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.
A quarter note is equal to two eighth notes, while a sixteenth note is equal to half an eighth note. When you add a quarter note (2 eighths) to a sixteenth note (0.5 eighths), the total is 2.5 eighth notes, which is equivalent to two eighth notes and one sixteenth note. In terms of note values, this can be expressed as a quarter note tied to a sixteenth note.
If after means shorter length, then that would be a sixteenth note. Two sixteenth notes equal an eighth note.
it equals a quarter note because 2 sixteenth notes equal an eight note so 4 sixteenth notes would equal a quarter 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.
Sixteenth note
If after means shorter length, then that would be a sixteenth note. Two sixteenth notes equal an eighth note.
it equals a quarter note because 2 sixteenth notes equal an eight note so 4 sixteenth notes would equal a quarter 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.
Sixteenth 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.
A sixteenth note gets half the value of an eight note. Ex. If an eighth note got one count, a sixteenth note would get one half count.
A dotted eighth note is equal in duration to three sixteenth notes.
A sixteenth note is half the duration of an eighth note, so there are two 1/16th note in one 1/8th note.
Oh, this can be so tricky, depending on the meter of the piece in question and how complex the passage is. The quick and dirty answer is that a dotted eighth has the value of three sixteenth notes. You can see that two eighth notes would be equal to 4 sixteenth notes, right? If you pair a dotted eighth note with a sixteenth note (you will see this very often: the two notes are connected with one flag/bar, the dot comes with the first note, and there is an added flag/bar segment to the second note that is short; it doesn't extend back to the first note) then the dotted eighth takes the place of the first 3 sixteenth notes in a group of four sixteenths.
three because two eighth notes equal one quarter note
2 sixteenth note
6 sixteenth notes
