How many beats does a half rest have?

Answer 1

2, a half rest has 2 counts, it looks like a hat, but not upside down(that's full rest).I, Blue Lawnchairs, think of it like a whole rest is bigger than a half rest so it is heavier and likes to fall down where the half rest is smaller or lighter and doesnt want to fall.

Answer 2

2. the best way to remember that is think about how a whole rest looks like a upside down hat and an upside down hat can hold 4 beats in it but when you hold it rightside up it poors out half of the beats and you only have 2.

Answer 3

Well think.... If there are 4 beats in a whole note and half of a whole note is half what if half of 4 it is 2 right

whole note

4

and then it goes on to eight notes sixtieth notes thirty sixth notes...

Answer 4

The 6/8 time signature contains two dotted quarter notes per measure. A whole note is longer than two dotted quarter notes, hence it cannot be included in a single measure of this time signature.
