You call it a flag (or if the note has the stem going down it could be the notehead).

What does a two eighth note look like?

A eighth note looks like a quarter note with a flag on it, to double it you would put a dot beside it.


Dotted whole and dotted quarter note?

A beat is the basic rhythmic unit of music. For more information, ask another question (one could ask a musically knowledgeable person in the flesh, as this is very basic musical knowledge).A dotted quarter note and an eighth note are worth two (2) beats together, with hits (notes starting) on the downbeat (beat 1) and the "and" (second half) of beat 2.If you are counting half notes (each half of each beat), then a dotted quarter note would last for three counts. If counting aloud, it would last while one counts "1 + 2" (one-and-two). The eighth note would then last when you count the "and" or + of beat 2.The top two cards in the image show a dotted quarter note plus and eighth note.The first two bottom cards (when reading left to right) show a quarter note and pair of eighth notes. The quarter note and the first eighth note are tied (with orange).The tie means to hold tone duration (or not to strike/hit on an instrument again) for the added values of the tied notes. The quarter note and eighth note tied are worth 1.5 beats - the same as a dotted quarter note. Therefore, in regards to the note values:dotted quarter note + eighth note = quarter note tied with eighth note + eighth note

What is the word for the numbers at the beginning which tell you how many beats are in each bar?

The top number represents the number of beats in a bar in the piece. The bottom number represents the kind of note gets one beat. If the bottom number is 4, it is a quarter note. If it is an 8, it is an eighth note. just put one over the number and that is it. 4 for the top note and 4 for the bottom means that there are four quarter notes in a measure. 12 on the top and 8 on the bottom means there are 12 eighth notes in the bar. Hope that helps. :)P.S. These numbers are called the "Time Signature"
