![]() When the semibreve is divided, each MINIM is a half note (½), each CROTCHET is a quarter note (¼) and each QUAVER is an eighth note (⅛) (see Figure 5). To interpret the lower number, each type of note is made a division, or part of the semibreve 'whole note', the largest note value in modern music. The beats in simple quadruple are grouped to form Strong-Weak-MediumStrong-Weak accent. Notwithstanding, the four beats can either be one crotchet note each, two quaver notes each, or covering two minim notes. ![]() That means each crotchet can be divided into two quaver notes beats. The LOWER number determines which TYPE of note receives 1 beat of the music. The four crotchet notes can be further divided into 8 quaver notes. If the upper number is '4', then there are four beats in each bar. 1 Whole Note 2 Half Notes 1 Half Note 2 Quarter Notes 1 Quarter Note 2 Eight Notes Whole Note Semibreve Quarter Note Crotchet Eight Note Quaver. If the upper number is '3', then there are three beats in each bar. The UPPER number is simply the total number of BEATS in each bar of the music. i feel naming the notes is the ONE thing americans have done better than europeans bc what were they thinking naming them actual words the numbers MEAN something i have no idea what a demi or a semi or a quaver is but i know a 16th note is 1/16 of a 4-beat measure. What is a TIME SIGNATURE? Why is it there and what does it tell you? The Time Signature consists of two numbers, written on the stave, one above the other to represent the timing, 'beats in a bar' of the music. Crotchets (or in American English, Quarter notes) - count 1 beat each Minims (or half-notes) - count 2 beats each Quavers (or eighth notes) - count 1/2 beat. After all, simply creating music can be very satisfying. It has a value of of a beat, the same as a semiquaver. While it is desirable for the home musician to fully understand and try to achieve correct timing, it is not so important when playing for pleasure. Semiquaver Rest (Sixteenth Note Rest) Lastly, we have a semiquaver rest (sixteenth note rest) which is very similar to the quaver rest but slightly taller and has two flicks. A group performer, a pupil taking grades of music, a member of an orchestra, a musician playing for dancing, name but a few who must strictly observe exact timing. ![]() Only the use of the metronome can ensure that the music is played exactly to the time indicated by the sign. (There is a metronome project in May 1981 E&MM and this month's special offer features the Tempo-Check.) Most musical arrangements include the 'timing sign', such as = 80, above the treble stave at the start of the music, which means that 80 crotchet beats should be played to the minute. Below are the most common notes you will. The METRONOME or 'musical clock' is the standard method of learning precise 'musical time' and although it is now included as a feature on the rhythm unit of some electronic organs it is not normally used by the home musician. Notes are split in half and half again each time with the crotchet being the standard note of one beat in length. ![]()
