Yes and no. Commonly, a quarter note gets one beat, an eighth note gets half, and a sixteenth note gets one fourth of a beat (4-4 time). Occasionally, a song will be in 4-8 or 2-8 time, then the quarter note gets two beats, the eighth note gets one, and the sixteenth note gets half a beat. That help?
no one quarter of a note
Another answer:A sixteenth note would be half a beat IF an eighth note is a beat: in 6/8 time, for example.
A sixteenth note gets half the value of an eight note. Ex. If an eighth note got one count, a sixteenth note would get one half count.
Twelve. Remember that the dot always adds one half of the original note to the total - so a dotted half note is three beats in length. (Cut a half note in half and you get a quarter, so a dotted half note is two beats for the half note and one beat for the quarter you added to it) So now you can take those three beats (Three quarter notes) and cut them in half, which is six eighth notes, and then cut that in half and get twelve sixteenth notes. Phew. I hope that made sense.
Those two notes equal a dotted eighth note. In terms of beats, (assuming common time) then the eighth note gets a half a beat and the sixteenth note gets a quarter of a beat, so the two of them together get 3/4 of a beat.
There are many kinds of notes and rests, each with a different amount of time. A quarter note generally denotes one beat, a half note two beats, a whole note four beats. An eighth note is half a beat, a sixteenth note is one-fourth of a beat. A dot at the end of a note adds one beat to the note (i.e. a dotted half note is three beats). This whole explanation is assuming you are in 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, etc. time.
A semiquaver or a sixteenth note takes 1/4 beats according to the common convention that a quarter note takes one beat.

A quaver with one tail is an eighth beat, that is, an eighth of a whole note (semibreve), or half a standard beat (crotchet).A quaver with two tails is not a quaver at all, but a semiquaver, and is a sixteenth of a whole note.== ==
There is one 1/4 of a beat in a sixteenth note, if a quarter note gets one beat. This is not true for all signatures. The value of the beats doubles or halves. Whole note = 4 beats (half of 4 is 2) half note = 2 beats (half of 2 is 1) quarter note = 1 beat ( half of 1 is 1/2) 8th note = 1/2 beat ( half of 1/2 is 1/4) 16th note = 1/4 beat ( half of 1/4 is 1/8) 32nd note = 1/8
There are 16 sixteenth notes in a whole note! Just as there are two half notes, one fourth note, etc., there are 16 sixteenth notes.
A sixteenth note is half the duration of an eighth note, so there are two 1/16th note in one 1/8th note.
In 3/4 time (whether you are playing a piano or a kazoo), there are 3 beats to the measure and a quarter note gets one beat. There are four sixteenth notes to a quarter note so the sixteenth note gets 1/4 of a beat or, another way to look at it is it takes 4 sixteenths to make a beat.
a 4 sixteenth note is a really fast note, songs like through fire and flames has a four sixteenth note, for a better view just search that song on youtube, it makes up one beat.
Well it is actually called a 16th note which is a note played for one sixteenth the duration of a whole note. ..........and you call it a semi-quaver. ...and even a demiquaver sometimes but I didn't want to get this too confusing, lol
