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

In 4/4 time, (granted that each quarter note gets 1 beat), sixteenth notes get 1/4 of a beat.

In 4/4 2/4, 3/4, 5/4, or "anything"/4 time, a sixteenth note gets 1/4th of a beat.

In 6/8 or "anything"/8 it gets half of a beat.

Get this; in 4/2 time it gets 1/8th a beat. From this point you should be able to do the math.

notes arent beats. notes are sounds that go on top of or in between beats. for example: if you got a piece of music written in 4/4 time, that would be 4 beats to that measure. then you place whatever kinda notes you want inside that measure. first beat use a quarter note, second beat you can use twoh notes 3rd beat you can use 4 16 notes and the 4th beat you can use 8 32nd notes. you can mix and match. hope that makes sense

That depends on the time signature and the tempo, among other things. The most common time signature is 4/4, meaning there are 4 beats in each "bar" of written music and a quarter note gets 1 beat. An eighth note gets half a beat and a sixteenth note gets 1/4 beat. But different time signatures can make it longer or shorter. Then there's the tempo of the song, such as adagio (very slowly), andante (moderate), allegro (quickly), or presto (extremely fast). A song might be marked to have one type of tempo throughout, but very often the tempo is changed during the piece to suit the mood the composer wishes to convey.

A sixteenth note has two flags or beams: Sixteenth notes are one fourth of a beat in 4/4 time. This means that there are four sixteenth notes in a quarter note and two sixteenths in an eighth note. Subdividing with Sixteenth Notes

How many beats in a sixteeneth note?

A sixteenth note receives 1/4 of a beat. It is referred to as a "sixteenth note" because it takes sixteen of them to create 4 beats. Most songs contain 4 beat measures known as "common time."


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 beats does a sixteenth note get in 3 4 time in piano?

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 does a sixteenth not triplet get?

If it is 4/4 time, then it gets 1/4 of that quarter note. So meaning there would be 16 sixteenth notes in a measure if you filled the bar with sixteenth notes.


How many eight note equal to sixteenth note?

2 sixteenth note


What note gets 1 fourth a beat?

A semiquaver or a sixteenth note takes 1/4 beats according to the common convention that a quarter note takes one 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. However, I've never heard of a time signature with seven beats, so it's probably not very relevant. Also, this answer assumes each beat is a quarter note (not, say, a dotted quarter or an eight).


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.


How much are each music note worth?

A whole note is worth 4 beats, a half note is worth 2 beats, a quarter note is worth 1 beat, an eighth note is worth 1/2 a beat, a sixteenth note is worth 1/4 of a beat, a dotted half note is worth 3 beats, and a dotted quarter note is worth 1 and a 1/2 beats.


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.


How many quarter notes equal 6 beats?

three because two eighth notes equal one quarter note


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?
