What are the different notes and rests values?

Answer 1

There are many kinds of notes and rests, each with a different amount of time. A quarter note generally denotes one beat, a half note two beats, a whole note four beats. An eighth note is half a beat, a sixteenth note is one-fourth of a beat. A dot at the end of a note adds one beat to the note (i.e. a dotted half note is three beats). This whole explanation is assuming you are in 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, etc. time.

Answer 2

It depends on what time signature you're in, and therefore which note gets the beat. The most common time signature is 4/4 in which the quarter note gets the beat and there are four beats per measure. In that time signature the breakdown would be:

Whole Note/Whole Rest = 4 beats (a full measure)

Half Note/Half Rest = 2 beats (half a measure)

Quarter Note/Quarter Rest = 1 beat ( 1/4 of a measure)

Eighth Note/Eighth Rest = 1/2 a beat ( 1/8 of a measure)

Sixteenth Note/Sixteenth Rest = 1/4 a beat ( 1/16 of a measure)

And you can continue on subdividing the beat into smaller values. Then there are dotted notes/rests, which look exactly as the sound: one of the above notes/rests with a dot next to it. This dot indicates that you add half of the note's value to it. So a dotted quarter note would be 1 beat + 1/2 a beat (an eighth note) in 4/4.
