An eighth note gets half a beat
An eighth note is worth half a beat.
Strangely enough, an eighth note is one eighth of a whole note.
An eighth note is one HALF of ONE BEAT ( or quarter note)
A paired eighth note, often referred to as a single eighth note when written as a beam with another, is worth half a beat in 4/4 time. This means that two paired eighth notes together equal one quarter note, or one beat. In other time signatures, the value remains the same, representing half of the duration of a quarter note.
Two eighth notesOne quarter note is one beat
An eighth note is worth half a beat.
Strangely enough, an eighth note is one eighth of a whole note.
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.

An eighth note (if the measure is in 4/4 time), because each measure gets 4 beats, therefore 1 beat is a quarter measure ergo, a quarter note. Half of a quarter is an eighth, therefore a half beat is an eighth note.
Two eighth notesOne quarter note is one beat
an eighth note or a quavier is worth 1/2 a beat in the bar so the decimal is 0.5
An eighth note (if the measure is in 4/4 time), because each measure gets 4 beats, therefore 1 beat is a quarter measure ergo, a quarter note. Half of a quarter is an eighth, therefore a half beat is an eighth note.
The pattern "quarter eighth eighth half" refers to a sequence of musical note durations. In this context, a quarter note is typically one beat, while an eighth note is half a beat. Thus, the pattern can be represented as: one quarter note (1 beat), followed by two eighth notes (0.5 beats each, totaling 1 beat), and then a half note (2 beats). Overall, this sequence sums to four beats, creating a rhythmic structure often used in music composition.
In 6/8 time, the eighth note gets the beat.
If we are in "common time" (as most pieces are) and, therefore, the time signature is 4/4, 2/4, 3/4 or something similar... then an eighth note is a half a beat and a sixteenth note is a quarter of a beat... so, the two of them together are three quarters of a beat in duration ( 3/4 beat ). This could also be represented by a dotted eighth note.
