The crotchet and quarter note are the exact same. The latter is derived from tempo: it fulfills a quarter value from a measure of 4/4 time signature. Neither one is incorrect or obscure.

What are the different kinds of notes and their description?

Notes are named as a fraction of a common Measure of music. The most common note is the Quarter note which is 1/4th of a measure of common time (4/4 time). In 4/4 time the quarter note lasts one beat. Then the half note (2 beats) and the whole note (4 beats). Quarter notes have an egg shaped note head that is shaded in and a stem attached to it. Halve notes look similar with out the note head shaded in and the whole note does not use a note stem. To make a 3 beat not we add a dot to a half note. The dot adds 50% to the notes value. (1/2 of 2 beats =1) and (2 beats +1beat=3beats). After that you have further divisions of time by dividing the quarter note into 8th notes 16th, 32nd.....


What is the length of dotted note?

The dot adds half the value of the note to the note. For example, let's say you have. Quarter note. Last time I checked, it was equal to one beat. When you add the dot, it takes half of the value from The note it's with and adds it to the note. So quarter note plus dot makes it 1.5 beats. Let's use a half note. Two beats, right. Add a dot. Take half of two. That's one. Add it back to two. You now have three beats, or a dotted half note.

How many beats is in a eighth note?

In 4/4 time there are eight 1/8 notes per measue (two per beat). Divide four by eight and one finds that there are 0.5 or 1/2 beats per 1/8 note. Hope this helps.It's 1\2 of a beat. So basically half of a quarter note. A technique you can use is taking a small sniff. That will be at least half of a quarter note.


Do half notes and half rests have the same value?

Yes. In a typical 4/4 time signature, and all other time signatures, a half note and half rest have a two beat duration. Hence the "Half Note" name. In time signatures such as 3/4 you cannot use more beats than you have. For instance if you have a measure that reads: Quarter; Quarter; the next note cannot be a half. The only way to carry a quarter across a bar line is via a tie or slur.
