There are many kinds of notes and rests, each with a different amount of time. A quarter note generally denotes one beat, a half note two beats, a whole note four beats. An eighth note is half a beat, a sixteenth note is one-fourth of a beat. A dot at the end of a note adds one beat to the note (i.e. a dotted half note is three beats). This whole explanation is assuming you are in 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, etc. time.

It depends on what time signature you're in, and therefore which note gets the beat. The most common time signature is 4/4 in which the quarter note gets the beat and there are four beats per measure. In that time signature the breakdown would be:

Whole Note/Whole Rest = 4 beats (a full measure)

Half Note/Half Rest = 2 beats (half a measure)

Quarter Note/Quarter Rest = 1 beat ( 1/4 of a measure)

Eighth Note/Eighth Rest = 1/2 a beat ( 1/8 of a measure)

Sixteenth Note/Sixteenth Rest = 1/4 a beat ( 1/16 of a measure)

And you can continue on subdividing the beat into smaller values. Then there are dotted notes/rests, which look exactly as the sound: one of the above notes/rests with a dot next to it. This dot indicates that you add half of the note's value to it. So a dotted quarter note would be 1 beat + 1/2 a beat (an eighth note) in 4/4.

Give the equivalent or values of notes and rest?

The time values of notes and notes and corresponding rests are the same. Both the quarter note and the quarter rest worth one beat each. Two quarter rests (as well as two quarter notes) are equivalent to a half rest (half note) in duration.


What are the different kinds and values of notes and rest?

there are whole notes, half notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, and quarter notes. there are also whole rests, half rests, eighth rests, quarter rests etc. to find out how they look like, go on google images. to find more info, go on google, ask, yahoo, or msn.


The time value of the notes and the rests?

In common time: Whole notes and rests = 4 beats Dotted half notes and rests = 3 beats Half notes and rests = 2 beats Dotted quarter notes and rests = 1 1/2 beats Quarter notes and rests = 1 beat Eighth notes and rests = 1/2 beat Sixteenth notes and rests = 1/4 beat Values change as the bottom number of the time signature changes


Musical notes and their values from different timesignature?

Notes and rests always carry the same value no matter what the time signature. A quarter note or rest is always held for one beat, but depending on how you're counting the time, it may be more than one count (ex. if your beat is in eighth notes, a quarter note is gonna be two counts- "one and, two and, three and..." but if your beat is in quarter notes, it's just gonna be one count- "one, two, three...")


How many counts are in a half rest?

i am not so sure!! hjjukil p

How do you use notes and rest?

You do not convert rests into notes. Rests serve a purpose in music. A piece of music can get quieter and quieter and then silent. Suddenly BOOM. Listen to good music. Rests let a good composer do things otherwise impossible.


Where can you find notes and values?

Notes and values are found in music, and in written musical scores. Notes are the melodic notes of a particular pitch, and values are their duration, e.g. crotchet - quarter note, minim - half note, etc.


What is the importance of rest and notes in music?

Rests and notes make up all that music is. The notes are the circular looking marks and most have staffs or lines on them which resemble lower case letter "b's" and "d's". Rests are small hash marks or bars in between notes in which no music is played. This allows the piece to flow and harmonize with the other instruments.

What is space between notes in music called?

Just that space ! It is indicated on paper by using RESTS.
