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?

How many sixteenth notes are in a half note?

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.


What is the difference between an eighth note and a sixteenth note?

What does an eighth note plus a sixteenth note equal?

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.


What are the different notes and rests values?

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.

What is the value of an sixteen note in 2 2 time?

In 2/2 time, also known as cut time, there are two beats per measure, and each beat is a half note. A sixteenth note is one-fourth the duration of a quarter note and one-eighth the duration of a half note. Therefore, in 2/2 time, a sixteenth note is worth one-eighth of a beat. This means that it takes four sixteenth notes to equal one beat in this time signature.

How many beats in a sixteenth 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
