• In music, a whole note (American or "German" terminology) or semibreve (British or "classical" terminology) is a note represented by a hollow oval note head, like a half note (or minim), and no note stem. • Its length is typically equal to four beats in 4/4 time. • Most other notes divide the whole note; half notes are played for one half the duration of the whole note, quarter notes (or crotchets) are each played for one quarter the duration, etc. •A whole note lasts half as long as a double whole note (or breve).


•In music, a half note (American or German terminology) or minim (British or classical terminology) is a note played for half the duration of a whole note (or semibreve)• In time signatures with a denominator of 4, such as 4/4 or 3/4 time, the half note is two beats long.


•In music, a quarter note (American or "German" terminology) or crotchet (British or "classical" terminology) is a note played for one quarter of the duration of a whole note (or semibreve), and is a prominent feature in Arabic music. Quarter notes are notated with a filled-in oval note head and a straight, flagless stem. The stem usually points upwards if it is below the middle line of the stave or downwards if it is on or above the middle line


• An eighth note (American or "German" terminology) or a quaver (British or Western classical terminology) is a musical note played for one eighth the duration of a whole note, hence the name.• Eighth notes are notated with an oval, filled-in note head and a straight note stem with one flag


Sixteenth Note • In music, a sixteenth note (American or

"German" terminology) or semiquaver (also occasionally demiquaver, British or "classical" terminology) is a note played for one sixteenth the duration of a whole note, hence the name.• The semiquaver is half of a quaver which is an eighth note.• Sixteenth notes are notated with an oval, filled-in note head and a straight note stem with two flags.
