When you are counting beats, you say 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

Each time you say a number (1,2,3,4) this is a quarter note (from one number to the next)

Example: 1 & is one quarter note.

Each time you say either a number or &, this is an eighth note.

Example: 1 is one eighth note, &is one eighth note.

What are name notes in music?

A musical note is a graphic representing a length of time. More specifically, it represents a subdivision of a "measure". For instance, if you are playing in 4/4 time (that's four beats in a measure, quarter note gets the best...so a measure consists of four quarter notes...) a quarter notes takes up one quarter of a measure, so there are four quarter notes in a measure. For another example, there would be eight eighth notes per measure. For a more advanced example, a quarter note, followed by two eighth notes, followed by two sixteenth notes, followed by three eighth notes will equal a measure. (1/4 + 2/8 + 2/16 + 3/8 = 1 measure). The definition of a note is often confused with musical "pitch" which delineates frequency by note name, i.e. A, B, D flat, G sharp, etc.

What is the meaning of cut time in time signature?

Cut time is basically Common time cut in half. Common time is 4/4 time. Which is 4 beats per measure, one beat equal to one quarter note. Cut time is 2/2 time. Two beats a measure, one beat equal to one half note. The only difference between the two is the way that the rythym is counted. Each one dictates one whole note, two half notes, four quarter notes, or eight eighth notes per measure. In common time , four quarters notes would be counted as, 1 2 3 4 In cut time, four quarter notes would be coutned as 1 + 2 + Cut time is used for fast paced songs. If you want four quarter notes to be played very rapidly, insetead of using common time (or 4/4 time) to count each quarter note, it is easier to use cut time (2/2 time) and count every other note.
