a minim
If 1 beat is a crotchet, which is a black dot with a stem, then 2 beats would be a minim, which is an empty circle with a stem.
No. A one beat note is called a crotchet and a two beat note is called a minim.
Presuming you're in crotchet time e.g. 4 time 4 an eight beat note is called a breve a four beat note is called a semibreve a two beat note is called a minim a one beat note is called a crotchet a half beat note is called a quaver a quarter beat is called a semiquaver an eighth(1/8) beat is called a demisemiquaver
The name of the note that carries the beat differs based on the time signature (ex. 4/4) The top number of the time signature indicates how many beats are in a measure. The bottom one shows what type of note is a full beat. For instance, in the time signature 6/8, the measure is made up of six eighth notes. The most common time signature is 4/4, where the measure contains four quarter notes. In that case, two half beat notes are two eighth notes strung together
That depends: a quarter note receives 1 beat in 4/4 time but a 1/2 of a beat in 2/4 time. it depends on what time signature the music has. in 4/4 time though: quarter note: one beat half note: 2 beats eighth note: 1/2 a beat whole note: 4 beats
2 2 time, sometimes referred to as 'cut time', has 2 beats per measure, each beat is a half-note. So a measure is equal to one whole note Therefore, an eighth note is one-eighth (1/8) of a measure. If you're asking the value per beat... there are 2 quarter notes per beat, and there are 4 eighth notes per beat. Or, an eighth note is one-quarter (1/4) of each 'beat' in the measure. You might count this as: One E An Uh, Two E An Uh

a quarter note is a note in music which receives one beat in a measure if that measure is in regular time (4/4). if you are in cut time (2/4) then a quarter note gets half a beat.
It has one beat.
A whole note is worth 4 beats, a half note is worth 2 beats, a quarter note is worth 1 beat, an eighth note is worth 1/2 a beat, a sixteenth note is worth 1/4 of a beat, a dotted half note is worth 3 beats, and a dotted quarter note is worth 1 and a 1/2 beats.
