a quarter note is counted [one, two, three, four...] in 4/4, there would be 4 quarter notes per measure.eight notes are counted twice a 'fast' as quarter notes [one (and) two (and) three (and)...] in 4/4, there would be 8 eighth notes per measure.sixteenth notes are twice as 'fast' as as eight notes, and four times as fast as quarter notes. [one e (and) a two e (and) a...] in 4/4, there would be 16 sixteenth notes per measure.so naturally, thirty second notes are twice as 'fast' as sixteenth notes, and eight times as 'fast' as quarter notes. In 4/4 time signature, there would be 32 thirty second notes per measure.
a whole note equals 4 beats and takes up an entire measure in a 4/4 time signature
There are two minums in a semibreve. There are two Crotchets in a Minum. There are two Quavers in a Crotchet. There are two Semiquavers in a Quaver. There are two DemiSemiQuavers in a SemiQuavers. There are two HemiDemiSemiQuavers in a DemiSemiQuavers.
a semibreve lasts for 4 beats which is the same as 4 crotchets

A semiquaver (16th note) takes 1/4 beats. Two crotchets (quarter notes) take 2 beats. Hence in duration, 8 semiquavers are equivalent to two crotchets.

The musical notes are always the same, and indicated by the symbol used. A crotchet always lasts half the length of a semibreve. A quaver always lasts half the length of a crotchet, and so on. How long a crotchet is is usually given in the tempo. For instance, it might say 120 crotchets per minute. The time signature at the start shows how many notes there are in a bar. This is to do with the phrasing of the music, not how long individual notes last. A time signature of 3/4 means that there are 3 crotchets in a bar.
