3/4, and 2/4 time.
It has TWO.
