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.

How many beats in a sixteenth rest?

The clue is in the name of the note. The sixteenth (or semiquaver) is one-sixteenth of a whole note (or semibreve). Look at the time signature of your piece of music: a semiquaver rest will occupy exactly the same number of beats as a semiquaver note. For example, if your piece is in 4/4 time, it will occupy a quarter of a beat.

How many sixteenth rests are needed to have 7 beats?

I think it's 28 -- there are four sixteenth notes in one quarter note times seven beats in the measure.

How many beats in a dotted quaver plus semi quaver?

A dotted quaver (dotted eighth note) is worth 1.5 beats, while a semi quaver (sixteenth note) is worth 0.25 beats. When you add them together, a dotted quaver plus a semi quaver equals 1.5 + 0.25, which totals 1.75 beats.

Does a sixteenth note get a one half of a beat?

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?
